Osibisa - Ojah Awake. LP. (Earmark - 42061) For those who are followers of Teddy Osei's Ghanian / UK-adopted ensemble, Ojah Awake represents a turning point in Afro Funk/Prog. This 1976 effort, which fuses elements of disco and easy listening with tribal jazz rhythms, created a whole new sound and acted as the springboard for an entirely new subgenre of West African music.180 gram virgin vinyl, PVC dustsleeve

Osibisa - Heads. CD. (B.G.O. Records - BGOCD690) Classic third album by London-based Ghanian afroprog monsters, led by the irrespressible Teddy Osei and Spartacus R. Features 'Kokorokoo' 'Sweet America' and 'Che Che Kule'. Digitally remastered and slipcased- a litany of 'criss cross rhythms' as they would put it and inspired widdly that most British bands would kill for. Digitally rematered and slipcased, and still featuring the famous Roger Dean artwork.

Osibisa - Osibisa/Woyoya. CD. (B.G.O. Records - BGOCD646) First two albums from Wimbledon-based Ghanian rock collective, fusing the 'criss cross rhythms that explode with happiness' (the translation of the band's name) of their native highlife music with acid guitar, prog sensibilities and jazz improvisation. First album includes 'Music For Gong Gong' and 'Think About The People', both of which still survive in the band's set today, whilst the title track of 'Woyoya' was later covered by Art Garfunkel. Dig those Roger Dean sleeves. Junglist posse aiiiii?
