Osibisa - Heads (1972)

Osibisa - Heads (1972) 

  Osibisa was the brainchild of Ghana's Teddy Osei who decided to follow his dream and came to England to form and release a number of great African-psych-world music albums.  In his pursuit he turned the world into fans of this music and this and this band actually became fairly popular.  Osibisa mix African and Caribbean forms and wrap these around a rock-light fusion sound that makes their music original and hihgly captivating.  Wango Wango is some of the grooviest Arfrican-rock I have ever heard !  Their first 2 albums were simply amazing too, but it is HEADS that I has become their favourite of mine.
