With an explosive on-stage vibrance and charisma, the likes of which had never been experienced before outside of Ghana, Osibisa, became an instant success. Audiences flocked to become part of the Osibisa live movement of utter elation. During these early times, Osei's band of musical joy-makers, captured the attention of other musicians of the day. The likes of The Rolling Stones, Paul McCartney, Stevie Wonder, Carlos Santana were mesmerised by the roof-lifting ability of Osibisa, and all sought advice and mentorship from Osei. They enjoyed gleaning tips on how to ignite their own live performances with the dazzling energy created by Osibisa. By the mid '70s, Osibisa's enigmatic momentum had bubbled to the surface of mainstream, and UK chart hits followed including Dance The Body Music and the iconic Sunshine Day.
Osibisa have played on many international tours, including Europe, India, Japan, Australia, South Africa and the United States. Their hit song Superfly Man appears in the award winning movie BOYHOOD.
Today the band still record new music and continue to tour spreading the love for their special brand of infectious Afro Rock music.
