By marrying a variety of Latin American rhythms—including Mexican and Colombian cumbia, bossa nova, bolero and tango—with rock, soul and R&B, La Santa Cecilia have created a sound that’s truly pan-American. The LA-based sextet initially reached a larger audience in 2013 with their anti-migra protest hit “Ice el Hielo.” Then, in 2017, they won the Grammy for best Latin Rock Album the same year they appeared on the soundtrack for the Pixar movie Coco. Highlight performers are the fast-picking guitarist Gloria Estrada and immensely talented lead singer Marisol “El Marisoul” Hernandez.
