Osumare are a group who play modern African music.
Osumare means "rainbow" in the Yoruba language from West Nigeria. Just like the colors of the rainbow, the band combines different African music styles to create their signature sound, which they call Osumare Beats. Osumare Beats blends African roots music with refined instrumentation and diverse lyrics, delivered in performances that always hold fans spellbound.
Osumare performs in concert halls across Europe and at major literary events, such as readings by Professor Wole Soyinka (the Nobel Prize Winner) in Germany. Osumare music has been described by the African Courier as an African Music Ambassador group. According to a review in the African Courier, Osumare Music is unique, with all the songs on their latest CD carrying thoughtful messages, while being highly danceable. Osumare music is a creative mix of African root percussion rhythms and chants, Afro jazz, juju music, highlife and Afro-beats.
