Celebration - The Best Of Osibisa CD (1994) (Import) Australia

African Flight album

$14.95

Long before the term world music was a twinkle in anyone's ear, there was Osibisa -- a Ghanaian name meaning "criss-cross rhythms exploding with happiness" (a big phrase for a small word). But the mix of musicians from Ghana, Britain, and the Caribbean exploded on the English scene, scoring a massive hit with the catchy, danceable "Sunshine Day" and opening ears to their mix of highlife, prog rock, and reggae -- prior to them the only mix of African music and rock had come with an obscure collaboration of Steve Winwood with some West African artists. But Osibisa crossed over in a big way, not only finding the charts, but also the more open student audience with songs like "Celebration" and "Make Everybody ...

Osibisa Ojah Awake CD (1976) (Import) Australia

African Flight CD music

$14.99

Osibisa's eighth album in only five years, 1976's Ojah Awake was the Ghanaian Afro-poppers' commercial high point in their adopted home of Great Britain. Though the band had a strong cult following throughout their career, this big-selling album spawned two big hits: the Brazilian-flavored "The Coffee Song" (a '40s novelty song that had previously been recorded by the Andrews Sisters, Rosemary Clooney, and, improbably, Frank Sinatra) and the disco-tinged groover "Dance the Body Music." As might be imagined, then, this is Osibisa's most slickly commercial record, with Gerry Bron's glossy production smoothing out the free jazz influences that had peeked around the corners of earlier Osibisa gems like Woyaya. (It's telling that as "purer" West African highlife artists like King Sunny Ade started showing up on U.K./U.S. cultural radar, Osibisa's critical reputation plummeted.) That said, in no way does Ojah Awake feel like a sellout move; Teddy Osei and company keep the rock and funk influences as a flavoring, not a main dish, and the exciting, potent highlife of the title track ...

Jaared Hang Time CD (2002)

African Flight songs

$12.59

Earl Carter, Ken Navarro, Peter White (guitar); Lorenzo Sands, Carl Lester-El, Samba Diop (bass); Jay Jay Williams, Kevin "Stixx" Marshall (drums); Eddie Montalvo (percussion). This elegant and funky follow-up to the saxman's debut Foreward carries the cool vibe of that disc to deeper extremes while also showing a richer diversity in the veteran saxman's artistry. Jaared's chief alto sax influence is David Sanborn, and he's been inspired in recent years by Nelson Rangell. Yet going back further, he's a huge fan of legends like Ace Cannon, Boots Randolph, and Stan Getz. He delves into a bit of fusion and even bebop on "Searchlight." There's a colorful Latin flavor on "Ibizi," written by keyboardist and label founder Marcus Johnson about an island off the coast of Spain (the track features guitarist Ken Navarro). The previous year, Jaared had been doing numerous Midwest and East Coast dates with guitarist Peter White, and this joyful experience is reflected in "Happy Time," a spirited light funk gem featuring ...

Green Mountain Rebels If It Don't Shine CD (2007)

African Flight songs

$16.45
'Green Mountain Rebels' 'If It Don't Shine' - Genre: 'Alt/Country' - Release Date: '2007' Our Rating: 8/10 When you hear the name Green Mountain Rebels (http://www.gmrebels.com), your imagination is probably conjuring up some hillbilly combo. In that case, you'd be half-right. The Green Mountain Rebels certainly sound authentic when they draw upon that classic country sound; however, they also go beyond Americana cliches and sink their feet wholeheartedly into the blues, a combination that shakes the shack with whiskey-fueled, God-fearing passion.Oddly enough, the Green Mountain Rebels' biggest influence may well be the Doors. Jered Shaw's throaty baritone ...
