Ilé

"Across this entire journey, Sosa works with the same sense of grace and creativity that informs the best of his work. Some artists make it appear that their music is born through hard labor, but Omar Sosa never gives off that impression. He seems to conjure his music out of thin air. He leaves his hard work out of view, choosing only to show and share magical end products like ilé".

"To describe Omar Sosa as an "Afro-Cuban" composer/pianist is like saying James Joyce was an Irish writer. Fixing his point of origin and the traditionthat spawned him doesn't begin to convey the singularity og is art, which, over the course of 22 albums as a leader (and seven Grammy nominations) since 1997, has mixed jazz and Latin rhythms with classical, flamenco, African and Middle Eastern elements to create a continuously surprising hybrid".
