Expressions,
WSKG's new show about the "Art & Soul of the Southern
Tier," continues
its second season this
week with an in-studio concert from Ithaca area singerSamite.
Originally from Uganda, Samite has made his home
in Ithaca, New York for many years. Billboard Magazine
says "Samite wraps his warm voice around melodies that
seem to rise up off the Ugandan plateau, caressed by his
kalimbas (thumb pianos) and other native instruments." Percussionist
Jeff Kayes accompanies Samite on Djembes and Congas among
other instruments.Tune in for this concert
8pm Thursday, 9/25 on WSKG-TV, with a simulcast on WSKG HD(rebroadcast
Sunday, 9/28/08, 10:30pm on WSKG TV only).
WSKG isgratified by the response Expressions received
in its first season, and we're interested in your opinion, too.
