Grammy-winning and Latin Grammy-nominated La Santa Cecilia exemplifies the creative hybrid of Latin culture, rock, and world music. The ensemble’s passionate, colorful performances utilize Pan-American rhythms including cumbia, bossa nova, rumba, bolero, tango, jazz, and klezmer music. Named after the patron saint of music, La Santa Cecilia is composed of Jose ‘Pepe’ Carlos (accordion/requinto), Alex Bendaña (bass), Miguel ‘Oso’ Ramirez (percussion), and ‘La Marisoul’ (vocals). With a captivating voice that explores love, loss, and everyday struggles, the band is fully immersed in modern music while always close to Latin American influences and Mexican heritage. “La Santa Cecilia... performances are flawless” (NPR). This performance is appropriate for all ages.
