35:52Now PlayingWe speak with three members of the MexicanAmerican, Grammy Awardwinning band La Santa Cecilia, named after the patron saint of music. The band formed in 2007 in Los Angeles. When they won the Grammy for Best Latin Rock, Urban or Alternative Album in 2014, they dedicated the award to "the more than 11 million undocumented people that live and work really hard in this country and that still need to lead a more dignified life."
La Santa Cecilia performs a number of their songs in the Democracy Now! studio, including "Nunca Más (Never Again)," off their new album "Buenaventura," and their rendition of "Strawberry Fields Forever," a tribute to migrant workers. We also speak with La Santa Cecilia’s lead singer, Marisol "La Marisoul" Hernandez; percussionist, Miguel "Oso" Ramirez; and Jose "Pepe" Carlos, who plays accordion and requinto.
