SUMMARY:OSIBISA (GBR, GHA)
DESCRIPTION:OSIBISA exploded onto the music world in 1971 with a pulsating and vibrant sound that was to engulf the tired post-60’s rock scene. Translated from Ghanaian, Osibisa means “criss-cross rhythms that explode with happiness.” \n\nThe band’s percussive influence began to manifest itself within the music of their contemporaries. The Osibisa poly-rhythms and percussive breaks were to be an integral feature of the disco boom that was to follow in the late 70’s. Its unique fusion of African, Caribbean, rock, jazz, Latin and R&B paved the way  for other potent music forces, such as,  Bob Marley and the emergence  of  African music in the 80’s. Indeed, Osibisa are seen by many as the Godfathers of World Music. \n\nOne of the important reasons for Osibisa’s enduring success has been their highly energetic and extravagant stage shows. However, their music is still an influential factor in dance music of today - with no fewer than a dozen covers of Euro 2000 football tournament’s theme music “Sunshine Day” to date … \n\nFor many years now, they’ve toured tirelessly, headlining numerous festivals and performing in every far-flung corner of the globe. Highlights have included a major tour of India, which resulted in a No.1 Gold Album: an unprecedented achievement for a Western band.\n\nThey are currently experiencing a renaissance. Recent appearances include the legendary Sunsplash Festival, North-Sea Jazz(Cape Town SA), Glastonbury; as well as recent sold-out concerts in London, New Castle, Vienna, Budapest, Birmingham, Lithuania, Estonia, Switzerland & Germany.
