Santa Cecelia was amazing!!!
This concert was absolutely amazing. We had such a fantastic time. Her music had people dancing in the aisles. She is unforgettable and she sings with such abandon. Memories from the past are brought back to life in my mind and I would definitely go and see her again in concert.

Awesome show!
This was my first time seeing Santa Cecilia and I will see them again when they return. Marisol has an awesome voice and I loved their vibe and interaction with the audience. The venue was small enough for this and afford an intimate setting. Chandler Center for the Arts was a good venue, the ladies bathroom was large enough to accommodate the patrons, the concession was a little lacking (I believe it was probably the bartender - he was not quick enough). I enjoyed the art gallery while waiting for the show to begin. Overall a very nice experience. I will be back for other shows, especially if they are as good as Santa Cecilia!

La Santa Cecilia
A blessing to my ears and tears of joy for me. La Santa Cecilia is unforgettable. I only wish it had lasted longer.
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.
