La Santa Cecilia

This grammy-award winning band from Los Angeles are fresh, exciting and about to make huge waves in the music world. La Santa Cecilia are fantastic songwriters as well as exhilarating performers. Their wonderfully crafted pop songs are given an inspiring twist through La Santa Cecilia's incorporation of pan-African rhythms such as rhumba, boss nova and tango, whilst being sieved through a gauze of rock, soul, R & B and ska. Their incendiary performance at Moliendo Cafe proved exactly why the band have developed a fanatic fan base; their music is heavy on the groove, full of exotic, captivating dance rhythms and lively melodic breaks from the instrumental accompaniment to Gloria Estrada's terrific voice. TIt is latin-pop that is crying out for you to start moving your feet. It is pretty hard to keep those hips stationary when enjoying La Santa Cecilia's enticing tunes. Having signed to Universal, the band have released their debut album in 2013, "Treinta Dias," which was the record that earned them the Grammy-award for "Best Latin Rock, Urban or Alternative Album." Their name is interestingly the patron saint of music, with their success suggesting that someone is certainly looking down upon their music favourably. Their exotic and energetic pop is a joy to listen to and their live performance is equally deserving of attention.
