The Cuban keyboardist Omar Sosa is one of today's leading folkloric futurists. His latest recording features Tunisian oud master Dhafer Youssef, Anglo-Catalan drummer/turntablelist Steve Arguelles, and German bassist Dieter Ilg. This date is more electronic, midtempo, and, arguably, more accessible than his previous projects. Sosa's rhythmic and reflective pianisms are accented by woodwinds, African, Arabic, and East Indian percussion, and vocal samples which are propelled by Afro-Cubanized jazz grooves. Special guest Paquito D'Rivera's pithy clarinet solos spice up the club-friendly "Ternura," the clave-bhangra beats of "Dos Caminos," and the Nuyorican cha-cha-cha, "Nuevo Manto." If you can't figure out where Asia, Africa ,and America begin or end, that's the point. As Sosa writes in his liner notes, the music is a "meeting of cultures, a crossroads, a fusion of races and traditions." --Eugene Holley, Jr.

***RECOMMENDED***
毎度、トンガッタ音楽を聞かせてくれるオマール・ソーサ。
このアルバムでは、
Dhafer Youssefらマグレブ(今回はチュニジア)との共演。
しかし、思ったほどマグレブ臭はしない。
かといって、典型的なラテンジャズでもない。
まさしくオマール・ソーサの音楽。
いつもなら、聞き終わるとクタクタになってしまうのだが、
今回のMULATOSは聞きやすい。
正直、ビックリ。
個人的には、
Arenio RodriguezとThelonious Monkにささげられた8曲目のL3zeroがいいなぁ。

All that changes with Mulatos. Graced with a deep, dancing melodicism, uncanny rhythmic drive, a fabulous if way unlikely band (Sosa, piano, Fender Rhodes, harmonium, marimba, vibes, tubular bells, percussion, vocals, and samples; Dhafer Youssef (!), oud; Renaud Pion, clarinet, bass clarinet, contrabass clarinet; Deiter Ilg, acoustic bass; Steve Arguelles, drums; Philippe Foch, tabla, bowl; and Azia Arradl, guembri, qarqabas, vocal; with Paquito D'Rivera making an unlikely but thoroughly satisfying appearance on three numbers), state-of-the-art production (courtesy of producer Arguelles, who also produced Youssef's great disc, Digital Prophecy), this album manages to retain all the mystery, diversity (though this time properly contextualized), and even minimalism that has always characterized his best work.
So spectacular is the result that it almost defies belief. How could anyone make a disc at once this listenable and adventurous, this free and rigorous, this bubbly and melancholy, this simple and complex, this ancient and modern? How could anyone get such an unlikely aggregation of musicians to meld so seamlessly? How could such ravishing beauty coexist with such musical virtuosity? I don't know. But it does.
Make no mistake, Sosa has been on a decades-long musical pilgrimage. If some of the aural missives he's sent back from the field have been less than captivating, each has played its part in contributing to the masterful transformation of folkloric materials (culled from the Caribbean, South America, North Africa, Spain, the Middle East, North America, Asia, and Europe) that almost magically, alchemically comes out of one's speakers on Mulatos. It's almost as if everything up till now (except, perhaps, Pictures of Soul and Ayaguna, which I think are unadulterated masterpieces) has been a fascinating though not entirely successful experiment, perhaps analogous to the promising but flawed early work of a writer who later went on to become a world-class novelist.
After having listened to Mulatos scores of times, finding something new and intriguing every hearing, never tiring of its glories, never fearing to put it on out of a fear of being disappointed, always having it deliver, always being swept away by its brilliance, I've come to believe it's certainly the most wonderful music I own, and probably the greatest music I've ever heard.
