About
Sofia Rei recently performed at a Tiny Desk concert, showcasing her unique blend of Argentine music, jazz, and Latin American influences. Known for her jazz-infused vocals and mastery of various musical styles, Rei delivered a captivating performance alongside drummer Franco Pinna and guitarist/bassist JC Maillard. The incorporation of a drum from the Argentine Pampas into the traditional drum set added an authentic touch to the music. Rei, a classically trained mezzo-soprano born and raised in Buenos Aires, has made a name for herself in the music industry with five award-winning albums and collaborations with renowned artists such as John Zorn and Bobby McFerrin. She is also the co-founder of El Colectivo Sur, an arts collective in New York City dedicated to promoting South American music. Rei's Tiny Desk concert provided a glimpse into her exceptional musicianship and genre-bending music, creating an intimate Latin American folk club atmosphere in the NPR Music office.
