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 groupâs 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 Carlosâs reedy accordion and Alex Bendanaâs bossa nova basslines. La Santa Cecilia is known for their inventive sound and fun performance style, and theyâre 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 cityâs 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.

The speaker volume was extremely high. I almost left the venue but, things get better when they play acoustic songs. The performance of both bands was very very good. I'll see them again for sure.
This is our second time coming to see la santa cecilia at this place love their performance and also the location it feels good to enjoy the time here Thank you!
The musicianship, vocal prowess and incredible songwriting from this amazing band was on full display. Their music is like a warm fleece jacket for your soul. I would see them every night if possible!!
Fantastic performance--the sound wasn't balanced optimally and the vocalist was overpowered by the instruments and hard to hear at times. Just a small comment for all to enjoy their beautiful music and vocals.
This was an amazing show! La Marisoul is one of the best singers period and I loved their new music! Can't wait to see them again!!!
This was my first time seeing La Santa Cecilia and I was not disappointed disappointed. I danced throughput the shows. đđĽâ¤đśđ¸
From our perch in the VIP section above the stage, we rocked, we laughed, we cried.
We are lucky to witness Santa Cecilia's evolution and House of blues defenetely is a great place to enjoy all the Santa Cecilia's talent.
I was not familiar with La Santa Cecilia. The music and vocals were fabulous. The variety of songs was super. It seems like a fusion of rock, R&B and traditional Mexican music. I cannot wait to see them live again. Truly original!
They are amazing! Fantastic show! Great Musicians and had us dancing in the isles! Love to see them again!
La Santa Cecilia was AMAZING. They sang a great mix from their discography. Hope they come to Seattle again!
They only play one bohemia song and the rest on English I donât recommend i you are thinking they will play bohemia better play them on YouTube
I loved it! Marisol puts her heart into all her songs
I bought our tickets to celebrate my dearest friend's birthday--she loves this group! It was a wonderful evening. The music was touching and uplifting. We traveled from Tucson to Chandler to hear the group and it was worth every mile to see and hear these outstanding musicians.
