Somi

With her sometimes majestic, sometimes mysterious music the polyglot singer Somi steps on an imaginary bridge spanning from Africa to Harlem (her parents come from Ruanda and Uganda, she was born in the USA and lived in Nigeria for some time). Somi has already been compared to Miriam Makeba and Nina Simone. On the one hand Somi is an elemental force, who can make magical music out of every sound. On the other hand she is a political activist, who takes a clear position with songs like "Brown Round Things" or "Black Enough".
