Omar Sosa & Yilian Cañizares: Aquas Trio at Royce Hall Price: $29 -
$59 More Information (KPFK 90.7 FM is not responsible for external
websites) “The spiritual, mostly quieter songs [...] come to life
through the exciting mix of styles and the intensity of Sosa’s piano
music and Cañizares’ often improvised violin parts and her smoky
alto voice.” —Doppelpunkt Magazine Cuban pianist Omar Sosa and
violinist-vocalist Yilian Cañizares have come together to
create Aguas Trio, an inventive and engaging mix of the artists’
Afro-Cuban roots, Western classical music and jazz. Featuring
Venezuelan percussionist Gustavo Ovalles, Aguas Trio reflects the
perspectives of two generations of Cuban artists living outside their
homeland, interpreting their roots and traditions in subtle and unique
ways. Their songs range from the poignant to the exuberant and are
expressive of the exceptional musical chemistry, poetic sensibilities
and originality of the artists. Aguas Trio is dedicated to Water, and
especially to Oshun, the Goddess of Love and Mistress of Rivers in the
Lucumí tradition of Yoruba ancestry known in Cuba as Santería—a
spiritual practice important to both artists. As water is synonymous
with life and energy and strength and space, the music is inspired by
the important influences of water—its hidden powers, its infinite
transmutations and its relentless destruction and creation. Venue More
