Osibisa - Superfly Man
Review by rierie_ destiny
Superfly Man is an album that showcases the unique blend of African rhythms and funk music that Osibisa is known for. The band's signature sound is evident throughout the album, with high-energy percussion and groovy basslines that will get listeners moving.
The album opens with the title track, "Superfly Man," which sets the tone for what's to come with its upbeat tempo and infectious melodies. Other standout tracks include "Dance the Body Music," which features a catchy chorus and a funky guitar riff, and "Beautiful Seven," which showcases the band's expert musicianship with its intricate instrumental sections.
Throughout the album, Osibisa's use of traditional African instruments like the talking drum and the shekere add depth and texture to the music, creating a truly unique listening experience. The vocals are also noteworthy, with lead singer Mac Tontoh's soulful voice perfectly complementing the band's funky sound.
