I'm trying not to get upset that I won't be able to attend Omar Sosa's free concert next week, March 25, 2009, at the Inter-American Development Bank in Washington, DC.
I stumbled upon Omar's work about a year ago now when I was studying Carribean and Afro-Cuban Jazz rhythmns. Let's just say I was blown away with the way he melds modern world music, jazz, and Western Africa together in one big yummy dessert.
Béla Fleck is on tour again and this time I hope not to miss him. His latest project is "Throw Down Your Heart: Tales From the Acoustic Planet, Vol. 3 - Africa Sessions" which is both music and a documentary film. Fans of Béla Fleck and West African music will not be disappointed.
