Omar Sosa: Mulatos
by Chris May
"File under Latin Jazz" reads the message to the retailer on the cover of this adventurous, finely wrought and wholly delightful melange of Cuban jazz, Latin dance grooves, French chanson, North African trance music and European folk. And yes, it is Latin jazz, Jim, but not as we generally know it. Less a conscious, structured world ...
Omar Sosa: Aleatoric EFX: Live Solo Concert - Radio Bremen
by C. Michael Bailey
It may be a bit disingenuous to say that Aleatoric EFX may become the next Köln Concert. Keith Jarrett's 1975 masterpiece could legitimately claim to have given birth to the New Age music genre. By today's standards, the Köln Concert perhaps does not seem so novel. It seems our sensibilities may need to be pushed a ...

After several recorded sessions with large ensembles, hand drumming honcho Adam Rudolph finds himself on a duet recording with Cuban pianist Omar Sosa.

by AAJ Staff
It's almost like the calm after the storm, but if you look carefully there are still whitecaps out there. Pianist Omar Sosa, who emigrated from Cuba eight years ago, launched his American recording career with the somewhat redundantly titled Omar Omar, an adventurous solo outing. His last three records (Bembon, Prietos, and Sentir) were incredibly ambitious ...
Omar Sosa: Ayaguna
by Joel Roberts
Omar Sosa is a fusion artist in the best sense of the word. The virtuosic pianist mixes his Cuban roots with tastes of bebop, free jazz, even hip-hop and electronica, into a strikingly fresh and spicy modern stew that's much more than the sum of its ingredients. Sosa's new duo album with Venezuelan percussionist Gustavo Ovalles ...
Omar Sosa: Sentir
by AAJ Staff
Whatever the title of Omar Sosa's new disc, the theme that runs throughout is Elegguá. For the uninitiated, Elegguá is the gatekeeper, the messenger, the courier, and the spirit of communication. He watches humanity for the Orishas (gods of Santeria), and he's the first to be received by initiates. During ritual musical ceremonies, believers forge a ...
