About — The artist
Osibisa is a Ghanaian-Caribbean Afro rock band founded in London in the late 1960s by four expatriate West African and three London-based Caribbean musicians.
Osibisa was one of the most successful and longest lived of the African-heritage bands in London, alongside such contemporaries as Assagai, Dudu Pukwana, Chris McGregor's Brotherhood of Breath, Demon Fuzz, The Funkees, Cymande, Black Velvet, and Noir, and was largely responsible for the establishment of world music and Afro-rock as a marketable genre.
The original band that featured on the first three studio albums was universally known as the "Beautiful Seven", also a song on their album Woyaya.
