@playgurl3737 They are from my beloved and the most peaceful nation in Africa- GHANA. Long live GHANA.

These guys and Cymande are so slept on. I love Santana too but Osibisa captured that African funk magic in a pure form so brilliantly!

In this video and during the hey days of OSIBISA there were 2 Nigerians in the Band. Late Jake Solo on Guitar (R.I.P) and Mike Odumosu on Bass guitar. I will also like to let you know that without the rhythm quadruplets there will be no OSIBISA at that time. KIKI GYAN R.I.P.(one of the best keyboard players in the world at at a young age in the 70's) JAKE SOLO(Amazing on Electric guitar) MIKE ODUMOSU(Brilliant on Bass guitar) and The rhythm Man himself SOL AMAFIO (Devastating on Drums)

@markee871 True, though there are three Caribbeans and one Nigerian in Osibisa too, as far as I know.

@chronwell its not accurate to say "African" music africa is a continent! each country has different music,morroccan music isnt like nigerian, egyptian music isnt like south african..we dont say european..we say italian,irish,etc. osibisa is ghaninian..soo its ghaninian,not african.

Hah, didn't even know that Frank Sinatra recorded this song on 78 rpm vinyl! I thought it was an Osibisa original -- they come along and OWN it! This tune has been recorded and interpreted by dozens if not hundreds of artists and bands. Amazing!
