Soma Soma are an 8-piece band performing their unique style of Afro-brazilian music. Based
in Bristol, UK, Soma Soma are made up of Brazilian and British musicians and sing in Brazilian
Portuguese. The vocal performances are powerful and emotive, conveying the passion of the
music even for those who don’t understand the language.

Driving percussion, vintage horns, and hypnotic guitar lines blend Brazilian styles such as the
rhythmic drive of Samba, the smooth melodies of Bossa Nova, and the soulful sway of Arrocha
with the vibrant energy of African Highlife, the groove of Afrobeat, and the infectious
danceability of Soukous. They take an unorthodox approach to song writing which takes listeners
on an emotional journey, swaying and listening intently to deep psychedelic soundscapes and
dancing ecstatically to authentic Samba.

Their third album ‘Nem Toda Flor Floresce O Ano Todo’ is set for release late Autumn 2025,
and they are wasting no time with the development of their fourth album.
Soma Soma have received international support from BBC Radio 6 Music, Jazz Fm, BBC Intro, KCRW, Worldwide FM, 2SER,TMDQA, Mídia Ninja, Amazing Radio, Radio Alhara and Radio Dio.
