With Rebirth, Sofia dips into the rich lure of jazz, Indian classical music and the indefinable Portuguese rhythm to stir a new vernacular that is highly personalized. Sofia Hoffmann's voice flows from one genre to the other seamlessly. Producing and performing at her side is the veteran GRAMMY winning arranger and pianist John Beasley, an artist with a venerable career touring with Miles Davis, Freddie Hubbard, Dianne Reeves, Carly Simon, Chaka Khan, AR Rahman, and Steely Dan, to name a few. Beasley wrote the arrangements and played piano and keyboards. The international sitar player, Arjun Verma, son of the late Acharya Roop Verma and disciple of Ali Akbar Khan, is a key piece in the original musical identity of Rebirth.Adding their signature sounds to Rebirth are guest artists Rui Veloso, singer-songwriter and known as “the father of Portuguese rock”, flutist Rão Kyao and Indian sitarist and Grammy nominee Gaurav Mazumdar. Rebirth was conceived during the pandemic – a time of so much uncertainty – which was a reminder to seed new art, nurture diversity, and surrender to expression even more, to reunite the east with the west.
