Ramaje

Peruvian Jazz Project

Ramaje is a Peruvian jazz ensemble and one of the main artistic projects of Misti Music & Education, led by its co-founders, saxophonist and composer Sofía Carrasco and pianist and composer Víctor Sotomayor, both originally from Arequipa, Peru, and based in the New York and New Jersey area.

Through original compositions and improvisation, Ramaje explores the intersections of contemporary jazz, Andean music, and Afro-Peruvian traditions, drawing from the rhythms, melodies, and sounds of Peru while embracing the creative freedom of jazz.

Reflecting Misti’s commitment to artistic creation, cultural exchange, and music education, Ramaje connects Peruvian musical traditions with new audiences through live performances, recordings, interdisciplinary collaborations, and educational experiences.

Alma Escondida

Alma Escondida is Sofía Carrasco’s debut album and her first project combining music and visual arts, creating artworks that engage in dialogue with her compositions. The project explores the idea of the soul as a hidden force that can be discovered through art.

The visual works accompanying the album establish connections with pieces such as Danza I, Danza II, ¿Dónde Está Mi Alma Escondida?, and Vida Pasajera, exploring themes of trance, Tunantada, masks, nature, ritual, and melancholy.

Although released under Sofía Carrasco’s name, Alma Escondida also represents the artistic beginnings of Ramaje, whose repertoire continues to include compositions from the album.
