Osibisa, who anticipated many of the features of the worldbeat sound, cover a lot of ground on this lengthy set - maybe too much for some tastes. Sometimes the material gets close to traditional African music in its rhythms and chanting; at others, it nearly treads on jazz fusion territory, though not in a bad way. And while Osibisa singer and t Teddy Osei says in the liner notes that the band wasn't influenced by Santana, the Afro-Latin rhythms and chant-style vocals in some of the songs certainly remind you of Santana, though again not in an objectionable fashion.

Album · 1976 · 13 Songs. Black Magic Night (Live).

Strangely enough, Osibisa waited for some nine studio before releasing their first live album. The good thing about this double live album is that it can make an excellent intro to Osibisa for the proghead.
