Yahoo! Telemundo Kurfirst/Blackwell Production "Since Cecilia Villar’s last project, the spunky Grupo Fiesta, disbanded, she returned as Eljuri. Applying her catchy, stellar songwriting skills on a solo platform her charm has not been lost, but accentuated." –Derek Beres, Global Beat Fusion ELJURI gives it up at Irving Plaza, NYC as part of the Yahoo! Telemundo Battle of the Bands. La Bruja also performs in the Battle on this kickass night of music. Online votes from Eljuri fans declare Eljuri the winner of the NY Battle of the Bands by 90%. (Check out video of live show and interview here.) MUSICA FRESCA is the next step in musical evolution. The tour represents the many and diverse facets of Latin music emerging across the planet. A term with a wide range of meaning, "Latin" can represent any of the 22 predominantly Spanish-speaking countries in the world, as well as the hundreds of musical forms that have grown out of them. With a rich history of influences, most notably Africa, Portugal, Germany and the United States, as well as homegrown indigenous forms, the countries that denote the term are as varied as the sounds being made. MUSICA FRESCA represents an important slice of future Latin music being created today. Check out www.musicafrescafestival.com
