Anyone who can make a German like me dance the way Samite had me dancing deserves some sort of an award." -Dave Becker, Oakland Tribune "Gas prices, election-year politics, lousy weather--whatever has you feeling down, Ugandan expatriate Samite has the cure. . . .He speaks more about passion and love with a few scat syllables than most singers can convey with a whole song." - Don Snowden, Los Angeles Times "The multiple rhythms are forceful but not domineering, and Samite's melodies ride over and through them to create a soothing, almost lullaby-like effect. It's modern African folk music . . ."  - Jim Washburn, Los Angeles Times “Although one of Samite's kalimbas was no larger than two cigarette packs, when amplified it revealed an enfolding timbre and interweaving complexity that Philip Glass would be hard pressed to replicate. His eight-number performance earned two standing ovations." - The Philadelphia Inquirer "Singing in Luganda, Samite uses his sweet tenor to recall the lush countryside he left behind when he fled Uganda's civil strife."
