Omar Sosa & Seckou Keita

Musical Group

A collaborative project pairing Cuban pianist and composer Omar Sosa with Senegalese kora player Seckou Keita; the duo released the album Transparent Water in 2017.

Omar Sosa (piano) and Seckou Keita (kora) collaborated on Transparent Water (2017). The album features guest musicians mentioned in the review, including Gustavo Ovalles (percussion), Mieko Miyazaki (koto), Mohsin Kahn Kawa (nagadi) and E' Joung-Ju (geomungo). The record blends Afro-Cuban, African, Asian and jazz/blues elements.

The review praises Transparent Water (2017) as a transporting, boundary-crossing world-music album. It highlights Omar Sosa's piano and Seckou Keita's kora as complementary forces and notes the album's global guest musicians. The record is described as a complex, multifaceted sonic journey blending Afro-Cuban, African, Asian and jazz/blues elements.

For:Fans of world music, Afro-Cuban and West African traditions, listeners of jazz-influenced global fusion.

 Sosa's "piano" is not a musical instrument, but a conduit of spiritual awareness, and Keita's "kora" is an elegant declaration of joy.
