LA SANTA CECILIA IN CONCERT:
Grammy-winning Mexican-American band La Santa Cecilia plays world music with a contemporary edge, treating audiences to a vibrant blend of styles as diverse as cumbia, bossa nova, boleros, reggae, rock, and soul. At the group’s live shows, brightly-dressed lead singer Marisol Hernandez dances along to the bopping rhythm while wowing audiences with her powerful, soulful vocals. In addition to Hernandez, the band's sound is shaped by Jose Carlos’s reedy accordion and Alex Bendana’s bossa nova basslines. La Santa Cecilia is known for their inventive sound and fun performance style, and they’re sure to thrill ticket buyers as they run through marathon sets of powerful originals, Latin standards, and reimagined rock hits.
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
Formed in Los Angeles in 2007, La Santa Cecilia represents the city’s dynamic Latino population with their generation-bridging blend of native music influences and contemporary pop culture references. Named for the patron saint of musicians, the sextet got their start playing neighborhood shows that focused on social issues like immigration and environmental conservation. Favoring a community-oriented approach to making music, the group released their self-titled EP in 2009 with covers that were individually hand-painted by their fans. As their popularity grew La Santa Cecilia released the debut full-length Triente Dias in 2013, which went on to win a Grammy for the Best Latin Rock, Urban or Alternative Album. Within a month of their prestigious win the band released their 2014 follow-up Someday New to widespread critical acclaim. The band continues to play on behalf of social issues in addition to touring in support of their music.
It was a fantastic event and enjoyed every moment of it.

Wife and I had an incredible night. La Santa Cecilia performance was spectacular and very moving. Cozy venue with great seating.
They never fail to please!!! Love them, I see them every chance I get.
They're not enough words that are complimentary and detail the performance that they put on. From the beginning honors to Julio Jaramillo (Ecuadorean) through the music from different genres and times, their mastering of instruments and voice was parallel to their live of performance. We were not able to stay in our seats. Apparently we were not the only ones, many couples got up and started dancing. It was fabulous!
I love La Santa Cecilia, I have been a fan for a few years now. They were amazing! Put on such a great show and they sound exactly like their record. Marisol is a vibe, totally engages the crowd and makes it feel so intimate.
This was my sister and my first time seeing La Santa Cecilia. Everything I’ve heard about them was absolutely true ! They’re an incredibly talented band & I will absolutely attend another one of their concerts again! We had a great time watching live La Santa Cecilia.
