“She writes tight, concise songs, sings them distinctively… and plays a razor-sharp guitar… the energy she generates can be positively breathtaking. Cecilia Villar Eljuri is not an artist to be ignored.” –SONGLINES MAGAZINE

“My greatest passion is songwriting. I feel empowered to testify about life today, in our world. I consider myself a conduit to the voices of those I encounter when I travel and tour internationally. My music mirrors the things that resonate in my soul.

I break musical and social boundaries and take risks that stretch my sound beyond where it’s been before. From my unique perspective as a New Yorker, immigrant, Latina, woman, singer, and guitarist I am exploring deeply within my creative self and emerging to reflect the world around me.”
–Cecilia Villar Eljuri

Eljuri is a phenomenal Latina singer-songwriter with a powerful fusion of rock, reggae and world rhythms, soaring guitars and relevant lyrics (Manu Chao and Bob Marley meet Carlos Santana). Her music is a mirror on the global cultural fusion that represents this generation. Eljuri’s stature, musicianship and social engagement allow her to create a unique symbiotic musical bubble with international audiences.

Touted as one of the top Latina guitar players in the world, Eljuri is touring with her power trio in support of her highly acclaimed fifth studio album ‘Reflexión’ throughout 2023/24 in the Americas and Europe.

Eljuri has released five critically acclaimed solo albums: ‘En Paz’ (2008), ‘Fuerte’ (2012), ‘La Lucha’ (2016), ‘Resiste’ (2019) and ‘Reflexión’ (2022). In-depth interviews about her career have been featured on PRI, NPR, Voice of America, NBC Latino, La Jornada, Revista Kuadro, Pacifica Radio, the Women of Rock Documentary. Her songs have won awards from the Billboard Songwriting Contest, the John Lennon International Songwriting Contest and the Independent Music Awards all while charting in the Top Ten on Worldbeat and Latin radio in the US, Canada and Mexico. She has been touring internationally for over a decade.

Eljuri proudly endorses Gibson Guitars, D’Angelico Guitars, JH Audio Custom In-Ear Monitors, Mono Cases, Moody Guitar Straps and S.I.T. Strings.

“Cecilia Villar Eljuri is a triple threat: She's an accomplished songwriter, a great vocalist, and one hell of a guitar player.” –NPR MUSIC
