bio

Ekahuil is a mexican cellist and composer based in the netherlands whose style pushes the boundaries of instrumental cello music with a powerful and unique crossover that explores the expressive possibilities of the cello across multiple musical styles, techniques, and traditions.

His music reflects a wide spectrum of influences, creating a sound world that fuses the tradition of classical cello with the strength of metal, rock, and grunge, alongside mexican folk rhythms and meditative, atmospheric soundscapes inspired by ancestral mesoamerican cultures.

Ekahuil crosses the classical, the experimental, and the alternative, positioning himself in a unique territory between world music, metal, and neoclassical traditions, enriched by a multicultural exchange. this gives him a strong stage presence, making him an engaging figure at diverse venues, events, and alternative festivals, ranging from rock and metal gatherings and opening acts to world music events and platforms for innovation and new or alternative music.

Through his performances, he forges a deep connection with audiences, inviting them to dive into the narrative of his compositions and experience an innovative, distinctive approach to cello performance.

Founder of ‘CellOut!’ seeks to connect cello music with communities and public spaces, exploring the intersection between street art/music, urban spaces, society and new cello music.
