Eljuri creates a sonic reflecting pool. This energizing musician and performer absorbs drops of influence from all over the world – from cultures that she calls her own and others into which she dives to discover their treasures. Her music is sometimes a mirror lake reflecting this generation’s global fusion and sometimes a turbulent sea churning with cultural clashes.

Cecilia Villar Eljuri was born in Guayaquil, Ecuador and raised in New York City. From a young age she was immersed in music and the arts, demonstrating a singular focus for her passion. Sensitive and committed, of Latin blood and heart, she is a passionate singer, accomplished guitarist and award-winning songwriter who has toured all over the U.S., Mexico, South America and debuted in Canada in 2015. Her third studio album will be released in Fall 2016 and features a collection of songs that are fresh and of the times – her times and your times.

Her inspiration: “I continue to look at myself, my journeys passed and my path forward — I’m evolving and embracing it. The themes of my new songs center around stopping injustice and searching for a better way. I’m using my voice and guitar to drive and inspire positive social change.”

We are thrilled to present Eljuri – she is going to rock the Prismatic stage with her global rhythms and universal truths.
