Born in Illinois to immigrants from Rwanda and Uganda, acclaimed vocalist, composer, and writer Somi Kakoma has built a career of transatlantic sonicism and storytelling. Her last album Holy Room - Live at Alte Oper with Frankfurt Radio Big Band (Salon Africana 2020) was released shortly after the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic and ultimately earned her a 2021 Grammy nomination for Best Jazz Vocal Album. With that nomination, Somi became the first African woman ever nominated in any of the Grammy® jazz categories. The album also won the 2021 NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Jazz Vocal Album.
