LA SANTA CECILIA New Album ft. Elvis Costello Released Today
By: BWW News Desk Apr. 30, 2013
The young members of La Santa Cecilia are immigrants, the children of immigrants and dreamers. The Los Angeles based band that takes their name from the patron saint of music is the epitome of our new bi-cultural generation-fully immersed in the modern music and art of the country they have called home from their youngest days, while adventurously fusing together a new sound that also pays homage to the rich traditions of their Mexican heritage.
Fronted by the distinctively strong voice of La Marisoul, the often irreverent, but always artistically driven band literally developed their musical style and performance capability from the streets of Los Angeles. The group that started by playing for tourists on the city's famed Olvera street, now has become a leading bi-lingual voice for music fans across the city - with sold-out club dates, a Latin Grammy nomination already to their credit, a creative partnership with the innovative multiple GRAMMY and LATIN GRAMMY winning producer Sebastian Krys, and now a just signed major-label record deal with Universal.
Album highlights are sure to include new single "El Hielo" (ICE) - a powerful narrative inspired by the experiences of their very own families, and millions more in their community that work toward a better future for themselves and their children, while fearing the separation from loved ones that can still happen in an instant. Music fans across cultural and geographic divides are also sure to be drawn to both the captivating soul vocal of "Falling" and "Losing Game"-which finds LSC collaborating with very special guest Elvis Costello.
LA SANTA CECILIA WILL DO IN-STORE LIVE PERFORMANCES & ALBUM SIGNINGS AT:
- MAY 02nd (6:00pm) - AMOEBA MUSIC - 1855 Haight Street, San Francisco, CA
