SOMM Recordings is thrilled to announce African Pianism, a revelatory collection of music by seven African composers. It marks the label’s solo debut of Nigerian-Romanian pianist Rebeca Omordia. First recordings include three haunting Nocturnes and Five Kaleidoscopes for Piano. African Pianism takes its title from Ghanaian J.H. Kwabena Nketia’s set of Twelve Pedagogical Pieces, richly influenced by African percussion music. (Somm)
