Soma Soma — Yelda

We’re excited to share this stripped-back performance of Yelda with you.

Yelda is track three on our latest album, Nem Toda Flor. The song was inspired by a moment in The Kite Runner, where a character lies awake through the night, waiting for sunrise so he can see his loved one in the morning. Each night becomes Yelda — the winter solstice, stretched in longing.

Recorded in Piers’s music room.
Produced by Soma Soma. by @thesomasoma

Reminiscing on our last gig at @thejamjar_bristol . How nice it was to get back to a venue that has always felt like being a home to us.

Where shall we see you lovely people next?

Hello dear friends and family. We just wanted to share a live performance of ‘Se Eu Fosse Um Cara Sem Amor’ from our latest album ‘Nem Toda Flor’. It is from a special night run by @jazzstroud_ at the beautiful Goods Shed in Stroud when we supported the incredible @cocodospretosoficial . Huge thanks to @jake_calvario for organising it all.

Hope you enjoy.

We can’t wait to welcome Soma Soma @thesomasoma to our End of Summer Dance next week! This time as a 6-piece band they’ll be performing their unique style of Afro-Brazilian music, made up of both Brazilian and British musicians and singing in Brazilian Portuguese.

Driving percussion, vintage horns and hypnotic guitar lines blend Brazilian styles like Samba, smooth Bossa Nova and soulful Arrocha with the vibrancy of African Highlife, Afrobeat and the infectious danceability of Soukous.

Released in November 2025, their 3rd album ‘Nem Toda Flor Floresce O Ano Todo’ is a bold and deeply Brazilian exploration of identity, rhythm, and resilience. It’s a vibrant, genre-blurring record that honours Brazil’s rich musical landscape with African diasporic fusions while remaining unmistakably Soma Soma.

They’ve also received support from many radio stations, including BBC Radio 6 Music, Jazz Fm, KCRW and Worldwide FM.

Catch them on 19th September at Bridge Farm. BYOB! £10 tickets are available in our bio 🌞 by @thesomasoma

We’ve been bubbling away behind the scenes to bring you The End of Summer Dance - a way for us to say a profound Thank You for sticking with us as we were unable to gather in May.

As Autumn draws nearer, this is a chance for the Show of Hands community to dance under open skies and bask in the last of the Summer sun: to fill our cups and our ears with Afro-Brazilian sounds, courtesy of some of our favourite bands and DJs.

We’re bringing new Brownswood signee Samtheman (Brighter Days Family) @samtheman.99 to DJ, alongside a live performance from the genre-defying 6-piece powerhouse Soma Soma @thesomasoma 🥁

And of course, we’ll be joined by our friends and virtuosos Angel Mel @angelmelselector and Drifty @driftygram taking us through the afternoon and into dark.

The party is BYOB, but food and refreshments will also be available for purchase too!

We have a limited number of £10 tickets available via Headfirst and in our bio.

This is an intimate capacity venue, in a very special setting so please don’t hesitate to get tickets 🙌

We’ll be seeing you soon,
