His hopes for world peace and prosperity shine through.......2004-08-30

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.

big samite fan.......2003-12-30

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.

Samite is superb.......2003-08-13

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.

African pop fails to involve listener.......2002-11-30

Reading about Samite's survival of Idi Amin's regime and the explanation for each track, I wanted to like this CD more. It's African pop that is not bad but not involving either.

An excellent energetic work.......2002-03-08

This CD brings a feeling of joy to me. It has such an upbeat, but not overpowering sound to it. It's great driving music! If you enjoy CD's with the majority of the songs in non-english, you will enjoy this CD. There is only one song with english lyrics on this CD. It definately has an African sound to it which is fun and interesting to hear.
