PETER SOMUAH
TRUMPETER
Peter Somuah is a gifted trumpeter who learned to play by listening endlessly to his trumpet heroes Miles Davis, Freddie Hubbard and Roy Hargrove. Somuah stands out with his warm and melancholic sound, as well as the rhythmic prowess reflecting his upbringing surrounded by the music styles native to West Africa. In his compositions, award-winning Somuah explores the boundaries between jazz, funk, soul and traditional Ghanaian music, sprinkled with a hint of electronic music.
