Sofía Rei • LIVESTREAM
Argentinian vocalist, songwriter and producer Sofía Rei fuses the traditional music of her native Buenos Aires with the diverse soundscape of New York City, combining folk, underground punk rock, experimental music, jazz, pop and electronic music into what has been described as a, “wildly eclectic, near hallucinatory international mix” (The New York Times). Her vocal lyricism and auditory world-building through imaginative and meticulously-crafted loops make her an ambassador for folklore and futurism alike.
