"Somi's 'superbly played, beautifully executed and exquisitely produced' (Jazzwise) tribute to Miriam Makeba, the 'First Lady of African Song', is finally available on double vinyl.
Somi Kakoma is a Grammy-nominated US-based singer, songwriter, playwright and actor of Rwandan and Ugandan descent. Her acclaimed 2022 album, 'Zenzile - The Reimagination Of Miriam Makeba', her seventh overall, is a celebration of the invaluable musical contributions and messages of social justice made by the 'first lady of African song' and features Somi's interpretations of some of Makeba's best known recordings.
A brand new (and newly mastered) double-vinyl format of the album is being finally made available exactly one year after the original CD and digital release on what would have been Makeba's 90th birthday (4th March 2022) - the vinyl release is coinciding with a concert at Fasching in Stockholm on March 7 and a London show at Ronnie Scott's on March 12.
'Supple jazz singing and compassionate social consciousness: they're both serious and seductive.' - The New York Times"

Shipping, Returns & Cancellations
Shipping, Returns & Cancellations
SHIPPING:
We ship Monday through Friday. Orders typically ship within 24-72 hours. Tracking is sent to the email you provide at check out and may take a few days to become active.
Any items ordered with Pre-Orders will be held until they can all ship together. If you need in stock items faster please order them seperately.
RETURNS:
Returns are only accepted on damaged or defective items. Return requests must be made within 7 days of delivery. Please save the original packaging.
If you own a Crosley, Victrola or any other lower end turntable that has no ability to adjust the weight of the tone arm and are experiencing skipping on a new record please try the "Penny Trick". Simply place a penny on the top of the cartidge and it should provide enough weight to resolve your issues. While a great entry to the world of vinyl we do recommend upgrading to a turntable with a tone arm that can be adjusted as this issue will randomly occur. We do not take returns in these cases.
Resellers: If you are buying from us for resale we honestly don't mind. However, please don't panic if something you bought suddenly isn't flipable for more money and then try to return stuff to us because you feel like you made a bad investment choice. Despite our outsized reputation we're a small shop, not amazon. Absorbing these costs adds up on places like ours. Plus a little patience always tends to pay off.
CANCELLATIONS:
Due to an increasing number of payment processors no longer returning transaction fees to sellers on cancelled orders and rising labor costs any orders or pre-orders that need to be cancelled before shipment will be assessed a 5% cancellation/restocking fee on the order total including shipping and any other taxes or fees associated with the order.
Thank you for your understanding.
