Presto Music Classical Podcast, Episode 53: Rebeca Omordia talks African Pianism

African pianist Rebeca Omordia leaning on the rim of her grand piano, in a blue dressPianist Rebeca Omordia recently released her second album of African piano music, African Pianism Volume 2, bringing the classical music of composers including Koapeng, Benabdeljalil and Dada the attention it deserves. I had the pleasure of chatting with her to find out more about the music, its background, the qualities that make it uniquely African, and common ground with Western, and particularly English, music. I also enjoyed hearing more about this award-winning pianist’s career and her fruitful relationship with SOMM Recordings.

A new release with soprano Omo Bello, due on 18th October 2024, moves the focus to African Art Song.
