Newest Release from OMAR SOSA featuring MARQUE GILMORE, Aly Kieta, JEAN PAUL BOURELLY, Luc Nicaise, and MARK WEINSTEIN

TALES FROM THE EARTH (OTA1020) - Release Date: OCT 2009

Tales From The Earth. A thoroughly cosmopolitan outlook rooted in the rhythmic intensity and improvisatory, call-and-response spirit of Africa writ large. Artists of Cuban, Haitian, West African (Bénin, Ivory Coast), European, African American and Jewish American heritage, entering a Berlin studio for two days of intensive recording, without music or a predetermined conception, only a shared commitment to the communal, celebratory character that embodies the expressive riches of Mother Africa.

Tales From The Earth resounds with the Afro-Cuban traditions of OMAR SOSA—best known as a pianist and composer, but here primarily on marimba and vibraphone, which Sosa studied in Cuba’s conservatories before switching to piano. It features the eclectic guitar talents of JEAN PAUL BOURELLY (Miles Davis, Roy Haynes, Elvin Jones, Pharoah Sanders, Cassandra Wilson); the resonant balafon of ALY KIETA’s Ivory Coast; the insistent drum ‘n’ bass sensibilities of MARQUE GILMORE (Roy Ayers, Steve Coleman, Graham Haynes, Toumani Diabate, Vernon Reid, Joe Zawinul, MeShell Ndegeocello, Susheela Raman, Nitin Sawhney, Talvin Singh); the vocal and percussive vitality of AHO LUC NICAISE and MATHIAS AGBOKOU; and the fresh, ever-surprising turns of phrase that each artist invests in this pioneering project.

Recorded at the Blue Note jazz club in New York City, Across The Divide is a song cycle documenting the shared rhythms of Omar Sosa and Tim Eriksen, a New England multi-instrumentalist specializing in native and adopted American musics. The album is a narrative, a tale of musical and spiritual passage, melding and mingling seemingly disparate cultures yet highlighting the musical roots common to us all. Featured within are sampled readings from Langston Hughes, renowned giant of the Harlem Renaissance, whose words add lift to the musical journey.
