As "one of the South’s most exciting reggae acts", Brighton-based collective Samsara create an open minded and fresh take on the roots tradition. Their music pays tribute to the original innovators of the sound while refusing to be bound by any stylistic conventions. The result has been described as "a startlingly new angle on the Jamaican sound" which sees the band "taking some solidly ska and reggae influences right to the edge with the kind of abandon beloved of jazz musicians and mixing it with near gypsy levels of passion." "The Great Unravelling" - OUT NOW! http://samsarauk.bandcamp.com/
