The latest slate of recordings chosen by the Library of Congress for special preservation includes Ritchie Valens’ 1958 hit “La Bamba,” the 1969 original cast recording of “Hair” and Nina Simone’s 1964 civil rights protest song “Mississippi Goddam.”

Each year, under terms of the National Recording Preservation Act of 2000, the Librarian of Congress oversees selection of 25 recordings for preservation that are deemed “culturally, historically or aesthetically significant” and at least 10 years old. “When I found out about ‘La Bamba’ going into the registry,” Perez told The Times on Tuesday, “the first thing that went through my mind was a memory of the home girls in east L.A. I’d see them walking by looking all royal with their teased-up hair and their eye makeup, a pack of Marlboro reds and a brush in one hand, and the other hand had a finger looped through a stack of 45s. And ‘La Bamba’ was always somewhere in that stack.
