About
7-time GRAMMY-nominated composer and pianist Omar Sosa has forged a distinctive musical path, fusing an array of jazz, world music, hip-hop, and electronic elements with his AfroCuban roots. Omar Sosa returns to Cape May with his JOG Trio in support of his current CD, JOG, featuring award-winning German trumpet player Joo Kraus, and renowned percussionist Manolo Badrena.
