Press

"A performer in full command of her instrument and her powers...her singing seems as effortless as it is varied, as easy as it is virtuosic." - The New York Times

"A superb jazz singer, Somi has lived in various parts of Africa and creates an elegant and highly individualized amalgam of the musics she has loved and the bi-continental experiences that have shaped her life." - NPR

“Im Mittelpunkt des Tribute-Werks stehen aber die fabelhafte Stimme der Sängerin aus Chicago und die authentischen, nie in billigen Crossover-Klischees versinkenden Arrangements. Jazz und Worldmusic, Soul und Afrobeat finden hier perfekt zusammen.”   — Frankfurter Rundschau
