Open up those dusty minds....

About Me

Samsara emerged out of the primordial porridge as a 5 piece reggae band situated on the south cost with an aim to uplift and enlighten even the most stubborn of dancing feet and get spirits skanking. Samsara's sound has its roots in the English Two-tone reggae bands of the 70's and 80's, and they have re-defined the style for the modern age using musical genres from all over the world and throughout the history of pop music, to produce a startlingly new angle on The Jamaican sound. With carefully crafted, memorable songs, and a sound that has been compared to The Police, Sublime and Bedouin Soundclash, their debut Album, "'Full Circle" is "an album that deserves to be a great international success". (Zig-Zag Wanderings review). Samsara have now emerged as an established presence with a strong following, and their boundless energy is leaving all heads buzzing, feet stomping, and minds pontificating the human condition!
"FULL CIRCLE" Debut Album NOW AVAILABLE!!!Features the tracks:
1) Thief in the Night
2) Rise
3) Race to the Future
4) Empty People

6) Full Circle (w/Dizraeli)
