The Poetry Project

sinonó

© Jonathan Finlayson

Explosive and wistful, sinonó draws on latin american folk, chamber music, and free improvisation to create a space of crackling aliveness. Described as “middle-of-the-night music” (Dada Strain), the trio features vocalist and composer isabel crespo pardo, cellist Lester St. Louis, and bassist Henry Fraser. Together, they perform crespo's "poemsongs" — pieces built around metaphor and improvisation that shift in performance, but always remain tied to poetry and breath. sinonó has performed at venues such as Roulette Intermedium, The DiMenna Center, and Lincoln Center Atrium, and they released their debut album la espalda y su punto radiante (Subtext Recordings) in Spring 2024. Their sophomore album is in progress! More at @sinono0o
