Bristol’s Anglo-Brazilian 8 piece band have successfully blended African and Latin influences to create what can only be defined as their own SOMA SOMA sound - where Brazilian percussion underpins Afrobeat bass lines and driving beats support a vintage horn section, that merge together to form a hearty dose of world music fusion. Jorge Ben meets Pat Thomas sort of thing.
SOMA SOMA are a constant presence in the UK festival circuit and are continually selling out shows in support of their 2nd album ‘Agua Viva’.
“It’s like being on holiday” BBC Radio 6 Music
