| Nouveau African Jazz & Soul Vocalist SOMI at Joe's Pub On Monday, October 3rd, 2005, SOMI will return to Joe's Pub to exhale a belly full of stories on life, love, and liberation. Originally from Uganda and Rwanda, SOMI's music gives voice to the post-colonial African experience in the Diaspora with an authentic blend of the contemporary and the traditional. The juxtaposition of her mellifluous voice and the ferociously beautiful acoustic composition of her band creates organic textures that are at once haunting and sweet, subtle and profound. Please join us for an evening of sound and inspiration. somi - vocals; herve samb - guitar; daniel moreno - percussion; george farmer - bass; toru dodo - piano; chanda rule & nicole williams - bkg. vocals This event is part of the Fourth Annual Daniel Pearl Music Days global network of concerts using the universal language of music to diminish hatred, respect differences and reach out in friendship. SOMI joins thousands of musicians in hundreds of concerts and dozens of countries, ringing the world in a musical affirmation of the oneness of mankind. write your comments about the article :: © 2005 Jazz News :: home page |
