Eliana Barreto

As part of her Jazz de Demain residency, Eliana returns to her roots, accompanied by Iván Quintero on guitar, as she passionately revisits the timeless repertoire of La Lupe, Buena Vista Social Club, Omara Portuondo, and many other legends of Cuban music.
A unique musical journey, where tradition and modernity meet to celebrate the richness of her heritage.
Born in Venezuela, Eliana Barreto is a singer with a mixed musical background. Eliana discovered music at an early age, when her musician father rocked her to the rhythm of Benny Moré's “Bobo de la yuca”. At an early age, she learned to imitate Edith Piaf and La Lupe, her two heroines. Joining El Teatro del Laberinto at the age of 8, theater and music became inseparable for her. Since 2017, Eliana has been based in France, where she continues her musical training alongside her studies of Hispano-American literature, which she uses to fuel her compositions.
Saudade, poetry and a confluence of contradictory emotions punctuated by jazz, Eliana takes the audience on a complete, synesthetic and felt experience. By blending styles and offering a journey through her different influences, emotion and technique harmonize in timeless performances. 

Launched in 2012, the #JazzDeDemain program has initiated a series of monthly and bimonthly residencies. This framework offers young artists a valuable opportunity to experiment on stage, refine their repertoire and present it to the public. This dynamic and inspiring slot celebrates creativity without borders. #BeCurious!
