Eli about herself:

I grew up in the cuban countryside as a child of a german mother and a cuban father and dreamed of becoming an operasinger.
When i was 9 years old my mother decided to take me to her hometown- Berlin- just before the wall came down.

Here I experienced social changes and different scenes, an atmosphere of artistic freedom and creativity. This city, though it is so different from the latin way of celebrating life in all its aspects, also enchanted me with ist rough and crazy charme.
This was the playground for me to discover Rock, Musical, Funk, Soul and Dub. Later on I followed the call for Latin, Jazz and Improvisation.

I attempted to study cultural science at University but I surrendered to music and to its ways of expressing emotions and touch the hearts of people.
Rotterdam WorldMusic Department Codarts. Here I’m studying Latinjazz.

Un beso,

Eli

In 2007 I began my studies of Jazz and Pop Singing in the ArtEz-Conservatory in Holland. Since then I specialized in Latinmusic, Jazz and Experimental stuff with loopstation and with other musicians.

This summer 09 I changed to the Rotterdam WorldMusic Department of Codarts where I’m studying Latinjazz.

Un beso,

Eli
