Suburban Square Summer Concert Series - featuring Venissa Santi Quintet

Venissa Santi is a skilled musician with a background in Latin Jazz.   Venissa has a unique and  beautiful voice. Her artistry stems from the necessity to express the many influences that have  nourished her spirit as a Cuban American.

In 2008 Venissa won the prestigious Pew Fellowship, for  Folk and Traditional Arts. In 2009, she was signed to Sunnyside Records and released Bienvenida,  which immediately climbed to #3 on radio show host and jazz expert, Bob Parlocha’s list of Top  Ten recordings.

Venissa’s vocals along with her band performs with a Latin flair; however, they can easily adjust  to their style to the audience and can perform straight jazz or more bluesy jazz.
