Our Take

OSIBISA's self-titled debut album is a groovy Afro-rock masterpiece that will have you dancing like nobody's watching (well, unless you're breaking out some questionable moves - then maybe find a secluded spot). Originally released in 1971, this remastered reissue breathes new life into the infectious rhythms and psychedelic vibes that made OSIBISA a household name in the 70s.

From the moment the first track "The Dawn" kicks in with its upbeat percussion and funky brass melodies, you know you're in for a wild ride. Each song on the album is a vibrant explosion of sound, blending traditional African rhythms with rock, jazz, and funk influences. The result is a sound that is truly unique and impossible to resist.

Tracks like "Music for Gong Gong" and "Ayiko Bia" showcase the band's incredible musicianship and ability to create infectious, danceable tunes that will have you tapping your feet and bobbing your head in no time. The energy and enthusiasm of OSIBISA's performances are palpable, making this album a joy to listen to from start to finish.

Overall, OSIBISA's debut album is a timeless classic that deserves a spot in every music lover's collection. So grab your dancing shoes, turn up the volume, and let OSIBISA's infectious grooves sweep you off your feet. You won't regret it.
