Samite in Concert, Green Lake, Wisconsin



I had the pleasure this early summer to go with Linda, her colleagues, and a group of students from Ripon College to Green Lake to a Samite Concert.


 
 Samite is the stage name for Samite Mulondo  who came to the US from Uganda and presently lives in Ithaca, NY.  In addition to playing flute, Samite also plays a number of traditional African percussion instruments, mostly with his
thumbs.

On his website, you will find a multitude of information about this charismatic man and links to many of his videos.  Samite is also a co-founder of Musicians for World Harmony

Enjoy the videos from the performance; I tried to capture Samite playing all the instruments in his show.
