El Sol De Santa Cruz

In 2006, Mark Rosenberg was deeply immersed in Latin music at Cabrillo College, seeking to transition from academic music composition to creating vibrant, danceable rhythms. He formed a Latin Jazz ensemble with local Cabrillo musicians, though it was short-lived. Undeterred, Mark continued performing at Cabrillo and, following the departure of music instructor and Latin music advocate Michael Strunk, went all in. Driven by a passion for music that moves dancers, he founded El Sol de Santa Cruz. After a timeless journey, with the immense talent of his current musicians, Mark now has more music than he can play, fueling unforgettable dance nights.
