Teddy Osei of Osibisa fame to be honored with state funeral on April 4

The Legacy of Osibisa

Osibisa was a groundbreaking Afro-rock band that emerged in the 1970s, known for their unique blend of traditional African rhythms and Western rock music.

Teddy Osei was born on December 1, 1937, in Kumasi, Ghana’s second-largest city. In 1969, Osei co-founded Osibisa with fellow Ghanaian musicians Sol Amarfio and Mac Tontoh. Let us unite in giving this international superstar a rousing send-off befitting his legacy.

The Birth of Osibisa

Osibisa was formed in London in 1969 by a group of musicians from Ghana, Nigeria, and the UK. The band’s name, Osibisa, is derived from the Ghanaian word osi, meaning to be or to exist, and bisa, meaning to be or to exist in the Akan language.

Teddy Osei was more than a musician; he was a visionary who used his talent to bridge cultures and bring joy to audiences across continents.
