Best Answer

"La bamba" is a dance style. Probably comes from the word "bambalear" which means to stagger, reel, or sway. Do you remember the Richie Valens hit "La Bamba"? The words went like this: "Para bailar la bamba se necesita una poca de gracia y otra cosita" (In order to dance the bamba you need a little bit of grace and a little something else [probably referring to natural rhythm])"

(From the asker of the question):

Yes, that's where the term in my family came from.
