Osibisa - Highlife! The Definitive Anthology (1971-1977) torrent

Osibisa is a Ghanaian Afro-pop band, founded in London in 1969 by four
expatriate African and three Caribbean musicians.

The brainchild of Teddy Osei, a Ghanaian sax player, composer, who came to
London to study music, Osibisa was one of the first African bands to win
worldwide popularity. Their mix of African (especially highlife) and Caribbean
forms made them a sensation in the mid 70s and their popularity continues today.
