Somi

February 21 at 8pm

At Zellerbach Playhouse

Southside, Berkeley

"a party and a history lesson... a call to dance and think at once" (PopMatters)
"the earthy gutsiness of Nina Simone blended with the vocal beauty of Dianne Reeves" (Jazz Times)
No bad seats at Zellerbach Playhouse

Somi's voice carries the weight of two continents. The Rwandan-Ugandan-American vocalist weaves Afropop, soul, and jazz into a sonic travelogue composed across Lagos, Dakar, Paris, and New York: music that moves your feet and your mind in equal measure.
