| Omar Sosa: "Mulatos Remix" Following the success of his recent recording Mulatos, which received a 2006 GRAMMY nomination for Best Latin Jazz Album, a 2006 BBC Radio 3 Award for World Music nomination, and which features the artistry of legendary Cuban reedman Paquito D'Rivera, Ota Records announced the release of an Omar Sosa remix album of material from the award-winning CD. Entitled Mulatos Remix, the album features fresh and funky contributions by Paris-based drummer / producer Doctor L; Brooklyn- based producer / remixer DJ Spinna; live Drum & Bass pioneer / drummer Marque Gilmore; Paris-based drummer and producer Steve Arguelles (who produced the original CD, and whose remixes include some out-takes from the original Mulatos sessions); and, new to the Paris scene, DJ basephunk. The dance-jazz vibe of these remixes features Omar Sosa piano and marimba riffs, funky clarinet riffs, as well as new vocal and flute elements... all enhanced by the cutting edge approaches of our guest remixers. Release date in the U.S. is set for April 11, 2006. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Jazz News :: home page |
