Музыка
Download/Stream: lnk.to/sissalagoddess "Woyaya" is the title song of a 1971 album by the legendary Ghanaian band "Osibisa". The song was frequently heard in work camps throughout central West Africa in the 1970s and 1980s. “Woyaya,” like many other African scat syllables, can have many meanings. According to the song’s composer, it means “We are going.” Source: wordsofwisdom.uucg.org

Totally inspirational: as a young man 40 years ago, I loved Osibisa: but this is absolutely inspirational: it brings floods of tears to my old eyes: this is the real music, these are the real people, this is the voice that moves mountains. We celebrate our shared humanity in this song.

Dear Wiyaala, I know I'm late, but our elders say any time a man wakes up is his morning. I should have done this a long time ago, but I'm not sure it's too late since you're still alive to read this. My knowledge of music is limited. Technically, I don't know what constitutes good music; but, like beauty, when I hear or see good music, I recognise it. I have followed your work silently over the years with enormous admiration and pride. This morning, I think I should let you know. The ambassadorial role you play for Ghana with your music is immense. The joy you bring to troubled and confused and cheerful hearts with your music cannot be quantified and rewarded enough. I could not concentrate on anything else since I discovered your cover on Osibisa's "Woyaya" yesterday. On my way to work this morning, I played it over and over again and, each time I did, it was as if I was hearing it for the first time. You have breathed new life into the legendary track. It has stirred my spirit and invigorated my imaginations about my personal life and my country Ghana. Thank you, Wiyaala. I now understand why your music is not everywhere in drinking spots to night clubs etc. Rolls Royce is scarcely seen on our streets.

Wiyaala's music should be a full course studied by students in the schools of arts in Ghana. How she combines traditional contents and mordern dynamics to produce such meladious symphony is something that's got to be mastered by any Ghanaia artist wanting to become a global icon. Being it music, theatre, painting, photography, fashion among others.

I love how she is different from other musicians. She Is like a role model for does who don't care about what people say about their dressing.
The best rendition of a masterpiece. A soothing voice weaved on the wings of a cultural symbiosis!!! Higher heights Dear!!!
Much appreciation for remaking the great Osibisa song. My greatest group back in the day.
The originality in Wiyaala makes her incomparably unique.
