Alma Escondida by Sofía Carrasco

Alma Escondida (Hidden Soul) is the first project where I combine music and visual art, creating artwork that connects with my compositions. The project explores the idea of the "soul" as a hidden force within us, which I believe can be accessed through art.

The title "Alma Escondida" represents my search for this hidden soul through my creative process, a journey toward self-understanding and connection with others.

The pieces Danza I and Danza II are paired with 4 charcoal drawings on canva representing dance’s connection to spiritual trance. ¿Dónde Está Mi Alma Escondida? (Where Is My Hidden Soul?) and Vida Pasajera (Temporary Life) are accompanied by 4 drawings that reflect my fascination with the Andean festival “Tunantada”: the use of masks, alcohol, nature, ritual, and feelings of nostalgia and melancholy.

Thank you

Sofia's music is a reflection of her journey through jazz and Peruvian traditions. Formally trained in classical saxophone, she later embraced jazz and the rich rhythms of Andean and Afro-Peruvian music. Her sound blends lyrical improvisation with folk influences, creating a fusion that is both soulful and vibran, a personal exploration of identity and culture through sound.
