View read count
On Monday, February 13th, 2006, SOMI will return to the legendary Blue Note 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. For more info on SOMI please go to www.somisunshine.com
