Event information

Common Ground is delighted to be bringing the legendary Soma Soma to Oxford.

Soma Soma are an 8-piece band from Bristol, UK, who offer an exciting mix of world music styles that can only be described as their own Soma Soma sound.

Driving percussion, vintage horns, and 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 and exciting.

They are able to take traditional rhythms and infuse them with a modern energy that keeps the audience captivated throughout their performances.

One of the most striking aspects of Soma Soma's music is the use of Portuguese lyrics in their songs, which adds an exotic and mysterious element to their sound. Even for those who don't understand the language, the vocal performances are said to be powerful and emotive, conveying the passion and intensity of the music.

Soma Soma is a fantastic live act that will transport you to a new world of afro/brazilian music and spread pure feelings of connection, joy and nostalgia.
