Osibisa

Artist: Osibisa

LP: Osibisa

Song: "Oranges"

[ listen ]

Here's something wonderful and orange for a sunny Seattle morning that features early hints of the crisp coolness of autumn. "Oranges" is from "British Afro-pop band" Osibisa's self-titled 1971 debut LP; they've been making music ever since, as you can see here. Sadly, I just read on the group's official website that Osibisa trumpet and flugelhorn player Mac Tontoh died last week. You can find his obituary on the Modern Ghana website here.

ps. Yes, that's Roger Dean's artwork on the cover.
