About us

A true symbiosis between two island musicians, the meeting of Omar Sosa's piano and Yilian Cañizares's violin!
Guided by a quest for universalism, she sings in Spanish, Yoruba and sometimes French, while playing the violin virtuoso and icing on the cake, she dances marvellously well...
Omar Sosa, a talented Cuban pianist, devotes all his energy and charisma to bringing cross-fertilisation to the fore, and the two artists pay tribute to their roots and traditions with a project dedicated to water. Omar Sosa & Yilian Cañizares, joined by percussionist Gustavo Ovalles, join forces to deliver a universal message. The songs range from the poignant to the exuberant, expressing the musical chemistry, poetic sensibilities and originality of the artists.

The poetic piano of Omar Sosa, the violin and nostalgic voice of Yilian Cañizares and the magical percussion of Gustavo Ovalles offer sensitive music at the confluence of jazz and Afro-Cuban music. The three musicians evoke their love of their homeland with nostalgia and delicacy. This is generous music whose serene atmospheres exude gentle emotions and a sense of peace and brotherhood.
