- To help celebrate the relatively unknown but very close sisterhood between Makeba and Simone, Somi has invited British superstar Laura Mvula as a special guest for the evening. Mvula is an eclectic young musician who has also been compared to the greats and passionately championed by dedicated fans like Prince. American audiences recently heard her at the 2016 Afropunk festival, at Lincoln Center’s American Songbook series, and as part of Angelique Kidjo’s tribute to Makeba at Carnegie Hall. Mvula also demonstrated her deep connection to Nina Simone in the BBC documentary and performance showcase, Nina Simone & Me with Laura Mvula. These great singers will be joined by an ensemble featuring:
pianist Toru Dodo,
bassist Michael Olatuja,
drummer Otis Brown III,
and vocalist Vuyo Sotashe.
Somi and Mvula are both deeply aware of and connected to their musical influences, but like Simone and Makeba, they consistently defy expectations and deliver distinctive songs with incisive and personal messages. They’re a perfect pair for this celebration, and this concert will speak to fans of jazz, blues, R&B, and a wide range of African music first popularized worldwide by Makeba.

All praise to the great Nina Simone for the inspiration
