I was blessed to be in Accra Ghana in 2024 and be taught this hauntingly beautiful song by one of Ghana’s young, natural musicians named Enoch Effah. I will remember and cherish this song forever. ❤thank you to the Beautiful people of Ghana❤
Last year we were at training school on 6th march we were asked to perform in groups about Ghana's independence and a group of ladies did a play about slavery and how Ghana had our independence singing this song and it was beautiful there were tears in my eyes and I thought there's hope for Ghana, there's hope for Africa. #God bless our homeland Ghana and make our nation great and strong.
I saw them perform twice in Germany during the early seventies at that time of unrest it was a soothing balm for us all. They stood for peace, love and healing...More than ever now we need this - so all you young people take it, sing it, dance it and remember"We will get here"...
GHANA SHINES IN ALL GENRES AND WILL CONTINUE TO SHINE IN ALL GENRES. HAVE YOU HEARD ABOUT HARMONIOUS CHORALE WIN WORLD CHOIR OLYMPIC GOLD IN SOUTH AFRICA RECENTLY?????
@@Tu51ndBl4d3 we are ghanaians and proud. We keep our culture and way of life. Yes ....some behave as though the ghanaian culture is trash....but we are still ghanaians who strive to maintain our culture and heritage. Look at such great people as Ambuley, Nana Ampedu, A B Crentsil and in recent times Lumba, Kwodjo Antwi etc. We continue to soar high
@@frankokyere2308 Ah, but are you serious? The commenter above was referring to Ghanaian music now and you are here mentioning old artistes. Mention one Ghanaian musician who is relevant today who fully embraces the Ghanaian culture. This is the problem with Ghanaians, you will never admit your own BS and make changes.
Now just appreciate where Ghana and Africa would have been without all the disruptions over year. We weren't far away from any other western country but now look at us. What a setback,!!!
Sometimes when you listen to songs like this, you then ask yourself where will I be after here. We will get there one day. By the hook or by the crook we will get there.
I'm so happy to see this. I wasn't born during this era but I still love osibisa. As a ghanaian who is half Greek through marriage, this makes me happy😍💑
Mom was admitted at korle bu hospital. While i was with her, a girl was brought from theatre with her 2 legs chopped off and she was singing this song none stop. Few minutes she died singing this song and i can't stop thinking and crying over this event. Indeed we will all surely get there and heaven knows. RIP MAGGIE u were a strong girl
Osibisa come and look at your Ghana music you paved a way for Ghanaian artistes and musicians are now doing other genre of music instead of HIGHLIFE music. You guys will forever be the greatest Ghana has ever had
if this song was an inspirational one for the African continent... then the muddy and rough roads was spot on.. we are trekking really muddy and rough roads these days.. but we will get there. eventually...
This song is a timeless piece. It's centre on hope in the uncertainty. Our current musicians needs to revisit the good old days when music wasn't all about complex rhymes and rhythm but about simple tunes and lyrics that spoke to the human race.
Actually got here after watching @Wiyaala's version. God Bless Ghana. No other place but Ghana. Lets make it better Long Live Great Osibisa Legacy.. Valentine2020
This album has sustained me; helped get me through time and again! My all-time favorite album by anybody ever. I still listen to THE ENTIRE ALBUM a couple times a week-- I have thousands of vinyl, and a few thousand CD's also. There is no album I have played half as much. Still enjoy it. 48 years now and it still sounds great! God bless Teddy Osei!
@@awuduabdulsaamd6497 The album is "Woyaya", by OSIBISA(1971). I've been listening to it regularly now for 48 years! I never get tired of hearing it. My favorite album of all time.
@@THE-HammerMan Me too, Matthew... since it was published. Amazing, extraordinary, beautiful album. I'm in love with Woyaya. And I have thousands of vinyls, cd's, mp3, cassettes and so on...
@@juliomurillo1832 Wow! Way cool; I'll bet you have plenty of fine albums and some that I don't have. After their 2009 release, who dreamed Osibisa would make another album of new material in 2021(July)? The legend lives on! Osibisa never made many radio-friendly top 40 hit type songs; never made it "Big"; stuck to making the kind of music they wanted to. I respect that. They played countless fund raiser, charity & free concerts for the common man(people). In their own way they are as "Big" as any band ever- and did much more than most for the community & people at large. God Bless You, and keep your family and friends safe & healthy!🎵👍🙏😎
Im Nigerian and I got to know if this song from a ghanian content creator and I loved it immediately since yesterday this place I've been my favorite spot on UA-cam.
This is the most ever greatest song in Ghana's music industry .. Since my childhood I have listening to this music till now ... wow God bless Osibisa group. Whenever I listening to this music I felt sad .. very emotional music .
Listen to the whole album, Mon! [BTW: This was their best LP, but all are good & worth buying! Get "greatest hits" CD...and then you will want them all!]
Thanks very much for this great team. I love this song for it revives in me the reason for my presence on this earth plane and the need to soar high up in Life. I would listen to it each now and then God richly bless you Osibasa group for I love you all!!
I have just been introduced to this song. Thanks to 'Africa Day' celebrations yesterday. I can't stop listening to it and each time I can't stop my tears..Beautiful message!
I was brought up on these. My dad loves osibisa and we still have the LPs. Listening to these war the staple thing on Sundays. I remembered this song during Covid lockdown and was humming, decided to check on UA-cam.. Its like a shot of oxygen
If you are still listening to this song in 2024, much love. #GHANA #OSIBISA
Incase you find this video in 3000 and the following years to come know that we once existed 😢😢😢
😢😢😢
May the spirit of our forefathers protect the next generation and generations to come for us😭🙏🙇♀️🇬🇭
May our generations be G THE GREAT
May our ancestors be blessed
Why do I feel more emotional knowing well that we won't be here for long 😢😢
In Ghanaian Akan dialect we say “the tongue of a man never rots “. This is a perfect example. This music will still be alive till eternity.
Timeless piece.
Till till man ❤️
I Love Jah All !!!!! 🎉

Am touched by this song but the saddest part is most of our generation dont know about osibisa
YEAH
I wish there was a young cover band to play remastered versions of their songs to keep them alive. This is actual GOLD!
The real ones will know. 😉
All todays generation know is stupidity n its sad. I just cannot stand today's generation.
@@francisdanso866 fwgk
Whenever I feel down,broken and sad I just listen to this song
True my brother... Same with me
Very inspirational and predictive. Heaven knows
Ghana has a produce renowned great musicians across the globe
OUR NATION GHANA, THOUGH SMALL IN GEOGRAPHIC SIZE REALLY PUNCHES ABOVE OUR WEIGHT IN ALL ASPECTS OF LIFE.
@@jakebaba2149 Ghana will never re achieve this. ever. unless you go back to being ghanaians and stop trying to be americans or british people
