In her most recent project, an exhaustive exploration of the voice as an instrument of texture and expression, Sofía Rei breaks with the established continuity of her work, creating a bold new soundscape that blends South American folk with pop, electronic music and improvisation. During a journey of introspection in Chile's Elqui Valley, Sofía, armed with two backpacks containing recording equipment and her charango, created the nucleus of her new musical adventure: "Umbral" (Threshold). Her unorthodox compositions are built almost exclusively from vocal loops and form part of the "Cinco poemas cínicos" (Five cynical poems) series, in which the singer-songwriter demonstrates her natural penchant for lyricism. Incisive and imaginative, Sofia's poetry responds to heartbreak, disappointment and disappointment with unabashed candor, elegant humor and a strong dose of sarcasm. Produced by world music luminary and long-time collaborator JC Maillard, Umbral brings together some of the most talented musicians on the new international Latin scene.
