Playing Caminando Voy, a beautiful tunantada by maestro Julio Rosales, next to my painting ñakary, which I worked on as part of my residency at @project14c from July to October. I’m deeply grateful to have had such an incredible space to create, and the opportunity to be inspired by amazing artists during this time. Creating art with @victorsotomayor during these difficult times in the world feels like an immense privilege.In the coming weeks and months, I’ll be sharing the sketches and final paintings I created during this period, as well as some of the beautiful music that Víctor wrote and that we got to perform together. I’m still learning the inflections and phrasing of tunantada saxophonists, it will take time to fully understand and embody this musical language, but I’m grateful for the journey.EspañolInterpretando Caminando Voy, una hermosa tunantada del maestro Julio Rosales, junto a mi pintura ñakary, en la que trabajé como parte de mi residencia en @project14c entre julio y octubre.

Aún estoy aprendiendo las inflexiones y el fraseo característico de los saxofonistas de tunantada; tomará tiempo comprender y encarnar plenamente este lenguaje musical, pero estoy muy agradecida por el camino.#Tunantada #PeruvianMusic #Residency14C #PeruvianJazz #ArtAndMusic #MistiMusicAndEducation by @sofiacarrasco.i

💚I’m very happy to announce the release of my first album, “Alma Escondida”. This project is very personal, as it’s the first time I’ve combined my music with my visual art, creating pieces that connect with my compositions.In this album, we explore the intersection of jazz and Peruvian music, specifically tunantada and Afro-Peruvian rhythms, blending my experience in these traditions in a way that feels true to my voice.The digital and physical album will be available on Bandcamp starting April 4.If this resonates with you, please help us share it. We’d love for it to reach more people. 💚Sofia Carrasco – Tenor saxophone, compositions, arrangements, visual artVíctor Sotomayor @victorsotomayor.musica – Piano, composition, arrangementsRaúl Reyes @cuba_bass – Acoustic bassDaniel Prim @danielprim – DrumsTom Tedesco @tedescostudios – Recording engineerKrystaly Kusakabe @kristaly.12 – Assistant audio engineerLuis Cuadros @luchitocuadros – Audio editingDavid Darlington @davedarlingtonbasshitrecording – Mixing & masteringRicky Alarcón @ricky.alarcon.bnw – PhotographyMarita Chávez @marita.chp – Graphic designWe’re excited to share Alma Escondida by Sofia Carrasco, the first musical production from Misti Music & Education @misti.music.education by @sofiacarrasco.i

A documentary directed by Matthew Ramirez @your_ol_pal_matt and Stella Chang @artbystellachang is currently in production for Stella Chang’s exhibition Fractured Reflections. The film follows studio visits, exhibition planning, and installation processes, while also exploring themes of community, friendship, and mutual support. Through conversations and shared moments, the documentary reflects on how Stella has supported those around her, how others have supported her in return, and how art — particularly Fractured Reflections — creates spaces for people to connect and come together. The completed documentary will premiere as part of the In7 Experimental Video Residency, for which Stella was selected.Photo: From left — Stella Chang, Sofia Carrasco, @sofiacarrasco.i and Ivy Huang, Director of IMUR Gallery.-Fractured ReflectionsSolo Exhibition by Stella Chang @artbystellachangMay 9 – 22, 2026Gallery Hours:Thursday: 3–7 PMFriday: 3–7 PMSaturday: 2–6 PM 67 Greene Street, Jersey City(Located just a short walk from Exchange Place PATH Station)@imur_initiatives by @sofiacarrasco.i
