La Santa Cecilia From Los Angeles New To Me and Very Good!







By Betto Arcos
The group La Santa Cecilia its name from Mexico’s patron saint of musicians, but they’re not really a Mexican band. La Santa Cecilia’s sound is a hybrid mix of music reflecting the city where they live and play — Los Angeles. Their Latin-flavored songs can combine a funky ska beat with a gypsy flavored guitar riff.
Guitarist Gloria Estrada said when the band started playing four years ago, she noticed their music brought together their diverse backgrounds.
“I think all six members have such different influences and we’re all I think really open to everything, so I think it was a nice blend,” Estrada said.
