If you’ve never had the pleasure of experiencing that happiness, or the sadness that love brings when your heart is split in two, La Santa Cecilia shows you exactly how that feels, with her new visual album “Amar y Vivir” … “

“On an epic journey to Mexico City, the band from Los Angeles ‘La Santa Cecilia’ recorded the album of their dreams, Amar y Vivir. A wonderfully crafted visual album that pays homage to Mexican and Latin American music through re-imagined versions of classics “- Billboard (Track by Track)


“La Santa Cecilia’s new album: Amar y Vivir, is one of their best … The songs are covers of classical themes that allow the voice of La Marisoul to stand out brilliantly since these delicate ballads are performed at a level of first category. The producer of the album Sebastián Krys, who has won several awards for his work, also elevated his work on this album to a new level. ‘Como Dios Manda’ (written by the band) is a solid and beautiful composition … and starts a very emotional tone that results in a somber song that speaks of a lost love. The instrumentation feels as if it were classic, beautiful and defines through a melody what it feels like when someone is missed. Bravo to La Santa Cecilia for having achieved this kind of work while maintaining a generous schedule of concerts. The visual album was filmed in Mexico, so that additional element makes the extra-special live performances. “-So.Cal Public Radio / KPCC Review Pick
