Somi

Lover of Sound, Word, Africa & Freedom

[Somi @somimusic]

Never ever in this journey have I been as moved by an audience as I was on Sunday night. I was told the literal translation of this chant is “This Somi - those who know her have never seen her until now.” It is a struggle song once offered to beloved political leaders.
