His music merges a wide range of music from the world and elements of contemporary electronics thanks to its Afro-Cuban roots, with which it creates an urban, fresh and original sound.

For the percussion, Omar has long collaborated with Venezuelan Gustavo Ovalles, fabulous with a hollow bamboo and incredible with the maracas. Ovalles brings the polyrhythmic soul of the African diaspora to concerts, and particularly last night..

"Art is a tool, a way to, perhaps, change everything. This is the belief of Clara Peya, a restless and unclassifiable artist who plays the piano, composes, creates soundtracks, and takes part in theater, circus, and dance performances."

She presented her newest album, Corsé, at the Grec Festival, ​​in the final concert of her tour, and it was amazing!

This was more than a concert, it was a unique show in which, in addition to her musicians, she was accompanied by dancers, a choir, and other special artist performances in a production co-directed with Ariadna Peya, her sister.
