Embalasasa
(amazon.com) - USA    (amazon.co.uk) - UK
- by Samite
interweaves many subjects dear to Samite — native African fables and their morals, musings on the journey of life, of the experience of grief, of childhood, and of nature.

Exile
(amazon.com) - USA  (amazon.co.uk) - UK
by Geoffrey Oryema - Audio CD
Oryema is one of a very small handful of artists that hail from Uganda that can be had on cd, and we are blessed for that. His unique introspective style is what makes this album as special as it is. You can hear the intense melancholia and pain that he has endured in the lyrics, including his exile from his homeland, his yearnings for his land of Anaka, his attempts to soothe his widowed mother. It's all right there for the world to hear (Reviewer: Sean from Tucson, AZ United States)

Beat the Border
(amazon.com) - USA   (amazon.co.uk) - UK
by Geoffrey Oryema - Audio CD
Beat The Border" is another unusual album of nature and traditional songs from the Ugandan singer Geoffrey Oreyma. All the songs are sung in his native Acholi and translated into English on the sleeve. For purists who love "Real World Music" artists. This music's resonance and intensity as well the spiritual power and diversity of Geoffrey Oreyma voice in his native tongue. (Reviewer: A music fan from San Francisco)

Spirit
(amazon.com) - USA   (amazon.co.uk) - UK
by Geoffrey Oryema - Audio CD
a remarkable blend of Ugandan, French, and western sounds. With the help of Rupert Hine on production, Oryema seems to have created his most polished work to date. Singing about what he knows and what is dearest to him, Oryema continues to infuse his music with passion and thoughtfulness (Reviewer: Jason Stein from San Diego, CA)

Night to Night   (amazon.com) - USA
by Geoffrey Oryema - Audio CD
Geoffrey Oryema's third album continues to develop his personal style - somewhere between Afro-pop and Brian Eno-esque ambient music, without the cliches of either. As always, Geoffrey's voice is the most essential component, floating here above a more electronic soundscape than he's employed previously
