Kwaku Kwaakye Obeng is a master drummer from Ghana, West Africa. He has performed with many well-known Western stars, including Fleetwood Mac, Bill Laswell and Bootsy Collins, and traveled to do university lecture tours and festivals all over the world. His debut album, Awakening, was released in early 1998 by Yikes! Records.

The record is called Afri-jazz. The sound is otherworldly, the rhythms- Africa with a 21st century jazz state of mind. This world belongs to master drummer Kwaku Kwaakye Obeng (aka KKO). He started out in the Royal Court of Ghana as a drummer, came to the U.S., and has since played with different sorts of kings; guys like Max Roach, Roy Hargrove and Anthony Braxton. The sounds found on this little plastic disc will take you back to a different time; one that never existed! Imagine Kenny Clarke born in the heart of Africa and you begin to get the picture. Did we mention the ultra groovy cover of "Round Midnight" for bass clarinet and tom toms? This is a terrific record; truly striking.
Alternative Press This music says something profound about homo sapiens’ rhythmic ingenuity and the enduring power of the drum (even our earliest ancestors had the funk, apparently) by
Rootsworld One of a kind, this one, a recording that unfolds one well-paced beat at a time, the sturdy percussive foundation of an enduring piece of work. jazzloft.com
