Customer Reviews:

3 out of 5 stars Not World Music.......2004-04-21

Eh, it's OK I guess. A pretty new age album that I would play if I ran a day care center.

Samite strays farther and farther from his roots. If you are lookiing for the african touch, you won't find it here, but you will find typical Windham Hill tinkly piano et. al. that you'd expect from that label.

5 out of 5 stars pretty sounds to share.......2002-11-05

At first listen this pretty and soul enriching album is soothing and filled with lullabies. But each time I play Samite's Stars to Share I discover new sounds and complexities. For a listenner addicted to the raw guitar sounds of Mali (for example Habib Koite and the regal Ali Farka Toure) this more polished "Windam Hill," Africa-Merican album, (by a Ugandan who now calls the U.S. his home,) is a welcome surprise. I have done many sessions of Yoga and meditation to these heartfelt and well-composed tunes. I highly recommend it as a gift to a young child, or for anyone looking to open up to other worlds of music. Africa is, afterall, where it all began. Why not go back, if only through music, once in awhile? No world music collection is complete without it. (Great bass playing and backup vocals by guests!)

4 out of 5 stars An Evolving Artist.......2001-12-19

This lastest Samite recording shows an artist who is evolving and refining his craft. To compare his earlier music to this CD is like comparing a street performer to a polished stage act. Kudos to Windham Hill for taking a raw gem and polishing it so that it can shine brightly! The music is fresh and raw, yet refined.

5 out of 5 stars stars to share by samite.......2000-03-06

I first saw samite on t.v. at Christmas time and was so impressed with his music I had to go out and order it the next day. It's one of my all time favorit c.d.s. Everyone that has listened to it wants it. I drive an 18 wheeler across the desert and I can't leave without this disc. It's therapeutic for my soul. The blend of exotic and traditional instruments along with his voice is fantastic. And that's my final answer!

5 out of 5 stars Meditative and enriching for the soul.......1999-12-09

I first heard Samite on Winter Solstice II of Windham Hill. The voice reached out and touched my soul. I play this music and a peace and love descend on me like colors of a warm blanket. He obviously sings from his heart and soul and experience. There is no need to know the meaning of the words. His voice is an instrument. Although purists may be put off by the Windham Hill Touch (a heavy touch) Will Ackerman, Philip Aaberg and Patti Cathcart add more texture to the music. Patti in particular does an outstanding job on Mountains of the Moon. One of my best finds of this year.
