Omar Sosa (African Tracks)

Composer, pianist, bandleader Omar Sosa’s music reflects his travels: Cuba to Africa and Brazil, Central America to Ecuador’s African-descent communities, San Francisco and New York, to his current home base in Barcelona. True to his Afro-Cuban origins, Sosa expresses a generosity toward all humanity. Nominated for seven Grammy Awards and twice for the BBC World Music Awards, Sosa entwines the expressive traditions of Africa and the Americas in a unique cosmopolitan voice, bringing a joyous and thoroughly contemporary global Jazz idiom.
