Blast From The Past.......2005-12-20

Normally when I think of "World Music" I want to stick my finger down my throat and gag, but in this case... I only bring this up because I have seen Osibisa classified in the World Music genre and I hate to categorize them that way, however accurate it may be.

I got this album in the early seventies because of the album cover alone. That was enough to pique my interest. The music was surely not what I expected but it has a groove to it that I liked. This album was especially good with heavy incense, a black light, and that cover done over in dayglo paint. The good old days!

I have not heard this or their first album in thirty years yet I can still remember the melody to Woyaya. I suppose if you are a World Music freak then this album is for you. They were original, and they were unique and there has never been anything quite like them since. The combination of Wendell Richardson and Teddy Osei had magic that still shines through today. To me, Osibisa is the exception to the rule and I highly recommend them even for rockers!

"Back in time".......2005-10-26

This is an excellent music and is able to take you back in time to remember. Great experience, and is still able to make your heart beat faster.

Better have good speakers.......2004-11-10

This is one CD that I use to test speakers. Fire up Survival, turn up the volume, if they can handle this, they are fine. Why you ask? Because this is meant to be played loud, and the bass will rattle a room. WARNING if you rent, don't try this at home. Beautiful 7, and the uplifting ending cut Woyaya make this a must have for world music fans.

BEYOND AWESOME!.......2004-05-27

This has got to be one of my all time favorite albums! I have been listening to it since my brother brought it home from his friends house after the album first came out. My brother's friend got it from his own brother who worked at a radio station so I think it was a promotional album. I still have the vinyl album. In fact,I was so impressed with not only the music but also the cover artwork that I had the flying elephant TATTOOED ON MY BACK!! I feel this is their best album but it has been quite awhile since I have heard any of their other music. The songs on this album have been stuck in my head for over 30 years and I never get tired of them. Another album that I would recommend is "Flaming Drums" by Olatunji. This album was made in 1962 on Columbia records. I bought it at a yard sale or used record store in 1969 or 1970[or there-abouts] and have been enjoying it ever since. I cannot wait to get them both on cd so I can enjoy them in my vehicles. Broaden your musical horizons and buy this music.

As Tour Manager for Osibisa I am a bit bias.......2003-12-14

If you like this album come & see the Band LIVE!
Yes OSIBISA is alive & well & still blowing the fans away with there amazing music, just like they always have. The line up has changed a little but the feet can't stop once an Osibisa show starts.
I was both a friend & a fan back in the early 70s.
This was a band that opened our ears in the western world, to the sounds of Africa & the rhythms of the heart beat!
I lost contact with the band for some years & was reunited by an agent (Denis Vaughan - thank you Denis) who asked me to tour manage a band to Hungary for a TV show (later I discovered it was Osibisa). It was great to see Teddy, Sol, Kofi, Gregg & the guys again & we have been working together since. The band are working on a regular basis recently playing in Leverkusen Germany, The North Sea Jazz Festival & Polsmore Prison - Cape Town South Africa & some UK dates including an amazing sound at Off The Tracks Festival in Suffolk thanks to Graham Beresford & the team from Loud and clear productions Nottingham.
