El Ceibo
​Music

Founded in 2019 by director and percussionist Patricio Llovet, El Ceibo (pronounced "Elle Seh-ee-boh") is a dynamic Argentinian folk music group that has brought their captivating blend of tradition and innovation to Canadian stages. Featuring an ensemble of guitars, charango, vocals, violin, and percussion (bombo legüero and caja chayera), they seamlessly weave together the rich tapestry of Argentinian musical textures with jazz harmonic and rhythmic explorations and a chamber music approach to performances.

El Ceibo's music is a captivating journey for audiences of all backgrounds. Their self-released EP showcases their distinctive style, propelling them to prominent radio stations like CBC Radio 1 and Jazz FM. This acclaim has translated into performances at prestigious events and venues, including the Toronto Jazz Festival and the Living Arts Centre, where they often share insights into the rich cultural context and history behind their music and instruments.
