  "Feet crushing plastic
  Moving windows tossing bottles dry
  I can't get past it
  Waste and dust still choking road and sky
  The trees remember days of plenty
  Before rivers cried..."

  Jazz/pop chanteuse Somi wrote this concept album about her time in Nigeria, supplementing her American band with African guest musicians to create what she calls "New African jazz."
