In the words of the great performance poet Sekou Sundiata, ‘Samita’s work is both an embrace and an argument with the past. Its effect is to create an up-to-the-minute aesthetic that reflects that transnational, planetary, technologically sophisticated culture of the 21st century. She is a citizen of the world.’ Says All About Jazz, 'Sinha has an extremely strong stage presence, always exuding a sense of control, both technically and emotionally. Her voice could change from extroverted to vulnerable within one phrase, all while balancing the feel of tune with that of the ecstatic.’ Using the range of her voice, her Hindustani classical vocal training, tanpura, electronics, and text, Samita charters her own territory within sound, language and emotion. She performs solo and within various collaborations (her primary collaborator is Marc Cary) internationally. Other conspirators have included Sunny Jain, Sekou Sundiata, Dave Sharma, Guillermo Brown, Adam Klipple (AK 88), Jesse Neuman, Dan Fabricatore, Sonny Suchdev, Matana Roberts, Terence Murren, Tomas Fujiwara, Daniel Carter, Achyut Joshi, Sameer Gupta, Eric Fraser, Will Calhoun and many more.
