Osibisa – Woyaya

Osibisa, a London band of West African and Caribbean musicians, mixed highlife with rock, and their 1971 second album is the most rock-friendly route onto this list. The title track is a gentle, chant-like anthem with a melody you can sing after one hearing, while Beautiful Seven shows the band's guitars and horns in livelier interplay. Choose it if you come from 1970s rock.
