This classic hit comes from their 2nd album WOYAYA of 1971.Here the band perfoms it live at their concert in Salonica ,Greece,February 1995 ( #9 song in the play list of this evening)..
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❤
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
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
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...
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!!
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!]
@@yawhammond279 Quite a cynic, aren't you? You've got your perspective a bit askew... There's a lot that's worth dying for; worth living for. The vanity you mention is referring to the decadence and greed of today's society, which seems greater than ever because of global mass tech marketing literally in one's hands. But it's always been there from old. Simply remember to hold to real values, like love, family, friends, helping those you can--and beware of being manipulated by the media. Don't allow that to influence your feelings- ever.
@@yawhammond279 Sorry. Mssg got "chopped". "helping those you can, and beware of media manipulation. Don't allow that to influence your feelings...ever.
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.
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!🎵👍🙏😎
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😍💑
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"...
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.
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,!!!
If you are still listening to this song in 2024, much love. #GHANA #OSIBISA

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...
Amidst this coronavirus era, this song makes me cry for the world. It is hard, rough and tough but we will get there.
The world will prevail😥😥
Hallelujah 🙏🙇♀️🤦♀️😭
we will endure my friend, hand in hand, family of man......all kinds all "flavors"....we will get there....
My eyes are full of tears when I watch this music. Just watch it from 5.25 I don't think that any musician can play in this way 😄
I hope there is still an incarnation of Osibisa when my grandchildren go an listen to live music years from now... and this song is still played.
Yeah. Check out Santrofi Band
Still listening in 2020❣️❣️
my old memories awakened by osibisa songs
Who is listening with me in 2021 this song still reigns
Waaaw this song will live as long as humanity goes on

dunno but always cry when listening to this song..can someone please tell me what it is actually about? would love to know.
there are certain complex feelings that are impossible to condense... all we need is the word of the resurrected lord in us .
Look inside yourself.
God is within us all...and with trust will always get you through!
Nothing is worth dying for in this world because everything is vanity

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.

Listening to Osibisa gives me chills. This is truly soul music
Am crying because I'm one of this generation 🤦🤦🤦🤦
What a great music with great message ❤️
I don't know why I love this song so much with every Fibre in me... God bless Osibisa for this generational and timeless piece.
Very inspirational and predictive. Heaven knows
Bessa Simons on the keyboard still looks the same in 2020. He's currently the president of the Musicians Union of Ghana
True
Besa Simons is not the MUSIGHA prez
@@mandyabbey2626 he was Acting President at the time. And he still holds that position.
Wow that is bessa Simons
Legendary and evergreen. They were and in my opinion, still the pride of Africa.
This song never dies it lives in the heart of people all over the whole world Congratulations Osibisa team
