UNITED ONE. RECORDS GORDON ODAMETEY

GORDON ODAMETEY - Power To The Soul - GAM-003-2 With his second album "Power To The Soul" Gordon Odametey summarizes his experience as a drummer and presents an artistically well balanced result of twenty years of drumming. The 'classical' use of traditional patterns of rhythm is accentuated, however, the musician' s preference for free drumming is easily to be recognized. Gordon Odametey has been living in Germany for 15 years. He comes from a Ghanian family of musicians and healers and combines experiences made in the diaspora with those of the origins of drumming. In addition to the aesthaetic effect of sounds "Power To The Soul" deals with the power inherent in music: the freeing of emotions and being aware of them. Gordon Odametey works with the music's effects on the soul and feelings of his audience. His music translates and causes emotions: "You feel that you are being cured... in a way that you cannot describe and you feel happiness..., an overwhelming joy of life."
