Osibisa Swing From the Jungle
David Hughes, Disc and Music Echo, 29 May 1971
OSIBISA – the name is now on the lips of everyone just as we prophesied. The criss-cross rhythms are exploding with happiness right across the country, and if ever you want to get high – but naturally – all you have to do is see them play, hear their music or simply be in their presence!
