Facts: Born in the heart of Cuba, in Camagüey, Omar Sosa started out as a percussionist before falling in love with the piano. His music boldly fuses Afro-Cuban roots with jazz, African and Arabic influences, and electronic textures. With six Grammy nominations, Sosa’s performances feel more like spiritual journeys than simple concerts. At Jazz in the Park, he’ll perform in a special collaboration with Romanian trio JazzyBIT.
