Click for large image This classic album has everything for any fan of percussion, or anyone who loves afro-beat. Appearances from ChiefBey, and Montego Joe along with world musician Solomon G. Ilori, woodwind master Yusef Lateef, and bassist Ahmed Abdul-Malik. This is a fusion of authentic Africa with the sound of avant-garde Jazz, swing and afrobeat. Simply a masterpiece.

Osibisa - Osibisa/Woyoya. CD.
(Label: B.G.O. Records, Cat.No: BGOCD646)

Click for large image 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?
