Osibisa - Sunshine Day

Returning after their sell out gig with us during the London African Music Festival, these British pioneers of Afro-beat and godfathers of world music deliver their boisterous live set.

[@ALEKUKILSG]

Osibisa is a band formed in London in 1969 by four Africans and three Caribbeans, which reached its greatest popularity in the early 70s. It was one of the first African groups known worldwide.

[@addomikes5259]

get the facts right. They were first formed from Ghana... click and watch the history of the band kzbin.info/www/bejne/q53PlaZ6iNaSo7csi=gNrcE7aIKBMmaMQS

Hey Osibisa, here is your message . Mother Ghana is *Very* proud of you

[@antobasuki2576]

I am 56,..first time listened Sunshine Day - OSIBISA, when I was 10 or 11, as my next door neighbor, in a very little town of Indonesia, East Java, was a radio cassette shop. And since then Sunshine Day become one of my evergreen oldies most memorable song. And only realized by today, reading on the below comments, that in fact, OSIBISA, is from Ghana, the only African country I've ever visited so far. I visited Thema, small town close to Accra back in 2010.

[@missmollydex7163]

I saw Osibisa in concert in Tasmania, Australia around 1978. Just started first job when I was 17, so excited to pay for my ticket with my own money. Everyone was dancing in their seats. Brilliant night. Xx

[@Afrojoeful]

They made Ghana so proud, original group from Ghana and hired musicians from other countries

[@shailendrasingh2016]

Bestest

[@idristetteh7969]

They're so talented

[@alexevansuk]

Music with this amount of love and positivity, none of those musicians were 'hired', they were in it for the love too.

[@nzgkilla]

Gotta hand it to you Africans. Untouchable music and rhythm especially Ghana, South Africa and Nigeria! Peace and love to you brothers

No it wasn't this. The original band was Osibisa Band from Ghana. Unless this is a younger generation that has taken over.

Almost 60... 15 when I heard the boys first... Holy Molly!

I saw Osibisa in Exeter in 1977. They might have the same name but I doubt there's a single member of the Exeter band here. Bloody good though.

[@lewisner]

Great record. you can't hear it without feeling happy.

[@pedjaalbijanic7259]

That's the way, aha, aha I like it .... true music, authentic and powerful.

[@dsman2968]

thank you for being still here

[@oneworld9071]

Goose-bumps..... what a wonderful find. First heard this mid 70's on WHUR, Howard University's legendary FM radio station. For those who've known this band since those days...... think about it a sec. How far away in time did 2020 seem? Aren't we supposed to be in flying cars and living in apartments in Space Needle-like buildings....... like the Jetsons :) thank you for sharing this treasure

This is July 2024 & SUNSHINE DAY by OSIBISA continues to be exceedingly electrifying, enormously exciting, exceptionally enthralling, excellently enjoyable, extremely entertaining, exclusively exotic and exquisitely expressive. The music is marvellously melodious, magnificently memorable, magically momentous, mesmerising and masterpiece. Their singing is singularly soulful, spellbinding, superb, sincere and simply spectacular. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
