Episode 8: Tijuana Sí!

Punk In Translation

10-03-2022 • 42 mins

Host Ceci Bastida takes a road trip home to what could be the most punk city in the world: Tijuana. That’s where, at age 15, she joined the groundbreaking border band Tijuana No! On this very personal and symbolic journey that marks the end of Punk in Translation: Latinx Origins, Ceci talks to her former bandmate, Latin pop star Julieta Venegas, about that chaotic city that was the setting of their rebellious teen years living by the border, rehearsing in the red light district and going to concerts at Iguana’s, the asylum for American punk bands that’s been called "the greatest, most dangerous venue that ever existed."
