Sampa The Great

Despite its rather impressive runtime of 1 hour and 17 minutes, Sampa The Great’s epic ‘The Return’ simply breezes by. The rapper and producer, born in Zambia and raised in Botswana, sounds vital and full of life with her vibrant combination of funk, soul, R&B, hip-hop, spoken word and traditional folk. The album takes a true-to-life look at Sampa's worldwide search for her final form; from Africa to America, via Australia and back.
