  San Francisco (California), USA - Following the success of his recent
recording
Mulatos (Otá Recors), which
received a 2006 Grammy nomination for Best Latin Jazz Album, a 2006 BBC
Radio 3 Award for World Music nomination, and which features the artistry
of legendary Cuban reedman
Paquito D'Rivera, Otá Records has
announced the release of an
Omar
Sosa remix album of material from the award-winning CD.
Entitled Mulatos Remix (OTA1016), the album features flesh
and funky contributions by Paris-based drummer and producer, Doctor L; Brooklyn-based producer
and remixer, DJ Spinna; live Drum & Bass pioneer and drummer, Marque
Gilmore; Paris-based drummer and producer, Steve Argüelles (who produced
the original CD, and whose remixes include some out-takes from the original
Mulatos sessions); and new to the Paris scene, DJ basephunk.
The dance-jazz vibe of these remixes features Omar Sosa piano and marimba
