Riveting vocalist and composer Somi Kakoma, known simply as “Somi,” is truly a jazz artist for our globally connected times.
The Midwestern daughter of parents who emigrated from Rwanda and Uganda, she found her musical voice traversing cultural bridges between Africa and the US, weaving Afropop, soul, and jazz into her sumptuous, elegant, deeply grooving body of work. A return to her singer-songwriter roots, the music on her latest release was composed in Lagos, Dakar, Paris, and New York, offering a sonic travelogue that weaves deeply personal storytelling with modern jazz and African sensibilities.
“[Her music is] a party and a history lesson, it’s a manifesto and a poem, it’s a call to dance and think at once” (PopMatters).
Somi is at Berkeley's Zellerbach Playhouse, which is located at 2413 Bancroft Way,, Berkeley, 94704.
