Some Video Clips

I was watching this Julieta Venegas video clip and was surprised to see Anita Tijoux of Makiza making a cameo, que padre! Don’t know who that is? Check out the clip below.

I love her rapping style and especially that indigena accent, it’s damn seductive. And the lyrics to this song are quite powerful as well, surely relevant to the Chicano experience:

¡Ay! Comadre Lola, si usted supiera
lo que es estar dividida, no saber cual es tu tierra

Y no juego a la gringa si eso tu creí
Nunca nieges donde tu provengas

Y si tengo sangre indígena, mejor, porque es hermosa
Soy una trotamundo, sin fijo rumbo me fundo
Al lugar donde yo tumbo ¡Así es mi mundo!
Soy del norte, del sur, del oeste, del este
Una viajera sin paradero, sin nombre, sin carné

Sé hacer el camino al andar, caminante
Por eso no tengo bandera representante
Da lo mismo mi nombre, lo importante es lo que siento

Cuando me preguntan cual sector yo represento
Respondo que en verdad, yo no entiendo
El sentimiento de estar ligado a un barrio
Al contrario hay que salir de él para no ser marginado
Yo soy ciudadano de la planeta Tierra
Ser humano que no cree en las fronteras

And in related news, Ceci Bastida has moved on from being a part of Julieta’s band and is giving it a go on her own. They were both at times members of Tijuana No! and the video clip above is one of my favorites.

Though my favorite song is still Spanish Bombs.

    If you like her music, I will assume you know Laura Pausini, for those who don’t.
