The artistry of Cuban composer and pianist Omar Sosa and his quartet are featured, along with pieces from their MULATOS CD. Sosa's approach to the keyboard is an exploration of Cuban/African culture, with a global perspective. In Sosa's pan-African/pan-Latin approach, Orisha music, hip-hop, rumba, Ecuadorian chants, jazz, and Gnawa ritual music combine. Concepts, instruments, grooves, and textures from disparate traditions overlap, blend, and collide with deceptive ease. Sosa recently played at the opening of Carnegie Hall?s new Zankel Hall, where his music was said to have a flair for rhythm and a keen musical wit. The Quartet features: Omar Sosa, piano; with Mino Cinelu, percussion; Geoff Brennan, acoustic bass; and Eric Crystal, saxophones. Sosa's work includes 2002?s GRAMMY-nominated Sentir, and he has received one Latin Grammy, as well. He also received the award for Afro-Caribbean Jazz Album of the Year from the Jazz Journalists Association. Taped at the Latino Arts Auditorium, Milwaukee, WI, in 2005.
