Osibirock

Nice clean vinyl housed in a smart cover.

A big crossover hit for Osibisa – a record that has the group softening up their groove slightly from the heady days of the Roger Dean album covers, yet still retaining enough Afro Funk to keep things interesting!  If anything, the rhythms here are a bit pan-global – sometimes hard and heavy, sometimes lighter and more focused on the melodies of the tunes, especially on the catchier numbers – and instrumentation includes plenty of horns and percussion!  Titles include "African Jive", We Belong", "Home Affairs", "Osibirock", and "Kelele".
