This 2013, Ely returns to the stage with the CYCLES tour, the same title that reveals the first
DVD of her career, which leads the closure of an important phase of the musician and singer.
CYCLES, Ely’s first visual sampler on stage, was filmed and recorded live during HOMBRE
INVISIBLE’s closing concert tour (Winter 2011) at the iconic Metropolitan Theater in
Mexico City. We can confirm the journey of a respectable and always genuine career in it,
where La Guerra does not only take us through the unique sonic journey of her rock songs,
but she also shares the intimacy of the last color that has drawn her voice: Ely Jazz
(Invisible Man/2011).
Ely closes creative cycles this 2013, but she will return renewed to celebrate her 20 years of
musical resistance and provocation in a unique way.
