Born in the American Midwest to immigrants from Rwanda and Uganda, vocalist and songwriter Somi draws inspiration from her multicultural background and international travels to create a lush Afro-beat straddling the worlds of jazz, soul, and pop.
With powerful expressiveness and a unique style of melodic storytelling, she is hailed as a modern day Miriam Makeba.
Somi will perform songs from her repertoire, both old and new, joined by guitarist Nir Felder, pianist Toru Dodo, bassist Ben Williams, and drummer Nate Smith.
