Ceci Bastida Live in Pasadena

Ceci Bastida is fantastic. She’s been performing since the precocious age of 15, when she hit it big fronting the Mexican punk band Tijuana No (check out this hella ’90s-looking video for their fun hit, “Pobre de Ti”). Later she became keyboardist for the amazing Julieta Venegas, and now she’s started her own solo career with a three-song EP that has quickly become a KCRW favorite. Rudy and I went to see her last month at the Knitting Factory and she gave a flawless performance with the help of the band Volumen Cero backing her up. So we headed up to Pasadena on Sunday when we heard she was performing in the outdoor Pasadena Music Festival, and I shot some video of her performance.

The clip below is a compilation of songs from the show. Click after the cut to see a video of Ceci performing the song “Ya Me Voy” in its entirety. Sorry about the camerawork! I was roughing it handheld, as usual.
