African musical history comes to
life when master drummer Obo Addy steps on stage. As a prominent member of the
first generation of African musicians to bring their traditional and popular
music to Europe and America, this versatile magician of the drums embodies the
past, present and future of Ghana's musical culture. An original and respected
composer whose music reaches far beyond the boundaries of his land of birth,
Addy has a thirty year presence on the international performing arts scene and
has become known for his ability to celebrate past traditions while expanding to
embrace new ideas and foreign influences. Internationally, Obo Addy's
contribution can be measured by the fact that he is one of the key originators
of the seminal musical movement now known as "Worldbeat." |
