La Santa Cecilia
La Santa Cecilia is an American band based in Los Angeles, California that plays a blend of cumbia, bossa nova, and boleros, among other styles. The group is named after Santa Cecilia, who is the patron saint of musicians.

For their full-length studio album, Treinta Días, the group won a Grammy Award for Best Latin Rock, Urban or Alternative Album in 2014. They were nominated in the same category for their album Buenaventura (Universal Music) in 2017 and for Y Vivir (Universal Music) in 2018. With 6 albums under their belt, La Santa Cecilia released their 7th album, self-titled La Santa Cecilia, on October 18, 2019.
