As a musical activist of long standing, Eljuri has her
guitar strings and voice on the pulse of some of the most timely issues echoing
through our communities. With ‘Salva La Tierra,’ the second single off
of her upcoming 5th solo studio album, she
picks up the climate crisis as her rebel cry. Eljuri challenges the listener to
save the planet. ‘Can we learn from adversity? Adopt the perspective of others?
Is there a chance we could return to a better world?’
World rhythms and Eljuri’s trademark power guitars shape this
Latin arena-rock song. The ‘sing-along’ nature of ‘Salva La Tierra’ with Eljuri
leading The Clubhouse Chorus in the climax of the song drives home the gravity
of the crisis. Eljuri’s core rhythm section, Alex Alexander (drums, percussion)
and Winston Roye (bass) set the pulsating groove with a driving piano by Teese
Gohl topped off by the voices of The Clubhouse Chorus. The song was recorded
and mixed by Paul Antonell and Shubham Mondal at The Clubhouse and mastered by
Ted Jensen at Sterling Sound.
“With this song, I hope to raise awareness about climate change.
Everyone can see the terrible changes that the environment is going through. We
are polluting the earth, water and air. One by one we can help. Small voices
can move big companies. This all adds up to real change. Are you with me?” –Cecilia Villar Eljuri.
Eljuri has been called a ‘rockstar humanitarian’
who tours internationally with her stellar band sharing her music and message
of empowerment to audiences such as the Women’s March on NYC in the US, Día
Internacional de la Mujer en el Zocalo in Mexico City, Mexico and the Viva El
Planeta Fest in Bogota, Colombia. The ‘2022 Eljuri Reflexión Tour’ launched in
the Spring of 2022 with shows in her hometown of NYC and is followed by east
coast dates in the US. The Eljuri power trio will tour in Mexico this fall and
is headed to the Netherlands for a first-time showcase in October in advance of
a 2023 Spring tour there. www.eljurimusic.com/tour

video was animated by Anna Raff and produced by Alexandra Gatje, Manovill

together. ‘Salva La Tierra’ is available on all digital platforms.
