Osibisa are a British Afro-pop band, founded in London in 1969 by four expatriate African and three Caribbean musicians. Their music is a fusion of African, Caribbean, jazz, funk, rock, Latin, and R&B. Osibisa were one of the first African-heritage bands to become widely popular and linked with the world music description.
In Ghana in the 1950s, Teddy Osei (saxophone), Sol Amarfio (drums), Mamon Shareef, and Farhan Freere (flute) played in a highlife band called The Star Gazers. They left to form The Comets, with Osei's brother Mac Tontoh on trumpet, and scored a hit in West Africa with their 1958 song "Pete Pete." In 1962 Osei moved to London to study music on a scholarship from the Ghanaian government. In 1964 he formed Cat's Paw, an early "world music" band that combined highlife, rock, and soul. In 1969 he persuaded Amarfio and Tontoh to join him in London, and Osibisa was born.
Joining them in the first incarnation were Grenadian Spartacus R (bass); Trinidadian Robert Bailey (keyboard); Antiguan Wendell Richardson (lead guitar); and Nigerians Mike Odumosu and Fred Coker (bass guitar) and Lasisi Amao (percussionist and tenor saxophone). The band spent much of the 1970s touring the world, playing to large audiences in Japan, Australia, India, and Africa. During this time Paul Golly (guitar) and Ghanaians Daku Adams 'Potato' and Kiki Gyan were also members of the band. In 1980 Osibisa performed at a special Zimbabwean independence celebration, and in 1983 were filmed onstage at the Marquee Club in London.

Osibisa Lugano Estival Jazz 2013 Mendrisio, Switzerland; June 29, 2013 Excellent satellite broadcast. Osibisa believe in saving the best for almost-the-last, and with Dance The Body Music and Sunshine Day in the setlist, this is enough to make anyone jump up and dance. (Could the percussive nature of these tracks have led to the growth of Washington DC’s go-go funk those many years ago?) It’s really quite difficult to sit still with music this infectious. 00:00 Superfly Man 5:22 05:22 Fire 6:57 12:19 Right Now 5:16 17:35 Woyaya 6:15 23:50 Welcome Home 5:05 28:55 Music For Gong Gong 4:47 33:42 Kelele 3:17 36:59 Aiko Bia 9:01 46:00 Pata Pata 7:49 53:49 The Warrior 3:26 57:15 Dance The Body Music/Sunshine Day 10:54 1:08:09 Jam (?)/band intro 14:35 Teddy Osei - sax, percussion, vocals Col...
