04/29/118 Pm, 10 PmBorn and raised in Camaguey, Cuba, Omar Sosa studied percussion for many years at the prestigious Escuela Nacional de Musica in Havana. When he couldn't find his first-choice instrument -- the marimba -- he bagen to focus on the piano, finishing his formal studies in 1984 at the Instituto Superior de Arte, also in Havana. In the late 1980s, having studied everything from Afro-Cuban folkloric traditions to European classical music, Omar began working with two Cuban vocalists -- first Vicente Feliu, and then Xiomara Laugart -- serving as musical director for their touring and recording ensembles.
