5.0 out of 5 stars

This review is from: Embalasasa (Audio CD)
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.

Have had this CD since it was first released, and Samite is a good artist for a light, African sound. He has a very expressive voice, and his songs are melodic. He gives a synopsis for each song. This was my first Samite CD.
There is plenty of African rythm on this CD and soft music too. My kids even like this CD, and I will continue to be a Samite fan and have since purchased more of his music.
