Eleanor & Dario
Our Music Is Our Song
Charismatic husband and wife duo Eleanor Dubinsky and Dario Acosta Teich transport audiences to Latin America and around the world with their fresh interpretations of Latin, Jazz, French, and original songs.
​
Eleanor is a USA-born vocalist and multi-instrumentalist whose musical roots are in classical cello. Dario, a virtuoso guitarist, is from Tucumán, Argentina, a South American center of folk music and indigenous culture. Together, the artists inspire with elegant performances transcending genre and geography. Audiences are invited to clap, dance and sing along – all in celebration of the healing power of music.
​
“Eleanor and Dario were one of the absolute hit highlights and discoveries of our JAS June gathering.”
– Jim Horowitz, Director, Jazz Aspen Snowmass
​
“Their music is food for the soul, whether you are 3 years old or 103. Listening to them is like being in a gentle summer rain. And if you feel like you need to “shake your body”, they can get you up and moving! Eleanor and Dario just bring pure JOY!” – Stephen P. Zwolak, University City Children’s Center
