{"product_id":"omar-sosa_we-are-not-the-headliner_2026","title":"We Are Not The Headliner","description":"'We Are Not The Headliner' is the debut album of the Latin-world-jazz ensemble based in the Bay Area, Omar Sosa's Quarteto Americanos, featuring master multi-reed player and flutist Sheldon Brown, highly versatile drummer Josh Jones, and heavyweight Cuban bassist Ernesto Mazar Kindelán. The album was recorded in front of a live audience at Studio 9 in North Adams, MA, with post-production at Greg Landau's studio in Alameda, CA. The 11 tracks showcase pieces performed by the group on tour in recent years as well as several new compositions, including Sosa's dynamic and iconic creation, 'Hella Changui'. The album features special contributions from Natascha Atlas (vocals), Guillermo Gómez-Peña (spoken word), Reggie Stephens (spoken word), Tito Leliebre (percussion), as well as Camilo Landau and Kai Lyons (tres). The recording captures the very essence of Quarteto Americanos, a sound universe where Latin roots converge with the realms of jazz, classical, and hip-hop. The result is a deeply personal sound that diverges from mainstream trends and instead expresses a truly unique voice. More than just a collection of songs, the album rests on the art of dialogue... A stable and soulful conversation among friends sharing a common interest and exploring it with total freedom and humility. It is in this creative exchange that the group finds its singular spirit, offering a landscape that is both sophisticated and authentically grounded.","brand":"Omar Sosa","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58499321528664,"sku":null,"price":23712997.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0898\/4943\/0360\/files\/0616444104022.jpg?v=1789684547","url":"https:\/\/vinyles.com\/en-us\/products\/omar-sosa_we-are-not-the-headliner_2026","provider":"Vinyles.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
