Obo Addy Products

From the Shea Butter Tree in northern Ghana, Master Drummer Obo Addy brings you the secret to soft, smooth skin. Shea, or nkuto, is extracted from the nuts of the tree. The moisturizing butter is a beneficial skin product used by generations of African people. Rich in Vitamins A and E, this natural product moisturizes and nourishes dry or sensitive skin. This product is prepared in Portland, Oregon by Obo’s family who add essential oils and almond oil.

A professional musician by the age of 18, Obo has played in Europe, Australia, America, Japan, Israel and many other countries. His life-long experience of playing every kind of music- from the ceremonial music of his father, a Wonche or medicine man, to the big band sounds of the Joe Kelly Band, to the traditional sounds of the world renowned Oboade- makes him unique. He has been touring the United States since the mid 1970’s performing and teaching in colleges and universities and at community centers and festivals. In 1972, Obo performed at the Olympics in Munich and in 1974 spent three months touring Aboriginal settlements in Australia.

He received a Governors Award for the Arts in Oregon in 1993 as well as a Masters Fellowship from the Oregon Arts Commission and the Regional Arts and Culture Council. In September of 1996, Obo received the National Heritage Fellowship Award from the National Endowment for the Arts, the highest honor given to traditional artists in this country. Along with being a Master traditional artist, Obo also has the gift of pulling two worlds together into a new fusion. He uses his African background to write jazz music for his African Jazz Band, Kukrudu, and has also written orchestral pieces for Kronos Quartet and Third Angle New Music Ensemble. His works have been performed by Chamber Orchestras all over the US.
