Osibisa
Osibisa reached a creative peak with this outing, mixing ancestral African beats with the vibrant jazz-funk environment of London. Selections such as Che Che Kule highlight their signature criss-cross rhythmic style, which propelled the outfit to worldwide prominence during the early seventies.
Studio work on this project preserves the authentic, shared energy of their onstage efforts, tempering complex drum patterns with soaring horn sections. This collection functions as a primary record of the Afro-rock movement, capturing a period when jazz, funk, and global sounds converged with infectious enthusiasm.
