CultureShift’s Amanda LeClaire spoke with Sosa about the music that’s changed his life for WDET’s series ‘In The Groove.’
Jazz pianist Omar Sosa is celebrated for his unique blend of global sounds with modern electronic elements. But it’s his Afro-Cuban roots that are truly at the heart of his music.
Sosa’s fans have likened his performances to spiritual celebrations, and it’s easy to hear why when he speaks to you.
His infectious hope and optimism for the world are ever-present, even in these difficult times of the pandemic.
It was announced this week that the Grammy-award-winning Cuban pianist will be part of this year’s Detroit Jazz Festival lineup, along with Dee Dee Bridgewater, Herbie Hancock, Gregory Porter and many more artists.
