Levitt National Tour & LACMA Presents La Santa Cecilia On July 22
A Los Angeles treasure, La Santa Cecilia combines elements of cumbia, rock, bolero, bossa nova, jazz, tango, and ranchera into an unmistakable signature style.
Levitt National Tour & LACMA presents La Santa Cecilia on July 22, 2023. They will be part of Levitt LA's 16th season of free summer performances in MacArthur Park where over 60,000 people of all ages and backgrounds gather together to enrich the cultural experience Los Angeles has to offer.
A Los Angeles treasure, La Santa Cecilia combines elements of cumbia, rock, bolero, bossa nova, jazz, tango, and ranchera into an electrifying and unmistakable signature style.
Named after the patron saint of music, La Santa Cecilia is comprised of singer Marisol "La Marisoul" Hernandez, accordionist and requinto player Jose "Pepe" Carlos, bassist Alex Bendaña, and percussionist Miguel "Oso" Ramirez.
Formed 15 years ago, the group quickly began captivating audiences around the world with a soulful, high- energy blend of both Latin and American musical traditions, reflecting its members' bilingual, multicultural identities.
La Santa Cecilia's songs about love, loss and everyday struggles have sparked collaborations with everyone from Los Lobos and Pepe Aguilar to Elvis Costello and Led Zeppelin's John Paul Jones, as well as invitations to record songs for films such as Cantinflas, The Book of Life, and Pixar's Oscar-winning Coco.
