La Cita is Chris Mendez and Matt Stokke, two Mexican-American songwriter-musicians from Southern California who use the Internet to collaborate with and showcase world-class talent. Their debut EP, Sunsets, features raw, honest songs about love set to a new, laid-back sound they call Bossicana — a blend of Bossa Nova, Americana and Vocal Jazz. Inspired by the legendary downtown L.A. dive bar of the same name, La Cita "hosts" guest musicians from all over the world — only instead of recording them live in the same studio, they record from all over the world via online collaboration. The resulting tracks have remarkable synergy and a clean, crisp yet classic sound. From producers and songwriters to guest vocalists and jazz instrumentalists, each guest musician on Sunsets adds a diverse layer, transforming the album into a cultural layer cake of jazzy goodness, perfect for a relaxing night under the stars. Matt performs lead vocals and Chris plays guitar on slow, jazzy ballads and dance
