Osibisa - Dance The Body Music
Afrobeats is a new thing for the 2020s? Pshaw!
This Ghanaian-Caribbean Afro rock band was rather big half a century ago.
It's an optimistic noise, blending African sounds to create a dense record that repays a second listen, and many more.
Teddy Osei was the band's founder, and the group are still performing.

From #Osibisa’s Afro-rock rhythms to #NoKingsDay’s democratic pulse — this is a global chorus against bureaucracy, data empires, and corporate monarchs. Rhythm meets revolt, archive meets resistance, and joy becomes political. Reclaim paper, power, and people — from Accra to Delhi, from apartheid’s pass laws to the digital panopticon. ✊🏿🎶
"Dance the body music" - Osibisa
And now we find out where the remaining members of Amazulu vanished to.
Very pleasant song that, wouldn't mind hearing it again.
"I believe when I fall in love it will be forever" - Art Garfunkel
The song title is a mash-up of hits by Robson & Jerome and Ant & Dec, the singing is so Radio 2 I'd expect Jimmy Young to pop up with the recipe of the day.
