La Santa Cecilia on NPR's First Listen

Today's Morning Edition is from "Amar Y Vivir," which means "love life." It's the title track from the new album by the Los Angeles-based band La Santa Cecilia.

Their previous records have demonstrated an eclectic mix of influences. This one is a collection of traditional boleros and rancheras recorded live at various historic open air plazas, cantinas and theaters in Mexico City.

The album will be released Friday, but hear the whole thing now on NPR's First Listen page.
