LA SANTA CECILIA IN TOWN!

ROJO AMERICANO SI, ROJO

La Santa Cecilia

Rojo is almost here. 

August 23rd is the day where the benefit concert annually organized by Museo de las Americas is taking place.

In their effort to bring Denver the most representative music of our Latino Culture, this year the event is featuring the trendiest Latino band of the moment. La Santa Cecilia.

For the few of you that have no idea who La Santa Cecilia is, let me update you:

• Recently sign by Universal Latino Label,

• A super cool Mexican-American band from L.A ...that is killing it with their close to the heart music.

• Written and scored by the very talented Pepe Carlos, Alex Bendaña, Miguel Ramirez and the unique Marisoul, 

• Yes you read it right Marisoul, because her voice speaks for her soul.

This Band with their salpicon of influences like Norteño, jazz, blues, boleros and the other 10 musical genres they have mastered. They give thanks to the inspiration of legends like Janice Joplin, Miles Davis, Mercedes Sosa and Led Zeppelin. They are coming to Denver. Yeah!

So my advice is, do not miss this chance to enjoy La Santa Cecilia because the next time you might see this band that close is in your HD TV during the next Grammy’s when they get an award for their last album “Treinta Dias”, which by the way is already NPR Music's 25 Favorite Albums Of The Year (So Far)

This band is on a meteoric rise to success because there are not afraid to speak their minds. They sing about subjects that matter to people like me and you, they support causes that will help future generations to have a better life and they love kids and want to motivate them to be the best they can be.

Besides coming to indulge us all with there music, they will be visiting the East High School in a “Platica” (Little conversation) that will take place at L2 Arts and Culture Center at 4:00 p.m. Students from Metropolitan State University (MSU), Metro Leadership Program and East High School‘s Music department will be part of this journey where the Band members will talk about finding their musical voice within all the genres of world music, and how they developed a quality and distinct modern sound that engages audiences. 

I had the chance to Interview the members of La Santa Cecilia for Viva Colorado (Interview link coming soon) and they are as fascinating as their music. Delightful, simple, mature, generous artists with a long path of success ahead.

If you miss this chance don’t blame me. I will be there :)
