1	Osibisa (1971) more music like this by Osibisa Osibisa's self-titled album opened up their unique blend of African and Western styled music to a wider audience, charting in both the U.S. and Europe. Produced by Tony Visconti, Osibisa's extraordinary merger of African drum beats, colorful rhythms, and rock-inspired keyboard and horn parts give it an expansive sound that infuses countless ... see all copies from $13.64! new only from $13.64!
2	Heads (1972) more music like this by Osibisa Osibisa, the West African high-life band from Ghana, waxed their first LP in 1971 and continues to spit them out. Their longevity can be attributed to a vibrant sound and the ability to inject humor into music. They don't allow themselves to become mired in social issues as did the short-lived but often brilliant Cymande, whose LPs were ... see all copies from $16.39! new only from $16.39!

4	Woyaya (1971) more music like this by Osibisa One side of this album has three jazzier, more improvisatonal cuts, the other a good sampling of the band's Afro-funk groove. J. Poet, All Music Guide see all copies from $10.00! new only from $14.60!
5	Osibirock (1974) more music like this by Osibisa Osibisa made its greatest inroads into British and American popularity in the early '70s. By the time of 1974's Osibirock, the band was in transition, moving from one record label to another (this disc was released in the U.S. on Warner Bros. following a long stint on Decca) as musical tastes changed. At first, Osibisa's rock/highlife hybrid was a ... see all copies from $10.72! new only from $10.72!
6	Ojah Awake (1976) more music like this by Osibisa Osibisa's eighth album in only five years, 1976's Ojah Awake was the Ghanaian Afro-poppers' commercial high point in their adopted home of Great Britain. Though the band had a strong cult following throughout their career, this big-selling album spawned two big hits: the Brazilian-flavored "The Coffee Song" (a '40s novelty song that had previously ... see all copies from $13.64! new only from $13.64!
7	Celebration: The Best of Osibisa (1994) more music like this by Osibisa Long before the term world music was a twinkle in anyone's ear, there was Osibisa -- a Ghanaian name meaning "criss-cross rhythms exploding with happiness" (a big phrase for a small word). But the mix of musicians from Ghana, Britain, and the Caribbean exploded on the English scene, scoring a massive hit with the catchy, danceable "Sunshine Day" ... see all copies from $13.64! new only from $13.64!

9	Sunshine Day (1992) more music like this by Osibisa This two-CD compilation contains the entirety of all three studio albums Osibisa recorded for the British Pye and Bronze labels (1975's Welcome Home, 1976's Ojah Awake, and 1980's Mystic Energy), as well as five non-LP sides (among them 12" mixes of two tracks from Mystic Energy). Although this was the group's period of greatest commercial success ... see all copies from $11.85! new only from $11.85!
10	Happy Children (1973) more music like this by Osibisa In the wake of the massive early-'70s success of Santana, a flurry of groups that combined rock with traditional percussion were signed to major labels. Osibisa, though a completely different animal than Carlos Santana and crew, were one of these groups. On Happy Children, the band's fourth album and one of their best, Osibisa emerge as a true ... see all copies from $10.28! new only from $10.28!
11 view cover	Black Magic Night: Live at the Royal Festival Hall (1977) more music like this by Osibisa Recorded on July 19, 1977, this double LP (reissued as a two-CD set) contained live versions of songs that appeared on several of their 1971-1977 albums, as well as one ("Living Loving Feeling") that only came out as a single. Osibisa, who anticipated many of the features of the worldbeat sound, cover a lot of ground on this lengthy set -- maybe ... see all copies from $10.97! new only from $10.97!

13 view cover	Sunshine Day: Very Best of Osibisa (1999) more music like this by Osibisa Well, not exactly. This U.K. triple-CD set is actually a simple repackaging of the 1976 Ojah Awake, 1977's Welcome Home, and the 1995 African Flight, with no additional material or interesting diversions. It is, however, a very cheap introduction to the congenial pleasures of Osibisa and includes their rendition of "The Coffee Song," which marked ... see all copies from $17.59!
14 view cover	Wango Wango (2004) more music like this by Osibisa Long before the term world music was a twinkle in anyone's eye, Osibisa were mixing rock and African music (specifically Ghanaian highlife) with great success. From their formation in 1971 they had several hits, although their lasting effect was probably quite modest -- that said, they were definite trailbreakers. The big songs are all collected ... see all copies from $8.00!

Crentsil, Eric Agyeman, Jewel Ackah, Gyedu-Bley Ambolley and George Darko, along with three numbers by Osei himself and his longtime sidekick, Mac Tontoh.
