Product Notes:  
 
Digitally remastered edition of 2 original albums from 1971 and 1972 compiled on a single CD. Osibisa was formed by Ghanan Teddy Osei in London and the group's music fused African and Carribean rhythms... a "criss cross rhythms that explode with happiness". Art Garfunkel covered "Woyaya" on his debut "Angel Clare". The album art was painted by Roger Dean, most famous for his covers of various Yes album jackets.

I mention both albums because they’re available on one cd as We speak, and are Well worth your time
