Description
Spirit Of The Roots is a celebration of the hybrid African spirituality that developed in Cuba, Ecuador, Brazil and the United States over the past several hundred years. It is a complex blend of many voices of the African Diaspora - in English, Spanish and Yoruba - over a rhythmic base containing many layers of drumming also drawn from these cultures. Sosa absorbs from each culture that touches him - the energy and storytelling of hip-hop, the free-spirited experimentation of jazz, the heartfelt power of an Afro-Ecuadorian choir, and the celebration of sensuality of Cuban popular music.
