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.

What a joyful evening at the Luckman Fine Arts Complex last Sunday with La Santa Cecilia! We didn't want it to end! The entire ensemble sounded so beautiful, and soul-stirring -- it was truly a night of amazing music that we won't soon forget. Hope to see them again in LA -- sooner than later!!
La Santa Cecilia concert at Cal State LA was outstanding! Marisoul was amazing and every member of the band showed how talented they are. The venue was great--the seating and the acoustics--the parking was easy, and the crowd was totally into it. What a voice she has! Great show!!
Awesome performance 👏 VIP seating at House of Blues is worth it!
La Santa Cecilia put on such a great show, the music selection was great, we all danced . Carlos and Charles were a cool band we’ve never heard of them but the songs hit home. Vivir Quintana was such an amazing surprise, she was the cherry on top, her music is so real and authentic to what is happening in the world. She sings with such passion and her voice 10/10. If you have a chance to see her I highly recommend you do it. All the performers were amazing and all of them under 1 roof is perfection.
The opening bands and Santa Cecilia were all great. Everyone danced all night. The sound was great. I did the VIP lounge which was comfortable and the snacks were delish. Highly recommend the Fox theater and I will be back many more times.
The venue was great! Drinks were excellent! Staff/Security were professional and courteous. I loved the 15minute intervals in between sets! The minus one star was due to Vivir Quintana. I was celebrating the day of the dead. A time to remember loved ones who have passed on. I thought Vivir’s song selections were not appropriate; political and/or incest/woman violence was a bit much.
It was a fantastic event and enjoyed every moment of it.
Made us feel ALL the feels in their performances. So amazing. Las buenas vibras fluían. Las Vos de Mari es única 🖤
This band is phenomenal. They are so sweet to the fans. They make the show feel personally and intimate
