Omar Sosa

有的人把Omar Sosa的音樂(lè)看作是爆發(fā)的維蘇威火山，而其他人則非常欣賞通過(guò)神秘虔誠(chéng)的咒語(yǔ)表現(xiàn)的那種來(lái)自于非洲的音樂(lè)風(fēng)格。在去年春天的法國(guó)電臺(tái)現(xiàn)場(chǎng)直播中，這2種感覺輪番震撼著聽者，來(lái)自古巴的Omar Sosa仿佛是擁有強(qiáng)大和聲和優(yōu)美旋律的復(fù)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(fēng)演變?yōu)榫薮蟮娘L(fēng)暴：“雞尾酒” Sosa已經(jīng)名揚(yáng)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(lái)的薩克斯演奏者的助手。他并沒(méi)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(lè)部分，這些都非常的奏效。

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.
