 Omar Sosa leads the vanguard of a young generation of Cuban musicians who view themselves as being committed just as equally to pop music, Latin jazz or salsa as they are to rap or their African roots. Born in Cuba and meanwhile living in Barcelona following stays in Quito (Ecuador), Ibiza and San Francisco, this composer/pianist has grasped how to offer a mixture of phonic elements from Cuban sounds, jazz, spoken word and World Music that stands absolutely on its own, yet sensually intertwines with Afro-Cuban and Afro-American derivatives.
In addition to solo piano recordings, his extensive work in the meantime includes duo releases with John Santos or Gustavo Ovalles, as well as a "Roots Trilogy", a subtle blend of rhythms, harmonies, voices and instruments scored for a large-scale ensemble.
