THE FIRST ALL AFRICAN BAND IN ENGLAND AND OF COURSE EUROPE. IT TAKES ONLY AN ASANTE COURAGE TO FORM SUCH BAND IN EUROPE. BLEEDING IS ALLOWED.

So now the Beautiful 7 have morphed into the Not-So-Beautiful 2: Robert Bailey and Dell Richardson. Criss Cross rhythms that explode with happiness! Yeah, and the root is early one morning in the heart of Africa!

Stupid NAPO of NPP, this is one of the millions of "mo Kwame Nkrumah " products. Who created KNUST where you studied your " so called medicine"? Uncle Teddy, may you rest in peace.

RIP Mr Osibisa. Your legacy is great, legendary Teddy Osei. Though it's not mentioned in the report where you gave up the ghost, I guess it happened in London.

May you rest peacefully in bosom of the Lord

STILL PLAYING OSIBISA SONGS

They made me appreciate my culture in the early 1970s, wearing batakari, ahenemma sandals and even one stage tyre sandals. I will continue to play this group's song. One time I became an expert about the group, educating my friends about the group make ups. Gone are Kiki Gyan, Mac Tontoh and now , the leader, Teddy Osei Lasisi Amao,Spatacus and Sol Amarfio.
Only a few of them are alive.

I think Robert Bailey (Keyboards), Wendell Richardson (Lead Guitar) and Jean Dikoto Mandengue (Bass Guitar) are still around. I don't know if Mike Odumosu (Bass Guitar) is still alive. Any info???

I was not talking about only founding members but musicians who passed through Osibisa. Another founding member was Loughty Lasisi Amao (saxophone and congas) who, also, died (from gunshot wounds after an altercation with a neighbour). Then there were members like Paul Golly (lead guitar) and Jake Solo (lead guitar).

Just remembered: Kiki Gyan (Keyboards) is also gone while Kofi Ayivor (Purcussion) is still alive and kicking.

OH SO SAD . A REAL HEAVYWEIGHT IN THE AFRICAN MUSIC SCENE AND BEING ONE OF THE PIONEERS OF ONE OF THE MOST LONGEST REIGNING BAND. MY MOST FAVOURITE OF THEIR SONGS ARE CELEBRATION AND THE 1971 WOYAYA HIT SONG( WE ARE GOING ) WHICH COMMENCED THE POPULAR TV DRAMA SERIES OSOFO DADZIE . ALMIGHTY GOD GRANT YOUR FAMILY THE FORTITUDE TO BEAR SUCH A GREAT LOSS . YOU HAVE LEFT BEHIND A GREAT LEGACY TOGETHER WITH THE OTHER BAND MEMBERS THAT HAVE ALREADY DEMISED AHEAD OF YOU . MR. TEDDY OSEI , YOU WILL SURELY BE GREATLY MISSED . REST IN PERFECT PEACE IN THE BOSOM OF YOUR CREATOR , THE GOD ALMIGHTY. PSALM 116:15
