  • Description

    Co-leaders Omar Sosa and flute player Mark Weinstein offer a thoroughly cosmopolitan outlook rooted in the rhythmic intensity and improvisatory call-and-response spirit of Africa. Artists of Cuban, Haitian, West African (Benin, Ivory Coast), European, African American, and Jewish American heritage share a commitment to the communal, celebratory character that embodies the expressive riches of Mother Africa. Tales From The Earth weaves a narrative that can be read as a journey to the source of the human spirit - with playfulness, celebration, contemplation, historical awareness, compassion, reverence and gratitude.
