OSIBISA - WOYAYA

Vinyl LP
180g VINYL REMASTERED
Catalogue Number: V 143 / REP 2248

After their sensational debut album in 1971, Osibisa stormed on with an impressive follow-up when ‘Woyaya’ was released the same year. A firm favourite with students and rock festival fans, Osibisa was always popular in the UK and throughout Europe, where their rock guitar blended with African rhythms appealed to dancers and listeners alike. Osibisa brought a breath of fresh air to a scene where audiences once sat passively listening at concerts. Now they could get up and join in the excitement generated by this high-energy band of soul brothers. After the success of ‘Woyaya’, Osibisa enjoyed a career that saw them tour the world and this LP has long been hailed by critics as one of their best works.
