What:
La Santa Cecilia exemplifies the modern-day creative hybrid. In an era and city in which Latin culture has given birth to many musical fusions, the Los Angeles based six-member band creatively combines up-tempo South American rhythms like cumbia and bossa nova with the nostalgic bolero and passionate tango, blending in afro-cuban percussion with jazzy trumpet tunes to bring about a mix that defies any particular label or musical genre. The band’s sound is accentuated by singer Marisoul’s haunting voice, which delivers its message of love, loss and heartbreak in a strong, sensual and powerful performance that leaves crowds mesmerized and women justified in La Santa’s colorful and fiesta-like live shows.
