Wouldn't Art Rock be better, if their influences are so diverse? Just my two cents, BTW... Wink

I see them mostly as a jazz oriented band, though they use the traditional elements of african music in their fusion.

I offered Ivàn to include them in prog folk due to the african folk roots, but he was not warm about it pretexting them to be also psychedelic and too jazz rock also.

Then we should send them in art rock >> the progressive trash can

my two cents as a recent convert to Osibisa by Ivan.... they should be in Prog-Folk.

that's what I thought as well

I think Osibisa would fit well in Prog-Folk.It's better than Various Genres.

At the moment they are listed under Various Genres?

The PA definition os VG:

Various Genres definition

Albums or CD's where more than one artist is featured either as a SAMPLER or a TRIBUTE to a particular band. Examples: - Peter and The Wolf - Prog Fairytale - 1975 / The Reading Room - 2000 / Leonardo - The Absolute Man - 2001 / Best Prog Rock Album in the World... Ever - 2003 / Un Voyage En Progressif Volume 1 to 8 / Kalevala - A Finnish Progressive Rock Epic.

This does not seem the right classification then.... Maybe prog folk?

Yes.

I guess that would suite best.
