Eliana Cuevas and Jeremy Ledbetter are well known in the Canadian musical landscape for the outstanding quality of their work, composing and performing as bandleaders of their own Latin Jazz projects and also as side musicians for some of the best musical acts in Canada. No strangers to performing with each other, Eliana and Jeremy have been performing together in various configurations for over 15 years, including Eliana’s last three albums which earned them two US Independent Music Awards for Best World Music Album and Best World Music Producer in New York, and a Canadian Folk Music Award for Best World Music Album.

Now they have created a new duo project that unveils their musical chemistry in a more intimate way. They feature a unique and very soulful take on Latin American music with a focus on Venezuelan folkloric repertoire. Their music is Jazz-infused, acoustic, and showcases original compositions and some of the most beloved Venezuelan traditional songs. Their performances are playful, adventurous, spontaneous and very moving at times, allowing their audiences to experience a wide range of emotions.
