Poema

Poema is two teenage sisters from Albuquerque, Elle and Shealeen. They write and perform their acoustic/pop songs that range from serious to silly, from being in love to changing the world. Elle is the bands captivating lead vocalist and acoustic guitar player. She sings and plays with dynamic that is stunning for a girl of just 17. Nineteen year old Shealeen sweetens the music with her tasteful harmonies, classical piano playing, and subtle lead vocals.
