Ceci Bastida, "Spanish Bombs"

This exclusive web extra features a performance by Ceci Bastida, formerly of Tijuana No!, singing the The Clash favorite "Spanish Bombs." In this exclusive interview with KCET, Ceci talks about her music and how Ricardo Flores Magon continues to be a source of inspiration.

[@explicamediavideos6257]

This is a masterful interpretation of a bilingual song that carried incredible meaning when it was first written and released by the Clash. The accordion and Spanish guitar give it the cultural nuance Joe Strummer intended when he wrote it. I don't know Ceci personally, but her rendition is a true homage.

[@heliosrodriguez3961]

Ceci es la muestra de que si se puede hacer pop rock con contenido social y sin ser ñoño o tonto.

[@Kelseyk2001]

This is my cousin hope u guys like her she's my fav

[@motorcop505]

Kelsey Kritzer You are so lucky. She is great!

[@tukamote302]

Who asked you and who cares

[@bamit11]

I like how she corrected Joe Strummer's terrible Spanish.

[@baran6187]

I have to disagree with you on that, as The Clash here intentionally uses pidgin Spanish. In fact Strummer, who had lived in Mexico for two years during childhood, at one point stated that they refrained from using standard Spanish in this song.

[@DeuxiemeFois]

She's Mexican... I guess she knows how to talk Spanish 🙄

[@ironypoisoned]

@@DeuxiemeFois She's speak mexican

[@DeuxiemeFois]

@@ironypoisoned don't you say!? Maybe because she's maxican as I said before. 🙄🤦🏽‍♂️

[@anfrankogezamartincic1161]

So many comments about grammar, what about how great art this is?

[@idiotbox254]

Well done - don't listen to these half-wits. A beautiful song beautifully presented and understood in Spanish & English. From an old school punk.

[@ingignaciosilva8140]

NO SE POR QUE ME HIZO LLORAR

[@briank.7686]

Seriously, who was Joe Strummer??!! How was he in touch with any of this? How did he know all this? A white poor kid from England who can be so expressive about Latino politics and war? I thought I had Joe figured out. I seriously can’t get my head around this.

[@yvo3770]

Strummer was an intelligent man interested in the world. For his and my generation the Spanish Civil War was important. Standing up to fascism. Still important. Slava Ukraini!

tem algo estranho nessa apresentação. A cantora não está com sua trupe

[@raidernationrules4083]

The correct Spanish just doesn’t go with the song.. punk rock isn’t meant to make sense…

[@ferminplata5308]

That guitar is out of tune.

[@edwardkent]

surely, that was what punk was all about.....we all can, so we all will, no matter how good or bad we are........BTW the guitar is perfectly in tune.....and i'm a professional musician.................dohhhhhh

[@jodzhaariel5430]

Besides, we all know that no instrument is well tuned here in México, ese xd

[@jonascarstensen485]

Mick was out of tune sometimes too so who gives a fuck ^^

[@nc8507]

I can appreciate the effort, but this is a bit of a bastardization of the original in my opinion.

[@pitaensenada]

Que flojera me da esta mujer me quiero dormir 😂

[@jonnyp2703]

This is a travesty, a shocking and naive interpretation that fails to understand or interpret the nuances and basics of the original. The singer seems she would rather not be there or that she is desperate for the toilet. Am sure she is good at what she does but should steer clear of stepping into the unknown. Truly shockingly awful.

[@peloteroification]

This is horrible.

[@RockShowsVynils]

with that last name what would you find nice? nothing lol

I agree, this is a really bad attempt, she has no idea and lacks talent and the credibility to pull it off.
