"Have you heard," the latest from LA-based, Tijuana-born artist Ceci Bastida (web, Amazon). "Narco, Narco, have you heard? Drugs and money gonna kill the world. Dollar's green and border's red, why so many gotta end up dead?"

Ceci, from an interview earlier this year:

"The so-called war against drugs in Mexico, the situation is not improving. Affects me and my family, people I know and the country I love. This is a topic I have to incorporate into my music. I believe the president's strategy is not working yet, and the numbers confirm it. It's time to support another form of dialogue."
