Osibisa is a British-Ghanaian-Caribbean Afro rock band founded in England during the late 1960s by London-based expatriate West African and Caribbean musicians. Their music blended styles and rhythms from their homelands with soul, funk, and rock. Their first seven albums -- 1971's Osibisa and Woyaya, 1972's Heads, 1973's Superfly TNT (soundtrack) and Happy Children, 1974's Osibirock and 1975's Welcome Home -- all cracked the U.S. Top 200 and charted in England, Australia, and Canada. They released two acclaimed albums on <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Bronze%22">Bronze</a> -- 1976's Ojah Awake and Black Magic Night. During the '80s they recorded for several labels including <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Celluloid%22">Celluloid</a> (Celebration, 1980; Live at the Marquee, 1983), and <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Sound+Check%22">Sound Check</a> (Jambo, 1989). After going on hiatus in 1990, they regrouped for 1995's Unleashed and 1996's Monsore. 2003's African Dawn, African Flight and 2009's Osee Yee introduced them to a new generation. New Dawn appeared on Marquee Records in 2021.
