A Platform for Ethnically and Culturally Inspired Music
About "In The Forest"
Co-leaders Omar Sosa and Senegalese kora master Seckou Keita have crafted a gem of a ‘World-Jazz’recording, exquisitely beautiful, and unique in its mix of piano and kora and other folkloric instruments. As the title suggests, Transparent Water is evocative of translucence and flowing light. It is a deeply spiritual recording, reaching across five continents – a compassionate and captivating artistic dialogue beyond musical category. Featured are traditional Chinese flute player Wu Tong , Venezuelan percussionist Gustavo Ovalles ,
and Japanese koto player Mieko Miyazaki .
Co-produced by Paris-based drummer / producer
Steve Argüelles .
