The war on drugs implemented by president Felipe Calderon has supplied Mexico with countless buckets of blood for horrified showers and few strings of sociopolitical progress. Tijuana's rhythmic maverick Ceci Bastida is responsible for framing the single best-crafted soundtrack about Mexico's bruised efforts to afford peace of mind in the narco era. Produced by Diplo and featuring Rye Rye, "Have You Heard?" is bold and touching while staying within the proportions of its pop frame. In this music clip, video director David Herrera succeeds in keeping things intimate, switching the eyeball to the wounding reality of drug dealing as the [...]

"Una muestra maravillosa y fiel de la mística esencia de Cheky" Ulises Hadjis. "El más perfecto balance entre las diversas influencias que estuvieron presentes en Cheky a través de los años. Definitivamente una producción refrescante y pensada" IL Gimón. Suena el El Día Previo y creo que no había mejor canción para empezar que esta. Es la manera en que Cheky presenta La Lucha Constante y le queda perfecto, porque si escuchamos bien la [...]

Ceci Bastida - Canta El Río ( Uproot Andy Outernational Remix) [ mp3 ] Ceci Bastida was nominated for a 2010 Latin GRAMMY Award - Best Alternative Song for Cuando Vuelvas A Caer - her new album Veo La Marea is out today featuring guests like Diplo, XXXChange and Mexican rapper Niña Dioz

Ceci Bastida is putting the final touches on the US release of her brilliant debut LP Veo La Marea , which will be a bit different than the already out Mexican release. Her Latin Grammy nomination for "Cuando Vuelvas A Caer" (Best Alternative Song) was completely unexpected, but very deserving. The FADER premiered a hot new song with Israeli DJ/Producer Sabbo, also part of Soulico (Exotic On The Speaker is still so hot!) The song has a dangerous feel to it, and there's enough steam in it to draw a trip from Tijuana to Tel [...]
