SOMI
Singing in English and three East African languages, Somi’s vocal delivery is subtle yet the power she exerts is enormous. A charismatic singer and songwriter, she is often compared to the likes of Miriam Makeba, Sarah Vaughn and Cassandra Wilson. Her latest album, If The Rains Come First, portrays a stunning collection of self-penned story-based songs, encouraging us to open up to life’s blessings and challenges in the way that we accept the rain and all that it brings. JazzTimes magazine describes her live performance as “the earthy gutsiness of Nina Simone blended with the vocal beauty of Dianne Reeves” and Billboard calls it “all elegance and awe…utterly captivating.”
