Editorial Reviews
This is a fine disc. This is rhythm, not world-beat. Traditional percussion polyrhythms... with chanting, often call-and-response.
Product Description
Summary: Live, earthy, authentic and original African polyrhythms and songs that move body and spirit, featuring powerful, lush, melodic drumming, bamboo flutes and vocal harmonies.
Yacub Addy is senior among the famous members of the Addy family ofdrummers from Accra, Ghana. A hip African elder and true pioneer, he bucked the status quo to play and live his traditional culture. Addy's music is the power of ancient rhythm breathing life into the 21st century.
Addy's art took him from Ghana to Europe and America, where he created Odadaa!, made up of great performers of his Ga ethnic group. Combining lush rhythms, rich vocals, and a wonderfully casual virtuosity, Odadaa! is hard to resist.
"Children of the Ancients" testifies. A wrought iron bell gives the beat, and an array of melodic drums, calabash shakers, additional bells, bamboo flutes and voices elaborate, communicating in a responsive dialogue, creating a deep soundscape full of life. It includes three traditional Ga pieces and four new traditionally-grounded compositions, a form Addy calls tsimo ("chee-mo"), meaning powerful or heavy. And it is heavy!

Album Description
The band's world music sound is a fusion of ethereal electronic melodies with Asian, Jamaican, Celtic, and American jazz influences laid over driving techno grooves. One of the guiding principles of the band has been that any sound generated in the studio must be capable of being performed live - thus any song heard on the CD can be done in a live performance. The CD is extremely interesting in that a wide variety of songs is presented.Rock Music:
