On July 30, Grammy-nominated vocalist and songwriter Somi will release her new album, Zenzile: The Reimagination of Miriam Makeba, a celebration of the late Makeba’s invaluable musical contributions and messages of social justice. The album, which will be released on the artist’s Salon Africana label, features Somi’s renditions of Makeba’s best known songs—both Makeba’s own compositions and covers— starting with the single “Pata Pata,” Makeba’s infectious dance track and worldwide 1967 hit.
