Osibisa was founded in 1969 by Teddy Osei, a Ghanaian saxophonist, drummer and composer. Their vibrant African cross-rhythms brought new life to a tired rock scene, and they were one of the first bands to popularise African music in Europe, America, and the rest of the world; they’ve been called the Godfathers of World Music! For four decades they’ve been delighting audiences with their energetic fusion sound that covers everything from African, Caribbean and rock to jazz, Latin and R&B; as yet their astounding live performances show no signs of slowing down. Osibisa are joyous, unstoppable, and here to stay!
