“Students and adults are engaged and inspired by Oba…” ~ Robert Eriksen, Sun Foundation
“A program on the unifying themes of rhythm and music in African culture included plenty of hands-on experience for both participants and presenters of the program, as both kids and adults worked with a variety of drums and learned some of the basics of the origins of rhythm.” ~Chicago Tribune, Chicago, Illinois
