    Venissa Santí: Cuban jazz and folkloric song: "A knack for making the unexpected so welcome, so understood. A testament to the art of blending old and new."- Rebeca Mauleón. Joanna Pascale: Jazz vocalist: "Stunning, sophisticated and extremely soulful" - Philadelphia Weekly. Venissa Santí inherited her musical passion from her grandfather, Jacobo Ros Capablanca, who had been a composer in Cuba and left her his manuscripts. After moving to Philadelphia from her childhood home of Ithaca, New York to attend the University of the Arts, she asked an accomplished pianist to play his compositions for her and determined to sing his compositions some day. She studied classical and jazz vocal technique, began an intense listening regimen of early Celia Cruz, and has made four trips to Cuba (the first member of her family to return since the revolution) to study ocha (Afro-Cuban religious music) and rumba with master singers in Havana and Matanzas.
