Omar Sosa
7-time Grammy-nominated Cuban composer, pianist and bandleader Omar Sosa celebrates the debut album with his East Bay-based Latin-world-jazz-groove project Quarteto Americanos, featuring saxophone master Sheldon Brown, drummer extraordinaire Josh Jones, and heavyweight baby bassist Ernesto Mazar Kindelán. The recording, entitled We Are Not The Headliner, captures the very heart of Quarteto Americanos, a sonic universe in which Latin roots converge with the worlds of jazz, classical, and hip-hop. It’s a deeply personal sound built on the art of dialogue – a steady, soulful conversation between friends who share a common bond with complete freedom and humility. It’s a musical landscape both sophisticated and authentically grounded.
