The Warning performed with Billy Idol during a special event called A Grammy Celebration of Latin Music, which aired on Sunday. The sister trio kicked off the set with the classic Mexican folk song “La Bamba.” Billy Idol then joined them on stage with his guitarist, Steve Stevens. Together, they moved into the upbeat “Twist and Shout,” a song made famous by The Beatles and The Isley Brothers.
Interestingly, “La Bamba” and “Twist and Shout” share a similar chord progression. This mash-up has even been done by Bruce Springsteen in the past. In a preshow interview, The Warning expressed their excitement about blending these two songs. “The mix of these songs and their history is incredible,” they said. “For us, being Mexican, playing ‘La Bamba’ is super, super incredible.”
