Description
Born and raised in Cuba, composer and pianist Omar Sosa makes music steeped in the Afro-Cuban tradition. But from that jumping-off point, Sosa stretches his sound way out by including elements of hip-hop, electronica, classical and experimental music. An adept improviser and musical innovator, Sosa is considered one of the greats of contemporary jazz, possessing what Alex Ross of the New Yorker calls "a ferocious flair for rhythm and a keen musical wit."
