Great live recording from the Schlachthof, Bremen (Germany) from 31 October 2000 - Omar Sosa is an award-winning Cuban pianist and composer known for his unique fusion of Afro-Cuban music, jazz, world music and electronic elements - With his virtuoso playing technique and creative approach to music, Omar Sosa has captivated audiences worldwide. If you are looking for a unique and inspiring musical experience, you should definitely listen to the music of Omar Sosa.On 31 October 2000, Cuban jazz pianist Omar Sosa gave an extraordinary concert at Bremen's Schlachthof with a magnificent band, including US rapper and hip-hopper Sub-Z. Sosa's musical work covers an enormous range. Of course, his music is characterized by his musical roots and his Cuban origins, but the basis is formed by Latin Jazz and Afro-Cuban rhythms as well as traditional North African music, which he likes to combine with elements of merengue, salsa, soul, funk, classical music and even hip hop. In other words: Omar Sosa is always exciting, especially live. This was also ensured by the superb backing band that accompanied Omar alongside Sub-Z at this concert from the Bremen Schlachthof: saxophonist Sheldon Brown, bassist Geoff Brennan, percussionist Gustavo Ovalles and drummer Elliott Kavee. Omar has fond memories of the Schlachthof concert: "I must confess that upon listening to this recording, so many beautiful memories came flooding back. Memories of a moment in which each of the musicians in the group defended jazz as a philosophy of freedom. We really had a great time!!!"
