Sofía Rei is set to present “Folk & Futurism” at (le) poisson rouge on Thursday, October 10, 2024. Argentine vocalist, composer, and producer Sofía Rei created “Folk & Futurism” as a follow-up to her critically acclaimed album Umbral (threshold).
This project explores the convergence of traditional Hispanic American folk culture with contemporary genres and digital technologies. It will feature some of the most influential female performers in the global Latin scene: Gaby Moreno (Guatemala/US), Xenia Rubinos (Cuba / Puerto Rico), Daymé Arocena (Cuba), Mireya Ramos (Mexico/Dominican Republic/ Puerto Rico), Charo Bogarín, and Juana Luna (Argentina), along with Sofía and her international band, and producer/co-musical director JC Maillard.
These artists are recognized as cultural trailblazers and have made significant contributions to their communities as advocates, teachers, human rights activists, and cultural ambassadors.
