Ceci Bastida’s Powerful Stories of Movement and Migration
Around the time that the musician Ceci Bastida started working on her album Every Thing Taken Away, she was also volunteering for the Young Center, a non-profit organization that champions the rights of unaccompanied immigrant children in the U.S.
Once a week, Bastida would meet up with different kids in person and help them advocate for themselves. She worked with about five in total, including a girl from Central America and a teenage boy from Somalia.
Bastida, who grew up in Tijuana before moving to Los Angeles, has always been interested in stories of migration and displacement.
Her past projects, such as 2014’s La Edad de la Violencia and 2016’s Sueño, have shone a light on border issues and immigrant rights. Her political work extends even farther back: Bastida’s music career started when she joined the outspoken Mexicanpunk band Tijuana No!
at age 15.
