La Santa Cecilia - August 2
Chicano folk-rock meets pan-Latin rhythms
La Santa Cecilia exemplifies the new, modern pan-Latino aesthetic. The Los Angeles-based six-member band creatively combines up-tempo South American rhythms like Cumbia and Bossa Nova with the nostalgic Bolero and passionate Tango, blending in Afro-Cuban percussion, rock and jazz to bring about a mix that defies any particular musical genre.

Cuba. Puerto Rico. Nicaragua. Venezuela. México. The Dominican Republic. Perú. Colombia. And, of course, the United States. These are among the rainbow of nationalities that harmoniously blend together into the mighty ocean of talent that is Orquesta Mar De Ashé.
Led by vocalist La Sirena and directed by trombone virtuoso Mike Daigeau, Orquesta Mar de Ashé presents a delicious, eclectic variety of danceable Salsa, Latin Jazz, Son, Cumbia, Cha Cha, Bachata, Merengue and Bolero.
The talented members of this 12-piece orchestra have played all over the globe for such diverse artists as Stevie Wonder, Dizzy Gillespie, Linda Ronstadt, Diana Ross, Luther Vandross, Doc Severinsen, Mel Tormé, Aretha Franklin and James Brown, to name only a few.
