This song is a time machine for me,it takes me back to 1973, just got released from the army in Hungary. Late night, crowded bar next to the Danube river, this song was played 5 times for popular demand. That was the start for my best years. God bless Osibisa, God bless africa.
Jesus . . . for me it was Nairobi, staying at one of my father's friend's houses. I was on holiday from British boarding school (but I'm American.) And I was actually living in Zaire (now DR Congo). I think my brother bought this album because we loved Yes, and Roger Dean had done both Ye and Osibisa's cover art. Later, I was to paint the cover onto my bedroom wall in Dakar. Here I am, in 1975 with the painting behind me, with a copy of the album cover below: 1.bp.blogspot.com/-CkXQTAEbxCE/VjdT63B8BBI/AAAAAAAAHjQ/JHnBz2l6aJc/s1600/painting.jpg
I had the chance to be in the studio when they recorded it. It was amazing 'cause I never heard anything like that before. I will never forget that moment.
I heard this song when one LP record costed roughly half months salary of an agricultural worker. Only a few could afford record player. I was longing to hear this song some where some time during early 70s. Thanks to legendary trumpeter Teddy Osi and his band , I still hear this song with the same appreciation i had 50 years before
I saw Osibisa in Canberra, Australia in 1975. I was going out with a Nigerian student at the time and they were friends of his. We all spent a wild night together. I absolutely love this song. It can easily bring me to tears.
To me this is one of the most beautiful songs ever written. A song of hope, of humbleness, a song for never giving up. It brings tears to my eyes. Thank you so much for posting.
We are going.. Heaven knows where we are going. We will get there, Heaven knows how we will get there.. We know we will.. To anyone listening to this fantastic masterpiece, the message is simple.. "NEVER GIVE UP IN LIFE" the road may be muddy and rough but you'll get there.. Rest Well proud sons of Mama Africa and Ghana... 2020 has been a very bad year.. Regardless, we will get there..
i have had Art Garfunkel's Angel Clare for so many years and just today at Christmas 2021 i have finally got round to listening to Osibisa's original version!
Forgotten how good they were, which is odd since they were my heroes. We were sharing the top billing with them, and I got to join them on stage. All my dreams came true, not only that, I fell in love with Zembi, one of their backing singers, and ended up living with her.
OSIBISA & 'Woyaya'.... What a GREAT Band from the early 70's. First heard them from friends when in London in 71-72, fell in love with their happy, spiritual, rhythmic lyrics and beats. 'Wayaya' to me, was their best. Proud to know that Robert Bailey of T&T, was a part of this group. Have not heard their music since mid 70's. Reminds me a lot of Andre Tanker's music as well. Thanks Osibisa for the music, blessings to you all.
I went to see Osibisa as soon as I landed back in England...I'm supposedly English but lived in the Middle East for most my life, at that time. I was 14. I never felt like I'd returned "home" at all and when I heard this and felt their spiritual love and life, it was so beautiful. Thank you., you were and are amazing.I so deeply appreciated hearing "Woyaya".I'd just been evacuated from a war torn country and lost my beautiful mother.
I was playing this song on a loud speaker at the Tempelhofer Feld and one old man approached me. Where are you from and I said GHANA. He said wow.. I know this song when they came to Newcastle. I started crying 😢.
Had such a brilliant time with these guys when they invited us back to their motel for a few drinks and a meal after they played Founders Theatre, Hamilton, New Zealand back around 1974/5.
The rock group Greta Van Fleet just played a verse or two of this the other night as part of an acoustic feature at their Nashville, Tennessee, show on July 24th, 2023. Their singer (one of 3 biological brothers in the band along with an “adopted” brother, the drummer) loves world music from the 70s, including Mother Africa, Miriam Makeba.❤
this song brings memories of the good old days (particularly, the Osofo Dadzie show back home in Ghana) and always bring tears to my eyes each time i listen.............a masterpiece!!!! Great Osibisa!!!!!!!!!
Is I is a came to my thoughts today after 9 hours of construction work. I found woyaya here on this channel. Mahalo! Thank you!. The album reserved alot of radio airplay back in 1972 in Honolulu, Hawaii, where I'm a native of. Guess, I was 11,12 years old. It was great then and its still great now.
I loved this song Woyaya in 1971 when Osibisa personally gave me the lp "Osibisa" when they were in The Hague. I loved it then and I it still gives me goosebumps today (and of course singing my heart out with them)!
This song reminds me of the struggle of the soul defeating the minds treacherous hold The confidence of faith and experience in meditation on the sound current Lost our mum in 1971 this band lifted up our spirits... Woyaya Woya Eh Radha Soami
The Song that connects the Brain, Spirit, Body and Soul together. The Song that awakens my spirit and thoughts. The song that gives me hope, Strength and Faith. I shed tears whenever this song is played. I don't know if I'm the only one. My Best Ghanaian Song of all time, if not Africa. It's 2020 and I'm Still Here::: Let's Love One Another. Long Live Osibisa
@@Candywine970 Gone,my friend. Gone 😌 .... along with the many good people who have a hand in the memories, and the tears we shed when the memories come flooding 😔😔 🎶it will be hard we know,and the road will be muddy and rough but we'll get there... heaven knows how we will get there. We know we will. 🎶 It is well 😔😌🇬🇭
My parents used to play this album on vinyl when I was kid. Great times! I wish I was born in 50s and have witnessed all the great music of 70s and 80s!
What a masterpiece .This song became a household song for all kids in Ghana because of osofo dadzie. Thanks for their dedication for promoting this song.
first heard about osibisa during my school days in 1975 in a function, and finally got the entire album thru my friends in college. Still love the songs, use mostly while long driving, even shared with my friends...
Men I just listened to the song, its a real Great songs and as I listen to it, it brings memories of when we were young and had Great ambitions. Lets reconnect people
This song is one of the most beautiful songs ever I heard again Osibisa Woyaya bought in 1971 when it first came out. It made me feel at home in Africa. Listen to all the different musical instruments and sounds of voices and human made sounds. I never heard so much love and music like this before. Truly amazing. Big up to all in making this song.
Oh boy, this song reminds me being a teenager and 4 of us hitchhiking on a sunny highway surrendered by rolling hills and beautiful very green forrest throwing the frisbee across this 2 lane road and just laughing and smiling feeling very FREE.
My beloved dad passed away a year ago today. Australia is in lockdown so we are having a celebration of his life a year on via zoom. I was on YT trying to find some music to play and recognised this cover! He loved Osibisa! I was only five or six but the memories came flooding back! Thank you for uploading this! Beyond grateful 🙏🏾
This was my first Osibisa album, even though there was one (I think) before it. I was captivated by the Roger Dean cover art of the flying Elephant even before I had heard their music. From the opening jungle sounds of Beautiful Seven through to the haunting lyrics of Woyaya, I was a captive. The strength of the drums, the driving bass, the brass, keyboards, it was all magical! When the band came to Australia I went to the Melbourne concert twice and it was one of the most exciting nights of my life. Osibisa came ALIVE on the stage and even better than their records, which I still own. Woyaya - the promise of a life that is better than what we have now. Is it a new homeland, or is it heaven above? Anyway, it's a future that we can all look forward to. Thank you for sharing this beautiful song.
Also for me this song-prayer is a time machine for me, it takes me back to the 70s' memories of the university and my friends from that time, especially my dear and great friend-brother Willy ... Wow !!! what times, what expariencias of youth. Thanks The JPDM
Cette chanson passait à la radio les matins dans les années 70. On l'entendait sur le chemin de l'école à Cocody-Abidjan..... Mes plus grands respects ..... OSBISA grands musiciens chanteurs talentueux que le Ghana et l'Afrique aient jamais connu.....
Born & bred in a British Protectorate Southern Rhodesia at that time - Britain in the sun & wild ...then Northern Rhodesia - halcyon days of Sadsa & brisket & onions next to huge dugout trench fireplace in ground outside Fernando & Mary's khaya...being told African folklore stories by Fernando...whilst he ironed my dad's army uniform (he was our Housekeeper)...what a wonderful man - often wonder what happened to him... The indigeny - Shona, Ndebele, Zulu, Zambian, Mozambican, Swahili...showed this little malungu what true African ubuntu ("I AM because YOU are") was in all it's generosity... Then 1961 my parents moved to the Union which was SA...Cape Town... From mans humanity to his fellow man it took on the form of mans' inhumanity to his fellow man in the form of the hateful Apartheid system...
Back in the late 80s, bought this album in a used record store for the Roger Dean artwork. What a treat to drop it on the turntable and find all these gems! Wonderful, wonderful music. Wish I had caught it when it was new. My younger life may have been different. :)
Wooow finally got this song here. So it’s already 52 years but it such a great masterpiece. I used to listen to it back in Cantata days when I was young. It brings so many memories
La primera vez que escuche esta banda fue por casualidad, porque la caratula llamo mi atencion.....yo pense : si la dibujo Roger Dean, la musica tiene que ser buena y compre el album y por supuesto que no me equivoque.... corria el año 1974 y yo tenia 15 años.......todavia lo conservo en mi coleccion.....un saludo desde mi maltratada Venezuela.
respect Peter, but no way. Merriam Makeba "Pata Pata", and Hugh Masekela "Grazin in the Grass" were huge hits in the U.S. and worldwide in '65-'66. And this is my favorite sing by one of my favorite bands. Saw Osibisa at the spectrum in Philly in '72-'73, all 7 members of the band jumped on the drums at one point. So funky that when headliner came on (think it was War) the crowd was still chanting Osi-bisa,Osi-bisa. Incredible
Always like to listen to it... triggers memories from my teenager time... :) - and makes me a bit sad, because in Germany I had that on an old vinyl record which got lost when I emigrated... :(
We are going Heaven knows where we are going We know we will We are going Heaven knows where we are going We know we will We will get there Heaven knows how we will get there We know we will It will be hard we know And the road will be muddy and rough But we'll get there Heaven knows how we will get there We know we will It will be hard we know And the road will be muddy and rough But we'll get there Heaven knows how we will get there We know we will It will be hard we know And the road will be muddy and rough But we'll get there Heaven knows how we will get there We know we will Woyaya ...
It's 2023 and I'm still listening to this. This is a spiritual song and always brings tears to my eyes.
Best song … 2024 who’s here
This song is a time machine for me,it takes me back to 1973, just got released from
the army in Hungary. Late night, crowded bar next to the Danube river, this song was

Osibisa, God bless africa.

Waooh👍👍👍
Thanks alot for appreciating this group from my country Ghana
Wow just wow
Jesus . . . for me it was Nairobi, staying at one of my father's friend's houses. I was on holiday from British boarding school (but I'm American.) And I was actually living in Zaire (now DR Congo). I think my brother bought this album because we loved Yes, and Roger Dean had done both Ye and Osibisa's cover art.
Later, I was to paint the cover onto my bedroom wall in Dakar. Here I am, in 1975 with the painting behind me, with a copy of the album cover below:

True
So True.
Ever green, everlasting
My Dad it's in hospital right now, we're facing cancer, this song makes me have hope & faith that things will go well
My dad just passed in the hospital from cancer and asked for this song too, I hope things worked out for you
We will get there...we know we will
We are going.. Heaven knows where we are going.
We will get there, Heaven knows how we will get there.. We know we will..
To anyone listening to this fantastic masterpiece, the message is simple.. "NEVER GIVE UP IN LIFE" the road may be muddy and rough but you'll get there..
Rest Well proud sons of Mama Africa and Ghana...
2020 has been a very bad year..
Regardless, we will get there..
And 2020 become one of the worst year in history with COVID-19
Remember this when I was a boy in elementary school.
Please don't just narrow it down to Africa, we are all one people.
I suffer from the bipolar 11 disorder and sing this using 'I' instead of 'we' - it helps me a lot.
I also love Art Garfunkel's version
try playing with yer nasty snatch while humming this orgasmic tune-try it please!!!
@@jefferychamberlain9808 pure fkn shit bag
More power to you. Have courage. And you will get there. Osibisa knew so.
i have had Art Garfunkel's Angel Clare for so many years and just today at Christmas 2021 i have finally got round to listening to Osibisa's original version!

@@niiarmarh7768are you correct? What sort of stup*d comment is that.
Ghana 🇬🇭.. it’s 2022 and am back here to listen to such a masterpiece 😩
Honestly,after almost fifty years,this song is still relevant.
I went to see Osibisa as soon as I landed back in England...I'm supposedly English but lived in the Middle East for most my life, at that time. I was 14. I never felt like I'd returned "home" at all and when I heard this and felt their spiritual love and life, it was so beautiful.

I still have the 3 original albums. I listen to even today. I get the same feelings renewed as in the 70’s. Music lives.
Saw them in Brighton about 40 years ago. Changed my musical tastes forever.
My first love when it’s comes to music! God bless Africa
Muddy and rough,but we'll get there.👬
I was playing this song on a loud speaker at the Tempelhofer Feld and one old man approached me. Where are you from and I said GHANA. He said wow.. I know this song when they came to Newcastle. I started crying 😢.
👌😁😁😁 wonderful
And Lacazette an Aubameyang 😁
like the first bird 🥰
Indeed, we're going somewhere. Hmmm this song always brings tears to my eyes. Rest on Osibisa. Listening in May 2019
Had such a brilliant time with these guys when they invited us back to their motel for a few drinks and a meal after they played Founders Theatre, Hamilton, New Zealand back around 1974/5.

I was there and shocked when they went into this
U know all :)
My love for Santana led me to Osibisa in 1973. Ironic that African-influenced latin-rock led me to the roots!
this song brings memories of the good old days (particularly, the Osofo Dadzie show back home in Ghana) and always bring tears to my eyes each time i listen.............a masterpiece!!!! Great Osibisa!!!!!!!!!

Hearing this for the first time. In lockdown thanks to Coronavirus April 2020. The world will never be the same.
Every Osibisa song gives you goosebumps.
I used to sing this to my grumpy old running partner Ed Fisher at the start of marathons...I loved the song & how he used to cuss me out. Miss you Ed.
What a masterpiece .This song became a household song for all kids in Ghana because of osofo dadzie. Thanks for their dedication for promoting this song.
❤😂I was overseas in Germany, when I first got introduced to one of the Greatest bands I have ever heard
This song lives in my heart always ever since I first heard it when I was 4 or 5. I still have the vinyl album - its one of my greatest treasures
Only just discovered this song. Where have i been? OMG..❤❤❤
Wonderful song! Never heard this band before... I love their african progressive sound!
This great band deserves much credit for bringing the African sound to the North American market. Ah, 70's > Beautiful 70's.
first heard about osibisa during my school days in 1975 in a function, and finally got the entire album thru my friends in college. Still love the songs, use mostly while long driving, even shared with my friends...
A song of struggle from our African cousins, like the civil rights songs sang by Dr. King and others during the hard days.
Thumbs up all listening to we are going up till now 2020. Long live Osibisa ✌❤

Such a masterpiece. Listening to this from 2021. I wish musicians these days could make such classical music.💕🥺
saw osibisa live in 1973 in London still love woyaya always will
This was my first Osibisa album, even though there was one (I think) before it. I was captivated by the Roger Dean cover art of the flying Elephant even before I had heard their music. From the opening jungle sounds of Beautiful Seven through to the haunting lyrics of Woyaya, I was a captive. The strength of the drums, the driving bass, the brass, keyboards, it was all magical! When the band came to Australia I went to the Melbourne concert twice and it was one of the most exciting nights of my life.

Is it a new homeland, or is it heaven above? Anyway, it's a future that we can all look forward to. Thank you for sharing this beautiful song.
Indeed this song is so spiritual.
My very first album back in the seventies...How appropriate in these challenging times..Inspiring.
Also for me this song-prayer is a time machine for me, it takes me back to the 70s' memories of the university and my friends from that time, especially my dear and great friend-brother Willy ...
Wow !!! what times, what expariencias of youth.
Thanks The JPDM
When I was a child...I used to watch my father listen to this...I couldn't appreciate it then but I do now. Classic. We will get there
My ultimate gym music. We will get there. Heaven knows how. The road will be mudy and rough but we will get there. #Motivation.

saw them live in Hamburg - loved the albums and covers... good times indeed
Saw them in 1972 at the Queens Hotel Westcliff (Southend, Essex) (since burnt down)... I can remember that show like it was yesterday!
Loved this back in the day. I was around 11 years old and my parents bought this album.
me too. mom would dance to it by herself. she was a dancer. this was a very important album
Bought the LP when it first came out - still put it on the turntable on a regular basis
Takes me back to 1973. God bless Africa
Yes Stan ...YES God bless Africa
I first heard this song in 1971 when I returned home from vietnam
+Aldred Warren wow i guess im the only 15 year old that listens to this, my dad let me hear this when i was 4 and since then this song gives me hope
Nice song from the group, It reminds me of Osofo Dadzie group
Born & bred in a British Protectorate Southern Rhodesia at that time - Britain in the sun & wild ...then Northern Rhodesia - halcyon days of Sadsa & brisket & onions next to huge dugout trench fireplace in ground outside Fernando & Mary's khaya...being told African folklore stories by Fernando...whilst he ironed my dad's army uniform (he was our Housekeeper)...what a wonderful man - often wonder what happened to him...

So funky that when headliner came on (think it was War) the crowd was still chanting Osi-bisa,Osi-bisa. Incredible
@@jeffjacksonylb first big african hit was SKOKIAAN. Then ZAMBESI. Then TOM HARK.
I've sung this several times this year with virtual choirs - so appropriate at the moment
Post a video then and quit talking about it everywhere
One of the best songs ever. Beautiful lyrics from a fantastic group. Listen to Art Garfunkels version from the record Angel Clare, incredible.
It had reminds in my early time when i was studying music it had motivated me so much mainly the lyrics.
Ushering 2019 with this wonderful so. Ooh what a wonderful message
Also covered by the Fifth Dimension. So, I put both versions in my 5D playlist. Thanks for the upload!
Such a beautiful song ! There's so much life inside, something missing in the songs they write nowadays.
Fantastica musica degli Osibisa molto ritmica e molto professionali siete tutti Bravi ciao !!!!!!!
Like sunshine to flowers... so life affirming so beautiful...
I just discovered these guys for the first time. I am quite pleased :) .... Their album artwork reminds me of YES
Time machine. Rocking it in the 2020's and beyond.God be your helper
What a wonderful song! It is so uplifting!!! Cheers to Osibisa!!!!!!!
I still have 3 LP:s of great O.S.I.B.I.S.A. . I will never sell my Soul of Africa. ..
Beautifull Seven for Ya`ALL - L.O.V.E.
Always like to listen to it... triggers memories from my teenager time... :) - and makes me a bit sad, because in Germany I had that on an old vinyl record which got lost when I emigrated... :(
Thanks for leaving this heritage, you are a hero. This song connect the whole body
ecouter WOYAYA de OSIBISA rappelle notre jeunesse estudiantine ; ce groupe fait la fierté de la musique africaine vue sa reprise par différents .
To my Dad....great memories...
Met these beautiful people in Surfers Paradise 1976, very cool dudes!
