Adam is bassist and founder of the Obruni Dance Band, which “is more than a band. It is a community, a vision, a call to love. [Their] goal is to make neighbors out of strangers through music, dance performances, and art. The word "Obruni" comes from the Twi language that is spoken through much of Ghana, in West Africa. Obruni means "foreigner" or non-Ghanaian.” When not playing Highlife music in Obruni you can catch Adam with his classic country and western band, Big Barton and as a sideman in various groups around town. Enjoy our conversation with Adam Holton.
