Synopsis

Album Description

EMBALASASA interweaves many subjects dear to Samite?native African fables and their morals, musings on the journey of life, of the experience of grief, of childhood, and of nature. His virtuosic performances (vocals, kalimba and flute) imbue the album with heartfelt emotion that Billboard Magazine noted when it said that ?Samite wraps his warm voice around melodies that seem to rise up off the Ugandan plateau, caressed by his kalimbas and other native instruments.? "Embalasasa" is the name of a colorful lizard, purple, red, blue and yellow, which inhabits Uganda. Beautiful, yet deadly when touched, it is a symbol which Samite uses in this album to typify how AIDS, a deadly disease transmitted through the most beautiful, vibrant and natural act of sex, has come to ravage much of Africa.

Haunting

Barbara Gibbons | 03/26/2007

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Samite's newest effort is filled with poetry, beauty and spirit. Each piece has its own personality; each meets the ear with simple, rhythmic sound that is gentle and yet powerful. I first heard Samite tracks on several Windham Hill collections - all pieces from Stars To Share. Though beautiful, these have an unmistakably Windham Hill quality. Embalasasa, however, captures Samite's natural, indigenous sound. While listening, you can almost envision him sitting in the room, playing his music and telling his stories directly to you. I consider this CD is a treasure, taking me back to African dreams."
