Eljuri’s reggae compositions have been dubbed as ‘roots reggae’ by the esteemed musicologist and reggae historian Dermot Hussey. ‘No Puedo Cruzar’ is the latest addition to that list. This song emphasizes the value and importance of patience, respect and tolerance. Eljuri’s inspiration was the ongoing crisis faced by immigrants and asylum seekers trying to come to the United States. In this case, the tide is too high, making a crossing frustrating during a difficult journey. As her lyrics say, ‘I can’t get across. How do I get there? When the tide goes out. I’m lost but, I must be patient. If I can wait, I’ll get there today. When the tide goes out, I can cross.’
“When we’re at a roadblock in life we are presented with a test. Stay hopeful, be patient and eventually the ‘tide’ will go your way.” –Cecilia
Villar Eljuri
The video, created by Alexandra Gatje from Manovill Records, follows in the feel good, vibe video style of Eljuri’s most watched video, ‘Resiste’. It ties together Eljuri’s LIVE stage performance with visual representations of ‘rising tides’ and draws on the Eljuri tour visualizer graphics created by ZCollective. ‘No Puedo Cruzar’ is the fifth single and music video from Eljuri’s album, ‘Reflexíon’.
The rockstar humanitarian launches her 2023 international touring season with her European debut in the Netherlands. Eljuri’s ‘Reflexión’ Record Release concert will be presented at Patronaat in Haarlem. Their new Zoca Flavor series, expands cultural offerings in Haarlem and is named for the Mexican zocalos where communities come together and cultural and creative ideas cross-pollinate. The Eljuri power-trio is honored to be sharing their explosive Latin Rock fusion with this series.
A second more intimate show at Thiemeloods in Nijmegen. This semiacoustic concert will allow for a thrilling afternoon exploring the songs from Eljuri’s album, ‘Reflexión’.
