Brighton based Samsara emerged out of the primordial porridge to creatively fuse the shifting rhythms of reggae, latin, folk, ska and pop to explore and express songs that are at once memorable, reflective and energetic, addressing the universal nature of the human condition.
Festival favourites in the UK, playing regularly at all the greats of recent and past times; Glastonbury, Irelands Electric Picnic, Sunrise and Larmer Tree festivals, and playing sell out shows across the UK, their musical dexterity and boundless, infectious energy have left feet stomping and minds pontificating wherever they unleash their musical hedonism!
Members of the Brighton collective Comm:Unity, emerging at the forefront of the South’s music scene, they have a new album due to be released later this year to follow up their debut, "'Full Circle", "an album that deserves to be a great international success". (Zig-Zag Wanderings review).
