La Santa Cecelia: new song, new tour (and I missed it)

Well, I missed La Santa Cecelia play at the C3 in Guadalajara.  I had tried to pull a group together to see La Marisoul and the LSC band play in my favorite nightclub, but somehow, it just never came together. I was very disappointed when it became evident that schedules just were not going to mesh.  

LSC was on my radio show several times in LA and I talked with La Marisol at the last FIMgdl music convention, so she and the band are people I follow and admire. Not only is their music addictive, but they are always finding ways to make the world a better place.

So, while I kick myself for missing their show,  I have their latest song to console myself with, Los Anos.

Los Anos was released by La Santa Cecilia in late January 2025.  It is a “soft” cumbia with elements of bolero and regional Mexican music. Its theme revolves around a romantic relationship that endures over time, with a nostalgic feel to the composition.  

The song was a prelude to LSC’s Mexican tour, which  I just missed. The song showcases La Santa Cecilia’s ability to blend different musical styles, which has been a characteristic of their work throughout their 17-year career, a long time for a band to stay together.

For those who may not know them, LSC is a band based in Los Angeles, California, that was formed in 2007, and named after Santa Cecilia, the martyred patron saint of musicians. Their music represents a bicultural identity, deeply rooted in their Mexican heritage while embracing contemporary American sounds. La Santa Cecilia has a history of creating music that combines various genres, including cumbia, bolero, bossa nova, and rock, In my humble opinion,  “Los Años”  happily continues this trend of genre-blending.

The core members of La Santa Cecilia are Marisol “La Marisoul” Hernandez (lead vocals), Jose “Pepe” Carlos (accordion and requinto), Miguel “Oso” Ramirez (percussion), and Alex Bendaña (bass). Additional members include Andres Torres (drums) and Marco Sandoval (guitar). La Marisoul, known for her powerful and emotive vocals and swift and funny repartee on stage,  began her musical journey as a child, singing on the streets of Olvera Street in Los Angeles. Pepe Carlos, the band’s accordionist, has a personal connection to the immigrant experience, having crossed the border with his parents at the age of six.

La Santa Cecilia has worked themselves up from the street corners to the heights of the music industry. Their breakthrough came in 2014 when they won a Grammy Award for Best Latin Rock, Urban or Alternative Album for their full-length studio album “Treinta Días”. This success was followed by nominations in the same category for their albums “Buenaventura” in 2017 and “Y Vivir” in 2018. The band has also been nominated for Latin Grammy Awards, including a nomination for their debut single “La Negra” from their first album “Noche y Citas” in 2011.

The last time I saw LSC they were playing at Walt Disney Hall in downtown Los Angeles, and La Marisoul pointed out that a few years earlier they were playing on the street in front of the same hall for tips.  Quite a success story.

The band also uses their platform to advocate for social causes, particularly immigration reform. Their song “El Hielo (ICE)” became an anthem for undocumented immigrants in the United States and was featured in a New York Times article. In 2014, they had the honor of performing at the LULAC luncheon in New York, where La Marisoul sang the national anthem for  First Lady Michelle Obama and over 1,500 Latino leaders.  

La Marisoul became a mother in 2020 and has said in interviews that motherhood has definitely affected her music and her career. Sometimes she takes her daughter on tour and she lets slip that her daughter likes certain songs from their new album, indicating that her child’s tastes may follow her mom’s.  Many fans hope that it also means a second generation of LSC is in the wings.  That would certainly make the world a better place.

His two weekly radio programs, MusicFridayLive! and MusicaFusionLA are heard nationwide and in the UK. He focuses on two music specialties: emerging bands in all genres, and the growing LA-based ALM genre (American Latino Music) that combines rock and rap, blues and jazz and pop with music from Latin America like cumbia, banda, jarocho and mariachi. He also likes to watch his friend drag race.

    This can promote atherosclerosis, which may increase
    the danger of coronary heart illness. A few of our sufferers have experienced insomnia or issue sleeping on anabolic steroids, including Anavar.

    This can persist for the first few weeks of a cycle, and then sleep patterns typically improve.
    Nevertheless, in follow, we discover women experience multiple signs of clinically low
    testosterone ranges following anabolic steroid use. In the
    top, Anavar can be a beneficial device for individuals who
    wish to attain their weight reduction objectives efficiently and safely.

    (4) Nimgaonkar, V. L., Green, A. R., Cowen, P.
    J., Heal, D. J., Grahame-Smith, D. G., &
    Deakin, J. F. Studies on the mechanisms by which clenbuterol, a beta-adrenoceptor agonist,
    enhances 5-HT-mediated behaviour and will increase metabolism of
    5-HT in the brain of the rat. Nonetheless, it isn’t
    accredited by the FDA, so customers ought to concentrate on its potentially damaging
    unwanted effects. Sufferers suffering extra severely from respiratory points may take 4 20-mcg tablets per day.
    Insomnia can be experienced by clenbuterol customers more
    susceptible to an overly lively nervous system, causing hyperactivity (4).

    Tremors are also widespread when taking clenbuterol as a
    result of its larger adrenaline output. High levels of
    CNS stimulation are linked to melancholy due to
    the subsequent come-down impact.
    Many girls, significantly health models, attain stunningly sculpted and outlined physiques
    with simply 5-10 mg day by day. It’s important to observe medical steerage and
    monitor patients closely to optimize the therapeutic benefits
    whereas minimizing potential risks. The army typically doesn’t check for anabolic steroids, as it is typically an costly test.
    Instead, they’re trying to detect other medication used, such as marijuana,
    cocaine, amphetamines, and opiates. Nonetheless, they will test for steroids, especially in circumstances where
    they are known to be rife in a selected unit or if there is one extra reason to suspect somebody of using them.

    We find that if junk meals are consumed throughout a cycle,
    sodium levels will rise, causing water retention. This can inhibit Anavar’s diuretic results, causing the
    muscles to seem more and more clean and scale back muscle definition, striations, and vascularity.

    By modifying DHT, scientists created a steroid with robust muscle-building properties however fewer androgenic
    results. This means Anavar might help increase muscle mass and power without causing important unwanted side effects like hair loss or pimples.

    Girls usually begin a cycle with a day by day dose
    of 20–40 mcg, incrementally growing by 10–20 mcg every 3–4 days.

    This cycle lasts 4-6 weeks, adjusting dosages to maximise fat loss
    while keeping unwanted effects manageable. Dosages can attain as
    a lot as 120–160 mcg per day, nevertheless it’s essential for women to monitor their physical responses and frequently examine blood stress and coronary heart price.
    If your training and food regimen are geared towards exclusively burning fats, then dropping several
    p.c of physique fat is more than achievable over six to eight weeks.

    Anavar is known to be a sensible choice for cutting cycles, as it helps to burn fats while preserving muscle mass.

    Anavar, generally mentioned underneath the generic name Oxandrolone, holds a well-deserved status as one of many mildest anabolic steroids.
    Synthesized initially for medical functions, this drug has claimed a big nook in the
    fitness and bodybuilding industries. Users often utilize it
    to realize a well-chiseled, lean physique and protect muscle mass during extreme
    calorie deficits.
    For occasion, androgen receptor gene variations may alter receptor sensitivity, impacting muscle growth or fats loss.
    Anavar is understood to boost athletic performance
    by promoting strength, speed, and endurance.
    While Anavar is extensively identified for its
    use in sports and health, it additionally has medical functions.

    Nonetheless, it is essential to note that Oxandrolone ought to be
    administered beneath cautious medical supervision to reduce
    potential risks and adverse results. Anavar binds to the Androgen Receptors (ARs) of the
    muscle cells and stimulates protein synthesis, which will increase
    muscle development, lean body mass, and bone mineral density.
    If you’re shopping for anavar for its capacity to
    burn fats and you’re brief on money, a more cost-efficient selection may be clenbuterol.
    You’re additionally less likely to get scammed shopping for clen as it’s a extra frequent drug in comparison with oxandrolone.
    Anavar is typically very costly to purchase, because it’s one of the coveted AAS on the black market.

    Regardless of your degree of experience, we offer an easy
    and reliable technique for getting the required steroid for
    you. Anavar must be taken for 6-8 weeks, whereas
    Winstrol must be taken for 4-6 weeks. Taking both steroid for an prolonged period could cause critical antagonistic
    effects such as liver harm, hair loss, and zits.
    Moreover, excessive take a look at ranges can even result in ‘roid rage’
    in customers who are susceptible to being A-holes. The detectability of this substance
    within the physique can range from three weeks to four months,
    depending on the testing mode. A urine take a look at, for instance, can determine its presence for about three weeks post-use, whereas a hair
    follicle test might detect it for up to four months.
    Some members of the health group are cautious of Cardarine after subjects from
    preclinical security trials developed cancerous tumors (6).
    Nonetheless, this explicit examine lacks adequate reliability to say that Cardarine
    is a extremely carcinogenic agent. Firstly, the bottom dosage
    administered to the rodents was 3–6 occasions larger than the typical dosage taken by
    weightlifters. In consequence, endogenous testosterone ranges
    remain steady, proving PCT unnecessary. Cardarine can also present several health benefits, together with positive results on blood glucose and insulin (2).
