    Am surprised nothing much is said about Kiki Gyan when we're talking about osibisa, was he not part of the group?

  • Wilson 9 months ago

    His stay was short-lived.
    That aside he was causing trouble.
    Don't forget a lot of performers joined the group at different times:
    Kofi Ayivor
    Bessa Simon
    Guy Warren

  • LA VERITÉ 9 months ago

    Ha ha ha!

    Guy Warren was NEVER in Osibisa!

    Do your research properly before you come here with your comments!

    Kiki Gyan did not cause any trouble in Osibisa or for Osibisa! Teddy, Sol, and Mac stole his songs and re ...

    Tony Donkor: the source contributor of this article I'll humbly suggest you update readers of your article by adding the name of KIKI GYAN because he played significant roles in the growth of Osibisa.

    I'm filled with sorrow. Indeed this gentleman and the other Ghanaians in the group made Ghana and Africa proud. There wasn't any tribal discrimination at all at the time. Nobody quarrelled or had and issue about the fact that ...

    It's because of creatures like you our society is still struggling to move for ...

    Bessa was not a member of Osibisa!

    He worked with Osibisa as a session musician on an ad-hoc basis but he was merely a hired hand and not a bonafide member of the band.

    Just like Kari Bannerman, Vico Mensah, Herman Asaf ...
