Background information about 'Somni'

When Snarky Puppy joins forces with the prestigious Metropole Orkest, musical magic happens on an orchestral scale. "Somni" represents a breathtaking fusion where the Grammy-winning collective's signature groove-heavy approach meets the sophisticated arrangements of one of Europe's most celebrated orchestras. This isn't just another collaboration – it's a sonic adventure that pushes both ensembles into uncharted territory, creating something entirely fresh while honoring their respective musical DNA.

The eight compositions showcase an extraordinary range of dynamics and emotions, from the hypnotic waves of "Waves Upon Waves" to the introspective journey of "It Stays With You". Each track demonstrates how seamlessly jazz fusion can blend with orchestral grandeur, creating moments of pure transcendence that will leave listeners completely mesmerized. The interplay between Snarky Puppy's rhythmic complexity and Metropole Orkest's lush orchestrations creates a listening experience that's both intellectually stimulating and emotionally powerful.
