    Teddy Osei was a trailblazer in the Afro-pop genre, founding the globally recognised band, Osibisa, in 1969.

    The band fused traditional African music with rock, jazz, and funk, creating a unique and influential sound which remains relevant to this day.

    He reportedly died on the morning of Tuesday, January 14, 2025.

    Here are five (5) key takeaways from the life and career of Teddy Osei as compiled by GhanaWeb:

    Early life:

    Born in Kumasi, Osei was introduced to musical instruments as a child and began playing the saxophone while forming a band with his college friends at Sekondi.

    His early exposure to music and traditional instruments shaped his musical journey.

    First career:

    Teddy Osei who studied draughtsmanship, worked as a building inspector in Ghana for a year.

    While working, he formed a band called “The Comets.” The band enjoyed a brief popularity in Ghana before Osei travelled to London in 1962 after receiving a grant by the government.

    Osibisa:

    After moving to London in 1962 and facing challenges, including the termination of his grant due to a regime change in Ghana, Osei formed Osibisa with other musicians.

    The group, formed in 1969, included musicians like Spartacus R, a West Indian with an unforgettable hairstyle; Wendell Richardson from the Carribeans; and Remi Kabaka, a drummer of legendary status.

    The band quickly gained popularity in the 1970s and became known for their high-energy performances.

    Impact:

    Osibisa‘s music resonated globally, with the band performing internationally and gaining a following in countries like India, Japan, Australia, and New Zealand.

    Their success showcased the global appeal of African music.

    Legacy:

    Despite facing setbacks, including the decline in popularity and the loss of band members, Osei and Osibisa continued to perform.

    Teddy Osei’s contributions to music have left a lasting legacy, inspiring new generations of musicians and highlighting the power of cultural fusion.
