Composer, pianist, bandleader Omar Sosa’s music reflects his travels: Cuba to Africa and Brazil, Central America to Ecuador’s African-descent communities, San Francisco and New York, to his current home base in Barcelona. True to his Afro-Cuban origins, Sosa expresses a generosity toward all humanity. Nominated for seven Grammy Awards and twice for the BBC World Music Awards, Sosa entwines the expressive traditions of Africa and the Americas in a unique cosmopolitan voice, bringing a joyous and thoroughly contemporary global Jazz idiom.
Omar Sosa's musical trajectory has taken him from Camagüey and Havana to touring in Angola, the Congo, Ethiopia, and Nicaragua in the '80s; to a sojourn in the African-descent communities of Ecuador in the early '90s; to an extended presence on the San Francisco Bay Area Latin jazz scene. Today, in Barcelona, Sosa is involved in a happy mix of engagements with fellow Jazz musicians from around the world. His career embodies the expansive outlook of a visionary artist who has taken Monk's uncompromising spirit to heart, while working ceaselessly to craft and project a unique, cosmopolitan voice.
We are pleased to have Sosa on our site, and believe his eclectic music would add a dimension of elegance to almost any dramatization or product placement.

Fatiliku means ‘to remember’ in Seckou’s native language, Mandinka. This song was part of Seckou’s childhood, part of the kora repertoire.
