Osibisa
Boisdale Of Canary Wharf, E14 4QT , [Venue Details]Get ready for a night of extraordinary live music as Osibisa - one of the most important and influential bands to emerge from the African diaspora - bring their legendary fusion of African rhythms, Caribbean grooves, jazz and rock to Boisdale of Canary Wharf.
Formed in London in 1969 by musicians from Ghana, the Caribbean and beyond, Osibisa helped establish a new musical language: joyous, rhythmically sophisticated and completely their own. Their pioneering Afro-rock sound would go on to influence generations of musicians and establish the band as one of the great international live acts of their era.
Their extraordinary story is woven into the fabric of modern music. Jimi Hendrix watched them rehearse, Stevie Wonder famously joined them on drums, and their career took them from London to Africa, America, and some of the world's biggest stages. Few bands can claim such a remarkable place in musical history.
Expect classics including:
Sunshine Day
Welcome Home
Music for Gong Gong
But this is about much more than the hits. Osibisa's live sound is built around powerful percussion, soaring horns, infectious bass lines, and irresistible African and Caribbean rhythms - music designed to move both the body and the spirit.
“Jimi Hendrix watched them rehearse, Stevie Wonder joined them on drums, and Fela Kuti partied with them in Lagos...” The Guardian
