Peter Somuah — Ghanaian jazz trumpeter

Peter Somuah is a Ghanaian trumpeter based in the Netherlands. His music fuses jazz, afrobeat, and highlife into a cosmic and deeply personal sonic universe.

Initially self-taught and later trained at the Rotterdam Conservatory, Somuah has developed a style that synthesizes the influences of Miles Davis and Roy Hargrove with the pulse of Accra's highlife. His career, recognized with accolades such as the Edison Jazz Award and the Erasmus Jazz Award, stands out for a unique ability to navigate between funk, soul, and creative music.

His approach focuses on music as a system for intercultural communication, using the ensemble as a space for organic interaction where vintage jazz technique meets the sensibility of the digital age.
