Omar Sosa Afreecanos Quartet

Friday, APRIL 4 • 8 pm
Spaulding Auditorium
$28 • Dartmouth students $5

Dizzyingly inventive, Cuban-born pianist Omar Sosa creates a genre-bending fusion of Afro-Cuban and world music with a Latin jazz heart. A dynamic improviser and charismatic performer, Sosa combines the joyous experimentation of jazz with the energy of hip-hop, emotional power of Gospel and kinetic sensuality of popular Cuban music. Returning to the Hop with his Afreecanos Quartet—featuring vocals, drums, bass, m'bira (African thumb harp) and African percussion—Sosa is “one of the truly illuminated minds of world jazz” (Billboard).

“A global perspective…In his music concepts, instruments, grooves and textures …overlap, blend and collide with deceptive ease.”
