SUMMARY:Sofia Viola
DESCRIPTION:Sofia Viola takes us into her home in Buenos Aires for an intimate acoustic set that highlights the strength of her voice and the brilliance and honesty of her songwriting. Embracing her guitar and her charangón\, Viola’s songs drift from tango to vibrations of the Andes\, from milonga to happy cumbia\, from rock to vallenato\, and from chamamé to blues. \n  \nShe composes songs in which she professes her unconditional love for Latin American folklore in all its dimensions; and in her solo show\, she tells micro-stories that speak of love\, ecology\, junk food\, and universal themes from her perspective. Sofia’s provocative humor leads the audience on a journey to discover the roots of Argentina through the characters and landscapes that inhabit her songs. \n  \n[vc_btn title=”SUBSCRIBE HERE” color=”inverse” align=”center” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fesperanza.salsalabs.org%2Fvlaf2021|||”]
