Occidental Brothers Dance Band International Odo Sanbra pays tribute
to the diversity of African musical styles, particularly those that
flourished in the early 1900s, in Oda Sanbra, their energetic new
album. Neither does guitarist and band founder Nathaniel Braddock
neglect his small-town Michigan heritage in the search to blend the
best elements of traditional and original music. Saxophonist Greg Ward
produces an African-styled counter to Braddock's guitar, while Ghanian
star Kofi Crowell adds the gift of his lyrics, sometimes in English
but often in the native Ghanian dialects of Fante or Twi. A truly
marvelous listening experience, enthusiastically recommended
especially for international music collections. The tracks are
"Nyenko!", "Odo Sanbra", "Mafiwo", "Bizarre Love Triangle", "Circle
Circle Circle", "Masanga", "Odo Bra WaWaWa", "Nedo Ye Fe", "Her Love
Is Sweet", "Akwaaba 'You Are Welcome'", and "Yaa Amponsah".
