O’s Notes: This is an earthy fusion collaboration between pianist Omar Sosa and producer/flutist Mark Weinstein. The music has a tribal character with a spirit rooted in Africa and transcribed with heavy doses of percussion. Never overdone, it is a shared experience of the musicians, a worldly crew that coalesce around the music of Africa and Latin America. The resulting fourteen selections are instrumental with vocal chants scattered throughout. They are a source of reflection, the culmination of Weinstein’s efforts to use music as a means of healing and inspiration.
