Description

Current Segment: Microfundo correspondent Amy Bracken talks with Sofia Rei Koutsovitis of the Afro-Peruvian group Avantrio.

Sofia Rei Koutsovitis likes to sing. I mean really sing. She has since she was a little girl growing up in Buenos Aires. Koutsovitis has developed an interest in Afro-Peruvian rhythms and this is something she is persuing with a percussionist and bassist in their new Avantrio project.

Koutsovitis: "It's a very interesting setting because there is no harmonic instrument - there is no piano or guitar so the quality of the sound of the trio is something very particular and every time we play people get really, really interested by it because you can hear so well each of us doing what we're doing and it's like a very raw sound."

Avantrio is performing in Boston on Wednesday, September 2 at Ryles Jazz Club and in New York on October 6.
