Sampa The Great - The Return 2LP xx1997 I can’t say exactly when

I can’t say exactly when I first heard it

or something that looks like them anyway

but in many ways

Sampa The Great - The Return 2LP xx1997 I can’t say exactly whenSampa The Great creates a sense of home on her debut album 'The Return'. A characterful record, its reference points range from classic hip hop to ancient Southern African sounds. Built on four years of personal and musical soul searching, it's an assured statement, the product of meaningful musical connections and of Sampa having to redefine her self identity away from the comforts of family and old friends.
