Old Fruitmarket
Please Note: This is a past event.
Joyously transcending the realms of jazz, world and classical music, the multi-award-winning pianist, composer and bandleader Omar Sosa combines deep allegiance to his Afro-Cuban roots with a boundlessly adventurous exploration of African, American and European traditions. He has worked with global music luminaries as diverse as Trilok Gurtu, Jacques Morelenbaum, Miguel ‘Anga’ Diaz, Tim Eriksen and Paolo Fresu, and released 22 albums as a leader. Justly renowned as a thrillingly inspirational live performer, he appears here with regular touring outfit the Afreecanos Quintet, featuring fellow Cuban Leandro Saint-Hill on saxophones, Mozambiquan bassist Childo Tomas, live drum’n’bass pioneer Marque Gilmore and German trumpeter Joo Strauss.
The Lebanese-born, Parisian-based trumpeter Ibrahim Maalouf, who’s worked with the likes of Amadou and Mariam, Sting, Salif Keita and Toumani Diabaté, recently completed a triptych of albums with his new release Diagnostic, extending his creative conversation between Arabic music and jazz, classical, funk, Latin, electronic and even heavy metal sounds.
