Omar Sosa & Paolo Fresu: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 лют 2025
- You don't really listen to an Omar Sosa concert so much as experience it. The Cuban-born pianist's overall demeanor exudes a sense of calm and deep reflection, while a spiritual connection to music and his ancestors comes through in his piano playing.
You can hear Sosa draw on more than 100 years of Cuban piano in the recognizable rhythms of his country's music. But in Sosa's hands, it's not all fiery and bombastic; he's most effective when he uses Afro-Cuban tradition as a guide to his distinct, subtle and nuanced approach.
In Paolo Fresu, Sosa has found a sympathetic musical partner. Fresu's work on trumpet and flugelhorn provides a perfect foil for Sosa's introspective intersection of jazz, Afro-Cuban sounds and a chamber-music mentality.
Sosa and Fresu's quietly energetic performance behind Bob Boilen's desk enveloped everyone in attendance like a soft mist. Fresu's use of digital delay never clashed with Sosa' acoustic piano, instead adding another color to the palette; at times, Fresu uses it to add a layer of rhythm with either the ring on his finger or a blowing technique into his horn.
Omar Sosa and Paolo Fresu were as much fun to watch as they were to hear. Watch this Tiny Desk Concert and see for yourself. --FELIX CONTRERAS

Two and a half years ago my wife walked down the isle with this Tiny Desk Concert playing. So beautiful. Now I'm sitting here staring at my newborn son. NPR, thank you so much for this channel. And could you please give my thanks to Omar Sosa & Paolo Fresu?
Martin van Diggele I easily imagine your joy... Now... and Then. Be well.
Tnx myklmusic!
It's been exactly six years today. We played this again and I started crying. It's been so intense since having kids. I now have a daughter too. Wonderfully beautiful and intensely difficult intertwined. These songs are still fitting.

10 years, incredible! Paolo fresu please I wish to come back to Lima, I couldn't go these day that you play your beautiful music in my country Peru!

Fresu N1
Io posso commentare pero non parlo italiano bene, ma faccio quello che posso!
Fresu riesce ,dopo pochi minuti di ascolto, a scatenarmi un episodio di panico, e cerco disperatamente l'uscita della sala......
@@spadiu ciao buon rientro a casa
Ieri sera...guidando...mi sono dovuto fermare...non riuscivo a trattenere le lacrime....MERAVIGLIOSI
Bliss. Equilibrium. Tranquility. Love. Humility. Kindness. Grace. Peace. Beauty. Sunshine. Sunrise. Dawn. A new day. 🤸🏽♂️🌞🫶🏼🖖🏼✌🏽
This piece of work is my ringtone! So every time I hear it I forget to answer my phone because I love this piece! Majestic! Cheers!
Going to their live performance was one of the most amazing experiences. I honestly fell into a trance-like state 💕
hello my name is josh mark i bring you good news
Son las 7:00 y escucho a estos genios musicales y no me agacho ante los anglosaxones. Cubano e Italiano Viva.
that is a espiritual sound journey direct to the soul... missing words to describe , Omar and Paolo perfect sintonia !!
This shall forever live in Me 🇿🇦
This concert carried me over dark pandemic times. Every time when the repetion of other youtube ,spotify and whatever stuff started boring me i came back to this tiny desk event. It‘s always new,fresh and all thinkable emotions. Simply perfect, but everytime you hear it you find new wonderful details. I saw Paolo twice in a life Performance. Unfortunately never with Omar. Hope i will have a carbondioxide saving opportunity in germany in the near future. Thank you and keep on keeping on.
This came up on You Tube from a mix based on Elvis Costello song "Shipbuilding". I guess it came here because of Chet Baker solo in the song. In any case, this is new to me and absolutely wonderful.
SUBLIME !!!!!
MAGISTRAL !!!!
Música para tocarse el Alma !! 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏✨✨✨
Ambos se " comen" literalmente los instrumentos !!! ( monstruos!!!!)
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🐞
I haven’t enjoyed Omar Sosa’s other collaborations as much as I enjoy his playing Paolo Fresu;it always evokes wonderful emotions which I can’t quite describe.
Es lindo ver que la carrera de Omar ha seguido su curso. Gran abrazo
Ahhh ...Omar Sosa & Paulo Fresu great performance taking us to undiscovered places within in a buoyant conversation 🙏🏻 💚💛🧡

sensazioni che vorresti non avessero mai fine...tanto è il piacere! Grazie Omar e Paolo
So much presence, so much inspiration!
Did I hear Grazing in the Grass? Love you Omar. Love you Hugh.
Wonderful!!! Very beautiful and inspiring music.
Wow. Sono stato rapito in un mondo fatato dolce e ritmico dove le pure e gli affanni sono un lontano ricordo. Quale potere magico può fare questo?
Io non vedo colore, non vedo latitudine, non vedo orgoglio, vedo solo la bellezza, perchè questa è musica che si vede, è musica che dolcemente taglia la carne del cuore e ci si infila dentro e non ne esce più, è acqua di mediterraneo che attraversa le colonne d' Ercole e di mescola all'Oceano, è mistura, è bellezza, è un NOI.
Love the little look/grin he gives the camera when he starts a guajira sort of thing around 4:14.
SO SMOOTH ,RELAXING ..
... BEAUTIFUL 💯% +
Great to see a piano behind the Tiny Desk! Wonderful music. Great video description, by the way. It's nice to see UA-cam videos with such well written descriptions.
