Welcome Home

One of the first African-led bands to break into the British mainstream, Osibisa helped define the sound of Afro-rock in 1970s Europe. Formed in London by Ghanaian saxophonist Teddy Osei, the group fused highlife traditions with rock, jazz, funk, soul, and psychedelic influences—creating a vibrant, globally resonant sound. Welcome Home (1975) marked the band’s debut for Bronze Records and a new creative chapter under manager-producer Gerry Bron, capturing Osibisa at a pivotal moment of crossover success. The album includes the enduring hit “Sunshine Day,” a joyous, feel-good anthem that remains one of the band’s most beloved tracks. This 50th-anniversary edition arrives on stunning 180g “Psychedelic Splatter” special-effect vinyl.
