Odadaa! is a dynamic ensemble of artists from the Ga tribe of Ghana, West Africa. Led by pioneering master drummer, composer and choreographer Yacub Addy, Odadaa! combines hot African polyrhythmic drumming with flutes, guitar, balafon (wooden xylophone), bass, vocals, high energy dance, and brilliant costumes. The group’s repertoire includes traditional pieces, and vibrant new works created by Addy and group members. Odadaa! recently participated in Addy’s acclaimed Congo Square collaboration with Wynton Marsalis.
