4.0 out of 5 stars "Criss-Cross Rthyms That explodes with happiness", November 14, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Sunshine Day: Very Best of (Audio CD)

This is just a correction to the previous reviewer.The Group Osibisa Was Formed Mainly by three Ghanaians,Teddy Osei,Mac Tontoh and Sol Amarfio.The Earlier group also had caribeans namely Wendel Richardson and Richard Bailey.Throughout the years there were other musicians who spent some time with the band like Kofi Ayivor,Kiki Gyan,Loughty Lasisi,The Late Darko Potato, Mike Odumosu,Remi Kabaka and Alfred "kari" Bannerman Who still happens to be with the Band.Their blend of music which could best be described as a fusion Of Rock and Ghanaian Highlife with a jazzy Horn Section and Wicked Killer Percussion throwing in Santana-like Guitar Riffs validates This" Criss-Cross Rythyms That explodes with Happiness". The groups was a huge succcess in Europe,Africa and in India and Japan. Osibisa's music is happy and fun and You wouldn't regret having this or any of their Cd's in your collection.BUY IT

5.0 out of 5 stars Wickedest fusion rock in the world, November 23, 2001

(...)Today Osibisa is also described as the fathers of World Music, but you know, that World Music thing is really a scam to avoid acknowledging that these bands were some of the wickedest funk/ fusion rock bands in the world. Osibisa and Ofo, two UK bands that rocked the world, defined my youth. There could be no finer cd in your collection if you are willing to step on new territory. Solid stuff always.

5.0 out of 5 stars best of west africa dance club music from the 70's, August 3, 2000

This review is from: Sunshine Day: Very Best of (Audio CD)

Osibisa was a band formed by a high school group in Nigeria in the 70's. The melody of the lyrics combined with authentic African konga drums make this a must hear for all music lovers
