About
Composer/pianist Omar Sosa, with six previous Grammy nominations to his credit, has established an international reputation for his exciting brand of Afro-Cuban jazz. His dedication to the folkloric roots of his music, mixed with contemporary harmonic structures and a passionate performing ethic, keeps Sosa in the forefront of today's innovators.
