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?

I think they were put there provisionally (by Ivan M.M., who added them), but then everyone forgot to move them. Perhaps we could put them in Prog-Folk, but I'd like to wait for Ivan before we make any decisions.

I offered ivān 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

let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

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

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

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

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