Somi & Metropole Orkest

1/2

Singer Somi is widely admired for her smooth voice, which allows her to sound 'both serious and seductive', according to The New York Times. She was born in America but developed a strong bond with the native land of her parents, who come from Rwanda and Uganda. She mixes her background in jazz with her love for the music of the African continent.
