Omar Sosa

有的人把Omar Sosa的音樂看作是爆發(fā)的維蘇威火山，而其他人則非常欣賞通過神秘虔誠的咒語表現(xiàn)的那種來自于非洲的音樂風格。在去年春天的法國電臺現(xiàn)場直播中，這2種感覺輪番震撼著聽者，來自古巴的Omar Sosa仿佛是擁有強大和聲和優(yōu)美旋律的復仇女神。精良的唱片制作和日漸的名聲鵲起，這些都促使如呼吸般的微風演變?yōu)榫薮蟮娘L暴：“雞尾酒” Sosa已經(jīng)名揚天下了。除了這些，這次發(fā)展成為四重奏。一名新成員加入了，他就是Luis Depestre，原來的薩克斯演奏者的助手。他并沒有參與專輯中的所有曲目，他的保留曲目在于Anga Diaz的打擊樂部分，這些都非常的奏效。
Omar Sosa的現(xiàn)場演奏是非常令人期待的。你完全可以期待你的耳朵將感受到一個偉大的鋼琴演奏家的精彩表演。當我們親眼看到他的音樂會，看到一個人對鋼琴的豐富感情和癡迷程度如此的生動富有戲劇性甚至會讓我們忘記了音樂家本身的能力。
Multi-instrumentalist Omar Sosa was born on April 10, 1965, in Camaguey, Cuba. At the age of five, Sosa began studying music at the Escuela Provincial de Musica in Camaguey, which led to his intense study of drums and percussion at two other schools during the late '70s/early '80s: Cuba's Escuela Nacional de Musica and Instituto Superior de Arte. Sosa then began to teach percussion to children before he created the group Tributo in 1986, for which Sosa penned and oversaw the material for two of their albums, and toured. This was followed up by Sosa's work with Cuban vocalist Vicente Feliú (1988's Arteporética), the group XL Talla Extra with Cuban vocalist Xiomara Laugart, the jazz fusion outfit Entrenoz, the Afro-Ecuadorian band Koral y Esmeralda, and playing keyboards in the band Koan Fussion. And in the late '90s, Sosa began issuing solo albums: the 1996 solo piano showcase Omar Omar, 1997's ensemble-based Free Roots, 1998's Inside, 1999's Spirit of Roots and Bembon, and 2000's Prietos. In addition, Sosa has also produced recordings for Ricardo Williams, Leo Mass, and Vino y Miel. Two years later, Sosa issued the eccentric jazz album Sentir. It was later nominated for a Latin Grammy Award for Best Latin Jazz Album in fall 2002.
