Item Description
Two tickets to see Somi and the Lagos Music Salon at the Ordway on Friday,
Jan. 27, 2017! Show begins at 7:30 p.m.
In 2011, acclaimed East African vocalist and songwriter Somi decided to move from New York City to Lagos, Nigeria, for 18 months in search of new inspiration. The result: a new album she calls The Lagos Music Salon that landed at #1 on U.S. Jazz Charts. Mostly drawn from her travel experiences, and from her East African heritage, the songs tap into the tropical city’s boastful cosmopolitanism, urgent inspiration, and giant spirit. In this piece, Somi fronts a dynamic all-acoustic chamber-jazz septet while using lush musical arrangements and lyrical poetry to transport listeners through the streets of Lagos while recreating the very “salons” she hosted in Nigerian art galleries throughout her journey.
A full-bodied song cycle and vignettes of spoken word manifest as this deeply personal narrative framed by elements of jazz, soul, and African music, invites audiences to consider both the ordinary and profound realities of Lagos living.
