Duo Bio

Melodious Ceremonia is the international collaborative project of award-winning artists Celloquacious (Keely Mackey-Gonzales) and Eli del Puerto (Elizabeth Marie Berry), merging looping cello, electroacoustic textures, and layered vocals with rhythms and beats, into a transformative and interactive ceremonial concert experience.

​

Transporting their audiences through an interactive experience, the duo’s live performances blend meditative spaciousness with electrifying improvisation, creating a space for grounding, awakening, and deep introspection.

​

Their debut album, Cosmic Task, captures this synergy — a sonic journey rooted in the elements and inspired by ritual, community, and consciousness.
