Synopsis

Album Description
Samite's early instruction from his Grandfather on the traditional flute instilled in him a great love and talent for the music of his people, the Baganda. Away from his native Uganda, Samite repeatedly turns to music, the sounds of his culture, for a sense of home. Today, Samite looks to children, to their smiles and to the joy that endures despite their suffering all over the world. Children hold our hope for the future, they need a safe and gentle place where they can grow, sing and dance. "Kambu Angels" is a shimmering tribute to a group of young orphaned boys in West Africa being raised in such a place. Like these boys, children everywhere deserve a chance to be a part of creating a more peaceful world. Samite's music today includes other native instrments including the kalimba (finger piano) and his own voice. It is Samite's voice that drives this album, and draws you in. You might find yourself humming his tunes before long!

CD Reviews

Samite is superb
Shonnie Bach | Gloucester Point, VA USA | 08/13/2003
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Kambu Angels is a wonderful combination of mellow treats, sexy rhythms and sweet inspiration. Samite's artistry on this album illuminates a complicated yet gentle, full-of-life Africa; he makes it more than apparent that there are great people on that continent, and he pays tribute. His music is upbeat, soulful, insightful; and often it just provokes you to get up and DANCE DANCE DANCE to the joy of life. This is definitely one of my favorite albums of all time."

"I own all of Samite's CD's and each one of them is worth owning. I've been to his concerts and talked with him afterwards - he is a truly talented and inspirational individual. Kambu Angels is a back to basics approach following "Stars to Shine". It seems to me that Samite was going back to his roots as a child in Ugunda to create music which invokes the feel of his homeland in a very simple and unadorned way. The overall effect is simply beautiful. I can't wait until the warm weather arrives so that I can put it on and enjoy a pleasant summer evening with Kambu Angels on the stereo. Peace, inner calm and serenity are what you will feel if you buy this outstanding album. I realize this might sound like some lame new age cliche, but Samite has a gift to actually evoke these feelings in a true and profound way. So do yourself a favor and buy his music, see him perform, and sit down and talk with him. You will not be disappointed."
His hopes for world peace and prosperity shine through

"Samite is one of the few African artists occasionally listed under 'new age' in cd stores, yet few new age music haters can resist his music: yes, it's gentle - but it moves.

Samite started out as a traditional flute player in Uganda, studied classical Western flute, and added kalimba (aka Mbira) to his arsenal of instruments.
