World Music Central, CD Review >>

The thumb piano, also known as the kalimba or mbira, is an instrument with amazingly simple intonations that form the sole foundation for Samite’s music. The thumb piano is accompanied with xylophone, flute, piano, guitar and Samite’s emotive vocalizations. Those familiar with the thumb piano from Southern Africa will find Embalasasa enthralling. Embalasasa is one of the few releases to come out of Uganda. Overall, the instrumentation is superb, pleasant and contemplative; but there are a few energetic moments, as well. Very refreshing!  04/01/06 >> go there
