Omar Sosa New Afrocuban Quartet at Musical Instrument Museum

About

Omar Sosa is a musician extraordinaire: composer, arranger, pianist, percussionist, improvisatore, communicator. His Afro-Cuban based mix of jazz and world music is broadly expressive – full of power and passion, subtlety and grace. Omar draws from each culture he touches: the energy and storytelling of hip-hop, the free-spirited experimentation of jazz, the heartfelt emotion of an Afro-Ecuadorian choir, the sensuality of popular Cuban music, the hypnotic trance of Gnawa ritual. The result is a modern, urban music with a Latin jazz heart.
