First let me say that if you're not familiar with Osibisa's "criss cross rhythms that explode with happiness," then you're
missing out. This band's blend of world beats, jazz fusion, unapologetically open-ended songs, instrumental
improvisation, and thick grooves makes Osibisa immediately appealing. The "prog" in Osibisa comes from their
blending of musical roots, making an end result a unique and charming musical experience.I highly recommend everyone reading to the warm sound and dynamic rhythms of this little heard of band. It may not blow your mind as a prog-rock master piece, or have the razzle-dazzle as a Chic Corea or Mahavishnu Orchestra fusion album... but I guarantee that Osibisa will groove its way into your soul and, enhance any party as background music, and catch your attention with its dense rhythms and musicianship. It's a ton of fun while also being artistic, flamboyant, and genuine. Moreover, it could give your Anglo or Scandanavian-centric prog-rock music collection a juicy bit of soul from the equator!
