Review of Interview with singer and human rights activist SAMITE known as "the soul of Africa"
Samite is articulate, sensitive, sweet ? you just want to take him home in your pocket. The interview is relaxed and informative. He uses his music to make people forget if only for a moment the brutal reality of war, lost family and the difficulties of bare survival. A programme that could fit easily into many slots ? for music, development, interview profiles. Recommended listening.
