Description:
Released on MCA Records, this double-sided single from Osibisa, the pioneering Ghanaian Afro-rock band, merges high-energy African rhythms with rock, funk, and soul elements. “Pata Pata” (not to be confused with Miriam Makeba’s hit) emphasizes danceable percussion, syncopated horn lines, and layered guitar motifs, while “Jumbo” leans into progressive Afro-rock with complex rhythmic interplay and exuberant vocal harmonies. Both tracks exemplify Osibisa’s mission of bridging African musical traditions with global pop and funk.

Osibisa’s recordings, including “Jumbo,” have influenced worldbeat, disco, and funk musicians and have been referenced in compilations exploring Afro-funk and rare grooves.
