In the great melting-pot that is the world’s cultural landscape, Omar Sosa is one of the most iconic musicians. An artist of striking ability, his visionary music is produced in a particularly subtle and coherent way, producing a conception of the world that is both compound and syncretic. His collaboration with Urban Tap (tap dancer Tamango and video artist Jean de Boysson) is an illustration of this.

These brand new creations by Urban Tap draw on a number of different cultures and artistic forms: ancestral traditions and new technology, animism and urban culture, jazz and captivating rhythms, claps and hip hop dance, multimedia stage design, and VJing. The result is a performance full of life and humanity that touches the greater public, no matter their age or background.
