  • Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    GRAMMY Award-nominated Latinx artist Sofia Rei is an ever-traveler perpetually seeking new expressions for her innate gift as a vocalist and songwriter. Produced by JC Maillard (Angelique Kidjo, Richard Bona), Rei’s latest recording, UMBRAL (Cascabelera Records; Release Date: June 4, 2021), takes her deep into the mountains of the Elqui Valley in Chile to capture intimate portrayals of a woman fighting for her place in the world. Rei set off on a solo trek across the rugged Eastern Chilean terrain with two backpacks of recording gear, and a mind overflowing with the complexities of modern life. UMBRAL results in a masterpiece steeped in folkloric tradition and digital futurism.

    Rei set off on her travels to the Elqui Province with a charango in hand ready for an uninhibited excursion to record unorthodox vocal sketches in the form of loops based on a series “Cinco Poemas Cínicos” (“Five Cynical Poems”). Incisive and imaginative, Rei’s poetry responds to heartbreak, deception, and disappointment with unrestrained candor. Her self-sufficient compositions originate from a vocal layering structure allowing each work to stand on its own.

lyrics

ESCARABAJO DIGITAL

Ceros y unos
El escarabajo digital
La curva imposible, la guarda discreta

Conversaciones
Que no encuentran ninguna dirección
Pasado pisado, presente imperfecto

Pelusa de telar, naranja y negra
De ceros y unos
Humo en la piedra
Y más leña al fuego

Barajar y dar el dedo en la tecla
el dedo en la tecla
Con el fin de dar el dedo en la tecla
Librarse del miedo

Barajar y dar el dedo en la tecla
Con el fin de dar el dedo en la tecla
Salir del enredo

Ensayo y error
Recetas para el dolor
Lavanda y pino
Claveles del aire

Herencia de otros tiempos
Difícil cambiar la ecuación
La sílaba equivocada del poema

Pelusa de telar naranja y negra
De ceros y unos

Humo en la piedra
Y más leña al fuego

Barajar y dar el dedo en la tecla
el dedo en la tecla
Con el fin de dar el dedo en la tecla
Librarse del miedo

Barajar y dar el dedo en la tecla
Con el fin de dar el dedo en la tecla
Salir del enredo
