Svarog Posted October 28, 2014 Posted October 28, 2014 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2HSurZyAblk Somi, who was born in Illinois to immigrants from Rwanda and Uganda, recently moved from New York City to Lagos, Nigeria in search of new inspiration and after only 18 months, she had a brand new album completed that bled with passion and reached new musical depths that she’d previously never thought possible. Speaking on the new album and her intent in writing it, Somi recently shared “Some people see me as an African artist and not jazz, while others see me as a jazz artist influenced by Africa. But I’m not focused on genre. My intent is to be honest with the songs and where they take me.”
