Omar Sosa and Peter Apfelbaum, of Quarteto Americanos

Soundcheck | Sep 26, 2022

Cuban-born pianist Omar Sosa has made beautiful records with musicians from West Africa, from all over East Africa, from Spain, where he's lived for many years, and now, with American friends, including sax player Peter Apfelbaum, whom we've heard over the years playing with the Kamikaze Ground Crew, the Millennial Territory Orchestra, and the Hieroglyphics Ensemble, among others. They play duo versions of music from the Quarteto Americanos project, including recorded sounds fired from a sampler pad, that Sosa has put together, in-studio. 

Set list: "umbo kondo", "Move in D", "Mis Tres Notas"
