Osibisa — artist
Osibisa is a British Afro-rock band formed in London in 1969 by four expatriate African and three Caribbean musicians. Known for pioneering the fusion of African rhythms with rock, jazz, and funk, their sound is characterized by vibrant percussion, energetic horn sections, and dynamic guitar work. Influenced by traditional African music, Caribbean calypso, and Western rock, Osibisa played a crucial role in popularizing world music in the 1970s. Their music is often celebrated for its lively performances and cross-cultural appeal.
