Bristol Jazz Club @ The Architect

Welcome to Bristol Jazz Club.

Experience the unique new world of Soma Soma & immerse yourself in their infectious & joyous mix of modern Afro/Brazilian sounds.

“WOW!” Gilles Peterson, BBC Radio 6 Music

Driving percussion, vintage horns, & hypnotic guitar lines work together to seamlessly blend Brazilian styles (Samba/Bossa Nova/Arrocha) with African (Highlife/Afrobeat/Soukous) genres to create something completely new & exciting. They are able to take traditional rhythms & infuse them with a modern energy that keeps the audience captivated throughout their performances.

“It’s like being on holiday” BBC Radio

One of the most striking aspects of Soma Soma’s music is the use of Portuguese lyrics in their songs, which adds an exotic & mysterious element to their sound. The vocal performances are powerful & intense.

“…a combination of Brazilian percussion & Afrobeat brass lines that is hard to find elsewhere” Tigre Sounds
