| Discussion: Osibisa Does anyone recall them? I think I saw 'em live in 1973 or somesuch!!!!! >>By nonyeb no,what are they like? >>By scarletnikki I used to have one of their albums back in about 1975-I didn't know they were still around. That album was very rhythmic jazz with a heavy bass beat-good stuff at the time. I would be interested in hearing about some of their new music. >>By 21pinetree http://wc02.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll Well, it was Afro music, apparently influenced by "Highlife" & Caribbean forms as AMG points out. The instrumentation was Western (Guitars, drums, horns) & they dressed in highly colourful African style. The music had a joyous, upbeat tone on the whole. >>By nonyeb Wendell Richardson, the guitarist joined FREE for their '73 tour after Kossoff quit >>By MigrantWing I still own a vinyl copy of "Osibisa". I purchased it in the last half of the '70's. >>By headrush77 I'm impressed to hear that they were known in the US. I wonder if any of them are still very active in music? >>By nonyeb You are not logged in. To access all functionality, you can log in via Flork.
