Dreaming Zenzile, which is based on the life of legendary singer Miriam Makeba, will include a live jazz band playing original music and reinterpretations of Makeba's remarkable catalog. The ancestors are calling - transporting her through the music and fractured memories of her past on a spiritual journey of reconciliation.
As both the musical’s writer and star, Somi Kakoma transports audiences to Makeba's final performance, where she raises the conscience and the consciousness of a people. Somi,
whose jazz music and social consciousness has drawn comparison to Nina Simone, was
nominated for a 2021 GRAMMY Award for Best Jazz Vocal Album and received an NAACP
Image Award for her album, Holy Room: Live At Alte Oper. Her 2017 album, Petite Afrique, also
won a 2018 NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Jazz Album.
