Sentir

Omar Sosa is a musician extraordinaire - composer, arranger, improviser, communicator. His Afro-Cuban based mix of jazz and world music is broadly expressive - full of power and passion, sublety 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. With Sentir, his fifth ensemble recording as a leader, Omar Sosa continues to interweave traditional voices and rhythms from Cuba, Morocco, and Venezuela with contemporary jazz harmonies and spoken word to create an exquisite musical tapestry, as well as a message of unity and peace for our planet.
