5.0 out of 5 stars This albumn woke up a sleeping side of my soul, November 30, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Tunula Eno (Audio CD)

Ive never heard music like this before. The third song on the alubmn, Tunula Eno, fills me with tears and joy everytime I hear it. Samite fills his music with raw, beautiful emotion and has the uncanny ability to remind the listener of the strength and intense beauty that lies within all of us. This albumn touches deeply.

5.0 out of 5 stars Samite's best so far, August 29, 2004

This review is from: Tunula Eno (Audio CD)

In  TUNULA ENO Samite, the flute-playing, Kalimba-plucking singer/songwriter returns with another group of traditional Ugandan and homegrown songs.

 Anyone familiar with Samite's music knows he tends toward mellow, spiritually-uplifting tunes on themes of world peace and understanding, yet they're not sung in English, so the cornball factor never enters into them.

 Songs range from very pretty ballad-style tunes to rhythmic shakers. Occasional piano adds a slight jazz touch without getting in the way or distracting from the somewhat ethereal groove.

 We'd had varying reactions to Samite's music over the years; from loving his first album to thinking he should have kept it simpler on his later releases.

 With TUNULA ENO Samite really pulls it all together: this truly is his best album of songs so far.

 Sad to note, Samite's wife was dying of brain cancer during the making of this album; yet somehow no sense of overwhelming sadness permeates the album: mostly, it's the sound of joy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Puts my soul at rest, September 20, 2004

This review is from: Tunula Eno (Audio CD)

This is an excellent album to ease yourself with at the end of the day, or even wake up to on a bright and sunny Sunday morning. I'm fairly unfamiliar with African music, and this was definitely a great way to begin my exposure. I would strongly suggest this album to anyone who can enjoy soothing music without necessarily understanding the words that are being sung. It is very melodic and peaceful and definitely going to maintain regular rotation in my collection. Also, I caught Samite' live, and if you ever have the opportunity, please take it!
