If this CD has made this fantastic quartet known to a larger number of people, then, it's fine. But what a desappointment in terms of music ! A few interresting songs, but i can't feel any great inspiration in this commercial CD poorly surfing on the ethnic wave. A shame.

2.Okropong: Traditional Music of Ghana by: Obo Addy September 14, 1993
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $2.90
Obo Addy is Ghana's musical ambassador. He has shared the rich musical traditions of his native country with Americans much the same way Babatunde Olatunji did with the music of Nigeria. While Addy's recordings are eclectic, ranging from afropop to new age, he goes back to his roots in this recording and gives us the traditional African rhythm ensemble. Without the new age qualities of his reverb soaked "Rhythm of Which a Chief Walks Gracefully" and lacking the Afropop sensibilities of his other albums, this is a polyrhythmic 'back to the basics' celebration of drums, percussion and beautiful Ghanian songs. By not sounding under or over-produced, the production hits the target and thus stays out of the trap of so many similar projects. The upbeat disc blazes with the balaphone, a myriad of ...

I bought this cd not to long after it came out in an African Drum store in Portland, Oregon, and have loved it every since. You do not just have to love African music to like this cd, I didnt know much about African music before I got it, but this cd has gotten me way more into it. Anybody that likes music should buy this cd, especially if you like world music, African jazz, or reggae.

4.The Rhythm of Which a Chief Walks Gracefully by: Obo Addy October 11, 1994
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $1.72
Obo Addy is Ghana's musical ambassador. He has shared the rich musical traditions of his native country with Americans much the same way Babatunde Olatunji did with the music of Nigeria. Addy's recordings are eclectic, ranging from afropop to traditional and in this case, new age. "New age" can mean so many things nowadays and "the Rhythm of Which a Chief Walks Gracefully" is new age music of substance rooted in traditional music with hand drums, flutes and the balaphone. A featured instrument is the famed talking drum or Dondo as it is know in Ghana. The recording is a musical tour through Ghana and the songs are named after many of the country's most picturesque places. In "Shores of Elmina," one can almost see the seagulls flying over the old castle. "Evening at Kaneshie Market" paints a picture ... Read More

7.Let Me Play My Drums by: Obo Addy April 06, 1995
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $4.49
African music from Ghana and modern jazz combine to create a unique and moving listening experience on this set. The singing (on some tracks) even though in another language (Akan or Twi-Fante) conveys feeling that trancends language or cultural boundaries. I play him on my Jazz or World music shows at 1490 KOTY, Yakima Nation Reservation station in south central Washington state.
