ElMar
ElMar is a sweet example of musical multiculturalism.
She mainly plays guitar, ethnic instruments, sings in four languages and covers several styles, such as reggae, jazz, R&B and new age sounds.
Her initial love was classical soul, especially Lou Rawls, Aretha Franklin and the sound of Motown. This inspiration is evident in every genre in which she performs today.
ElMar has the ability to soothe her listeners with soft tones, like Norah Jones, or to raise the roof with the emotional, fiery passion of flamenco rumba melodies. ElMar is also an enthusiastic Yogi and has been an avid practitioner of various styles. At Swara Imagined, ElMar sings the guided instructions in the Cloud Nine videos in English, German, and Spanish.
