    The AS220 Criss Cross Orchestra (also known as ACCO) will be performing every second Thursday of each month. They will lift your heart with its polyrhythmic, jumpy, musical style which is based in the traditional rhythms of Ghanaian West African music. The group is directed by Obuamah Laud Addy, an award winning West African Ghanaian musician and composer. He is joined by many of the finest West African and New England musicians and ensemble performers. Criss Cross music is currently performed in Europe and Africa; it is defined as a crossing or combination of powerful traditional native African, American, Caribbean, Cuban, Latin American and European musical styles, and includes some of the tonality, improvisations, and other musical dynamics found in Jazz, Rhythm & Blues, and Hip Hop. Per Artistic Director of AS220 Umberto Crenca, ACCO is intended to demonstrate the compelling and powerful results of cross-cultural collaborations. What better way than through the creation of new music!"
