[fweenerson]

@fweenerson I took up a lot of my time finding this video. I uploaded all I found. If you have a better version then you should post a video response,something most lovers of music do effortlessly. I eagerly await you video response

I was fortunate enough to see Osibisa in the late 70's at Constitution Hall in DC. What a concert. The music and showmanship was outstanding. Me and the fellas had a hellva time. And of course during that era you could smoke marijuana in concert ventures. This chip brings back good feelings. Past the joint like they use to say (lol)

[kwakuderf]

RIP Uncle Mac. I will always remember your infectious wide grin that filled rooms, your Criss Cross Rhythms will always be in our ears and give us Happiness

[bassbob42]

Fantastic music, I still have an LP by them. Man am I old!

[musicolorhythm]

Rock it´s african!

[epd6]

I still have this album on LP, still swinging, still enjoying as in the old (read: young) days, haha. Love it and my children love it, too, however they normaly are used to other kinds of "music"....

[darkbluesoul]

if you like this music, and you aren't already hip to it, check out the father of afrobeat, Fela Kuti. That guy will blow your mind right out of your skull. And on top of that, he was a courageous activist for reform in Nigeria, an incredible figure. Peace

[MicrosoftsourceCode]

I have heard Fela Kuti before many times big deal. I listen to al sorts of music and choose what I like thank you

[SteffanLlwyd]

Osibisa is Life and must Go On For Ever...

[g74ui78ll88ermo]

[yesthatiscorrect]

I didn't think it was physically possible for there to be angry posts on an Osibisa video. They play the happiest music I've ever heard. No matter how bad of a mood I'm in, Osibisa can always cure it. ^^

[valentynesuite]

wow! good band!i have some albums!Sol Amarfio, the drummer, plays an italian drum set, Hollywood.I have the same set

[RLW1967]

Osibisa could play the funk out of this song. They were really smoking with their music. Peace.

[RLW1967]

Osibisa rocks. That is that. Period.
