专辑简介

by MusDObo Addy uses expressive percussion, engaging melodies and studio wizardry to paint a rich picture of his native Ghana on The Rhythm of Which a Chief Walks Gracefully. Addy combines his masterful performances on African hand drums and xylophone with vocals from Jim Cheek and Gary Harris on flutes. The compositions spring from Addy's thoughts and remembrances of his homeland and expectedly cover a range of emotions. But even in sadness the pieces sound joyful, owing to Addy's optimistic perspective on life. Nature sounds provide a natural texture and background to many pieces.
