Peter Somuah

“Peter Somuah is a gifted jazz trumpeter hailing from Accra, Ghana and currently based in Rotterdam. Somuah, who learned to play by listening endlessly to his trumpet heroes Roy Hargrove and Miles Davis, 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. With this album, that serves as an homage to the tragedies and wonders of this world, he aims to try to get a better understanding of the question: what is our purpose?”
