La Santa Cecilia at Mexican Heritage Plaza

In Music February 23, 2022 by Alec Adams

PATRON SAINT OF MUSIC: La Santa Cecilia is the voice of a new generation.

In a few short years, La Santa Cecilia has gone from playing SoCal coffee shops to becoming “the voice of a new bicultural generation.” The LA-based act is often described as a rock band, but effortlessly pulls in bossa nova, cumbia, rumba and tango into its identity without compromising any part of their sound. Their success since the release of 2013’s Grammy-winning Treinta Días has even led to an appearance on a Disney soundtrack. Their captivating songwriting and silky smooth guitar licks will ensure that the vibes at this year’s San Jose Jazz Winter Fest are in peak form.
