Well over a decade before Paul Simon's GRACELAND and the US/UK breakthroughs of King Sunny Ade and Fela Kuti, the African group Osibisa was well-known to mainstream rock audiences. This was especially true in England, where Osibisa's releases on hip then-indie labels Island and Virgin, complete with the period's de rigueur Roger Dean sleeve artwork, found wide acceptance among the rock cognoscenti. All of this translated into genuine popular success when 1974's charming, infectious single "The Coffee Song" became a much-played UK radio hit. SUNSHINE DAY: THE VERY BEST OF OSIBISA collects 28 of the group's classic Afropop tunes on three CDs, each around 40 minutes in length. "The Coffee Song" may be the band's best-known track, but all of these songs are exciting, potent African pop, from the exhilarating title track to the hypnotic, powerful "Africa We Go Go." African music novices will find Osibisa an excellent start.
