Rock Village – 17th and 18th August 2012
OSIBISA at Rock Village 2012
Organizers of the Rock Village festival have confirmed they are having the final talks on the arrival of the famous band to Banatski Sokolac. Their performance is taking place on Saturday, August 18th at 22h. This will be the unique chance for all of us, fans of the Rock Village festival, to enjoy for two hours in the music of the band which left lots of trace playing funk, soul rock and afro music. We can barely wait to dance and sing together at their greatest hit Sunshine Day.
Formed in London in 1969 by three Ghanaian and three Caribbean musicians, Osibisa played a central role in developing an awareness of African music among European and North American audiences in the 70s. The Ghanaian founder members of Osibisa - Teddy Osei (saxophone), Sol Amarfio (drums) and Mac Tontoh, Teddy's brother (trumpet) - were seasoned members of the Accra highlife scene before they moved to London to launch their attack on the world stage.
