Afreecanos brings together musicians from Africa, Cuba, Brazil, and France to celebrate the rich heritage of African music in jazz and Latin music. Omar's approach takes folkloric elements from Africa and the Americas, combines them with his Afro-Cuban roots, and brings them all forward into a contemporary jazz expression. Afreecanos includes a horn section, and features a variety of traditional and modern flute sounds. The recording also features kora, ngoni, guitar-sitar, and a array of folkloric percussion instruments
