The Godfathers of Afro-Rock, Osibisa, unveil their first new material since 2009, with their highly anticipated new album, ‘New Dawn’, released on 23 April 2021. The album comes at the most poignant time in Osibisa’s history, marking exactly 45 years since their debut UK chart hit with ‘Sunshine Day’ in 1976. 

Reformed, revamped and reinvigorated, Osibisa of 2021, takes flight from their pioneering Afro-rock ties of old, leaping into multi-genres of rock, reggae, jazz, calypso, pop and soul; whilst weaving their signature African vibes into every melodic fibre.  Big-band instrumentation, fused with the utter joy that naturally gushes from the culminative work of multiple band members, Osibisa, exude elation from every beat of their music – you can ‘t help but join in the pleasure party.

On their new album, original member Robert Bailey, and Osibisa Veteran, Gregg Kofi Brown, are back on board; along with dynamic new faces and their first ever female members. 

'New Dawn' is a diverse, dynamic collection of tracks, all underpinned by the original Osibisa afrobeat vibe that their then lead Teddie Osei brought to the UK over half a century ago.
