It’s been more than a decade since the mighty OSIBISA released fresh music. This ensemble have a special place in the heart of every music aficionado, because they used to venture beyond Afro-rock and grace the prog pastures as well, to an extent where Roger Dean designed an arresting array of album covers for the band. Still, the trademark flying elephant won’t be featured on “New Dawn” – a futuristic record scheduled for release on March 5th, 2021 and showcased last September in London. Driven now by two original members, saxophonist Teddy Osei and keyboard player Robert Bailey, and veteran guitarist/bassist Gregg Kofi Brown, the new line-up boasts – for the first time ever – female artists, with guests including such luminaries as Gus Isidore and Richard Bailey.
