Sonia De Los Santos

Named for the patron saint of music, La Santa Cecilia exemplifies the modern-day creative hybrid of Latin culture, rock, and global music. The group, fronted by singer La Marisoul, who joined Mariachi Herencia on the Hill stage in January 2024, draws inspiration from all over the world, utilizing Pan-American rhythms including cumbia, bossa nova, rumba, bolero, tango, jazz, and klezmer music. Their unique sounds and the experience of their colorful, passionate performances continues to captivate both loyal fans and new listeners, with songs about love, loss, and everyday struggles. This family-friendly concert features opening artist Sonia De Los Santos, who first began singing for audiences of all ages with Dan Zanes and Friends. Her upbeat and uplifting set, with an all-female band, celebrates women who make music in a joyful journey of Latin American rhythms.
