About the Album
Pianist, composer, and music conceptualist Aruán Ortiz draws inspiration from the mid-20th-century Négritude movement on his striking new solo piano album Créole Renaissance. The recording is Ortiz’s first solo piano outing in eight years and a fascinating musical and intellectual interpretation of the African diaspora.
