Ely Guerra will launch a U.S. tour with a Poisson Rouge show
By Nuria Net
The last time Mexican songstress Ely Guerra performed in New York, she ended her set at the Knitting Factory by dropping her mike and acoustic pink guitar and whispering a song a cappella, eventually jumping down to the audience and singing at the top of her lungs, eyes closed, embraced by devoted fans who joined her in a communal chant.
Three years later, Guerra continues to bare her soul in the most independent work of her career. Her new album, “Hombre Invisible” (“Invisible Man”), is the first as her own boss after parting ways with her longtime label, EMI.
The album was nominated last week for two Latin Grammys (Best Alternative Album and Best Album Packaging), and she is kicking off an extensive U.S. tour at (Le) Poisson Rouge on Sept. 24, as a headline act in the seventh annual Celebrate México Now! festival, which starts tomorrow.
