Osibisa - Woyaya (Live on Austrian TV, 1972)
Музыка
The group Osibisa was founded in 1969 in London and consisted at the time of its formation of Teddy Osei (saxophone), Max Tontoh (trumpet), Lasisi Amao (tenor saxophone, percussion), Sol Amarfio (drums), Robert Bailey (keyboard), Wendel Richardson (guitar) and Spartacus R (bass guitar). The band members translate the band name loosely from Ghanaian as "criss cross rhythms that explode with happiness". They were considered the pioneers of world music from the mid-1970s and paved the way for other great artists like Bob Marley. They had their first success with the song "Music for Gong Gong". This was shortly followed by "Sunshine Day", "Dance the Body Music" and "Coffee Song". Their album Woyaya rose to number 11 in the LP charts of the time and in the mid-1980s they built their own recording studio, a theatre complex and their own record label "Flying Elephant" in Ghana.
Spotlight was a music programme for young people broadcast by the Austrian Broadcasting Corporation (ORF) between 1968 and 1978. It was the equivalent of Beat Club or Musikladen in Germany.

Wow this comment 😢😢..our roots will never fade.. God bless Our Mother Ghana 🇬🇭..🙏🏾
Dear future generations, if you chance on this comment remember life isn't permanent. I made this comment on 23 of April, 2024 when I was an active and energetic youth in my 30s of age. God bless you and make your vision a reality. My advice to you is that never be influenced negatively by friends, never kill for money, you will never enjoy it.

Yes I was little child when I heard this magnificent song through AKAN DRAMA MAAME DOKONO AND OSOFO DADZIE. ANY ONE WHO SEES THIS COMMENTS I ALSO HERE
I'm 66 years old. This song was a hit late 1960's then the group came to Salisbury, Zimbabwe in 1980 soon after Bob Marley. Wonderful memories
Here I am playing this song on 2nd June 2024, the message never fades or gets old.
We will get there We know we will
That is the spirit of Africa....Ghana my motherland ❤2024 still alive
Ghanaians will be proud and forever remember Osibisa band ❤️ 💙.
Long before Afrobeats crossover there was Osibisa. An amazing collaboration of excellent Musicians. It needs to be said playing musical instruments makes you appreciate music more and extends your talent to become a greater one. We are [still] going and only Heavens know where that may be, but we will get there. Woyaya !!!
Who is going to tell the story of these legends to the present generation ❤❤❤
Great song by all standards. 28th May 2024 and still counting.
I still play this track every time I feel down. I was brought up listening to Osibisa
Hmmm They need to be celebrated every year… see the joy in their faces❤…. Life is just a journey indeed 😊😢
Proudly Ghanaian 🇬🇭🔥🇬🇭🔥🇬🇭🔥🇬🇭🙏
Osibisa, one of Ghana's heritage ❤️❤️❤️ At the age of 24 and this is one of the groups that really inspires me
1st June, 2024 Dear future generations,know that you have heaven's backing and whatever you do in a sound mind, with faith and hardwork, you shall surely get there.

We’ll get there, and we know we’ll. 2024 still listening
May your soul rest in peace 🕊️ daddy. You played this song for the family every morning, telling us that everything will be alright that heavens the best for us. Incase any of my sons and daughters or my grandchildren come across this song. I want to tell you that anything you are passing through God's knows the best and heaven will always be on your side.

My head is spinning just reading the comments. Chills all over. Sitting with my Elders down here in Arkansas and they telling me about seeing them in concert back in 72
This speaks to the soul. Superb.
I can say this song hit differently. I always burst into tears, when I hear it. And this song also inspires and gives hope for the future. We used to sing this song after our last paper in SHS. Shoutout to all Ahemaa (KGee). It will be hard we know and the road will be muddy and rough but we will surely get there one day. So giving up shouldn't be our motto. Let's fight hard and we will surely get what we want. ❤❤❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏. God bless our homeland, Ghana🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️🔥🥰❤️🌹❣️

I started singing this song this morning as It came in mind...so I quickly came here❤❤❤ August,2024 will be my thirtieth year and I've been enjoying this song from my childhood days as Peace fm 104.3 kept playing it... especially on Sunday mornings😅wow I missed my childhood days❤ adulthood came so fast...but the best decision I ever made is handing my life into the hands of Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ is coming again.. give your life to Him and secure your future even after here... love you all.❤❤❤ Proudly African🇬🇭
Any time I hear this song, I remember childhood times, we will get there
This song is timeless.
That was the time when Africans see each other as one people😢sad this kind of bond is no longer there
This song moves me to tears anytime I listen to it. The struggle is real and hard out there but we’ll surely get there.
Played this song here in Ghana Osu-Julius Nyerere street 15/06/2024.....WE WILL GET THERE❤✊🏿
One day we get there still 2024😢
