Okrapong w/ Obo Addy AfieyeOkrapong CD

Okropong, meaning "eagle" in Obo Addy's native Ga language, performs traditional Ghanaia music chosen from the various ethnic cultures in Ghana. Using a variety of hand and stick drums, talking drums, bells and shakers, the musicians build layers of driving rhythms. Obo Addy, the son of a Wonche medicine man in Ghana, was designated a "master drummer" at the age of six. Surrounded by his enormous family (his father had 55 children by 10 wives) and thoroughly immersed in the core musical traditions of his people, Obo embodied the skills and deep values of Ga music as few could. When Obo Addy and his group Okropong step onto the stage African musical history comes to life.
