Somi: A night of celebration and joy with music!

“A virtuosic performer in full command of her instrument and powers.”
– The New York Times

Vocalist-composer and actor Somi Kakoma is the daughter of immigrants from
Uganda and Rwanda. Known in the jazz world simply as ‘Somi’, her a
2021 Grammy® nomination for Best Jazz Vocal Album made her the first
African woman ever nominated in any of the Grammy® jazz
categories. Hailed for her story-based songwriting and deeply emotive
live performances, Somi is a recipient of the 2023 Doris Duke Artist Award,
two NAACP Image Awards for Best Vocal Jazz Album, the inaugural Jazz Music
Award for Best Vocal Performance, and the United States Artist
Award. Fresh off the heels of her Tony-nominated Broadway debut, Somi’s
set will be full of fan favorites and a preview of songs from her
forthcoming album.
