Samite's release from Triloka Records, is a joyous album conveying optimism through stories and song, replete with swirling melodies, infections rhythms and soulful vocals.
"TUNULA ENO is a moving work of love and devotion by Ugandan-born musician Samite. Written and recorded during his beloved wife`s illness and subsequent death, TUNULA ENO ranges in mood from the joyous celebrations of life heard on `Maama Yi Baaba` to the cathartic release of grief on the title track. Samite is a brilliant multi-instrumentalist who is as adroit at strumming the mbira--an African thumb piano--as he is at playing the flute, the frame drum, or even singing in his glorious tenor voice. The music on TUNULA ENO ranges from songs reminiscent of childhood chants, such as `Kite Kitere,` to elegant, artful songs like `Dawaya Mwoyo.` The latter expresses Samite`s love and loss in a vocal performance that is sure to be universally understood. Samite`s gift of music flows through him, and his ability to turn the most complex emotion into song is rare and impressive. This recording will appeal to lovers of traditional African music and anyone who appreciates potent, singular music by a true artist."

"Uganda's US-based Kalimba or Lukeme (thumb piano) virtuoso Samite's Mwatu song off his latest TUNULA ENO album is being featured on The BBC's World music show hosted by Charlie Gillett...Samite, together with others like Geoffrey Oryema, are Ugandan artists that have lived and breathed World Music and his Kiganda storytelling skills, which he exudes in his work, is one way in which Ugandan culture is being redistributed internationally. On the African continent, he is compared to greats like Yossou N'Dour."
