Happy International Women’s Day. Here at Sofar, we prefer to celebrate women everyday. But in honor of this international day, we’ve put together a collection of some of our absolute favorite performances throughout the years from dynamic Sofar women artists around the world. See the full playlist, followed by a few standouts below.
1. Andra Day – Rise Up | Sofar Los Angeles
Before she was winning Golden Globes, we got the chance to see Andra Day perform this stunning number, “Rise Up”. Doesn’t matter how many times we watch this video, we still get full-on chills from the artist’s powerful voice.
2. Joules the Fox – AVOCADO | Sofar Hamburg
There’s something Joni Mitchell-esque about Joules the Fox’s airy delivery, but the artist is also doing her own thing entirely. She’ll hook you in immediately with that magic loop, turning a solo performance into something kaleidoscopic, right before your eyes.
3. Shilpa Ananth – Decipher | Sofar Dubai
You gotta be patient here, it takes a full minute for the vibe to fully set instrumentally before Shilpa Ananth’s voice almost blooms into existence. You’re gonna feel your shoulders drop by the end of this dreamy tune.
4. Pinqy Ring – En Mi Viejo San Juan | Sofar Chicago
Pinqy Ring brings so much charismatic energy to her performance, bringing the crowd in as part of the song. The educator, MC and all-around artist simultaneously makes us smile and fully blows us away with her talent—watch her Sofar performance and see for yourself.
