Festival da Jazz: Omar Sosa & Yilian Cañizares

Omar Sosa was born in Cuba in 1965. 28 years later he left his native country and eventually settled in Barcelona. What drives him on, now as before, is the engagement with the African roots of Afro-Caribbean music and Afro-American jazz. On his album «An East African Journey» he draws on the musical impressions he collected during his travels through seven East-African countries (Ethiopia, Burundi, Kenya, Madagascar, Mauritius, Zambia, and Sudan). As a result, unusual musical scales meet dense rhythmic tapestries, catchy melodies and complex structures balance each other in an enchanting way.
