This song always makes me feel good. Saw the band at The Lyceum, Strand, London, 1970, they were fabulous, first tour in the UK I think, may have been supporting a band named Mighty Baby, not sure, or they may have headlined. They still going, played a set for kids & parents at Woolwich Poly School, SE London last year

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.

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. :)

I had this album in the 70's...I loved it. It has so much spirit in it! It's so great to hear it again.

Osibisa are a great group that brought memories onto me as a youth.

Their hit, Woyaya is an excellent song and comes from our comedy in Ghana, Osofo Dadzie and it is great that Osibisa inspired us with their track.

Osibisa are a great self-conscious roots and cultural group for our people across the globe.

Soha nem felejtem el a koncertjüket a Kisstadionban....csodálatos érzés volt..igazi örömzene amit művelnek....

[csizmaskandor]

@almuska0212 Azon sajnos nem voltam, de 12 éves koromban, a 70-es évek első felében, az egyik kedvencem volt ez a szám. Akkor kaptam életem első kazettás kismagnóját az NSzK-ban (ahová majdnem disszidáltunk, de hazajöttünk), és azon sokat hallgattam ezt.

[fffanSalala]

@csizmaskandor

nekem még apukám mesélte nagyon régen,hogy volt egy ilyen koncerten,de az azt hiszem,hogy Kecskeméten,mert ő odavalósi,és mondta,hogy ásványvizes palackokkal locsolták az embereket,mert nagyon meleg volt.Tudod,ő az a típus volt ,aki hirtelen mindent otthagyott,és kiment stoppolni a barátaival,és csak úgy belevetették magukat a semmibe,mert országszerte voltak ismerőseik.:) Szép gyerekkora volt.

[csizmaskandor]

@fffanSalala Akkoriban én is nekivágtam olykor így a világnak, de jobbára egyedül szerettem utazni, stoppolni. Üdv a faternak!

Was very lucky to see Osibisa live about 25 years ago in Auckland. Already had 2-3 of there albums. The live concert was mind blowing, even at my age.

[stepenwolf7]

I saw this band at the Dagenham Roundhouse about this time. As soon as they came on stage the whole place went wild. A truly brilliant band , lets hope we do get there  love and peace to you all

[fnf4ever1]

OSIBISA,cà date de l'époque où,Percusssionniste écoutant alternativement CREAM pour "Ginger" BAKER et Don CHERRY (album "Autumn" chez CBS),je pulsais mes drums avec autant d'énergie que d'humilité et encore aujourd'hui,moi aussi,j'ai les larmes aux yeux. Si je suis Blanc,pour moi,l'AFRIQUE,c'est la VIE!

[mikekgoroeadira]

First heard the song in 1972, doing grade 8. Long Live OSIBISA

[3on3off]

[ReksaR]

Nobody shall dislike this song! It's a song about reaching your goals in life!

[fapostle]

We are going..... Heaven knows where we are going......... We will know we're there....... 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.......... We are going Heaven knows where we are going ..........We will know we're there........AMEN!!!!

[drkam6]

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.

[fapostle]
