[Pre Order] Osibisa - Ojah Awake - RSD Essential Indie LP *

Release Date: August 21, 2026

RSD Essential Indie Exclusive, 'Flying Saucer' Colored Vinyl, 180 Gram Vinyl

Pioneers of Afro-fusion, Osibisa return with a vibrant reissue of Ojah Awake (1976), celebrating the album’s 50th anniversary. Translating from Twi as “Fire Awake,” the record channels a powerful spiritual energy - an invitation to ignite the inner self through rhythm and movement. Originally released on the Bronze label (with producer Gerry Bron), this era of the band’s sound leans into a sleeker, more commercially polished production, seamlessly blending traditional highlife roots with the shimmering textures of disco.

This anniversary edition is pressed on striking 180g “Flying Saucer” special-effect vinyl. Bursting with infectious grooves and uplifting melodies, standout tracks like “Dance The Body Music” and “The Coffee Song” showcase Osibisa’s signature fusion of African rhythms and global appeal.
