WOYAYA

Those of us who were turned on by Osibisa's first album were blown away by their second, Woyaya. Inviting friends and lovers into the studio the band managed a live-in-the-studio sound that took the Osibisa spirit to a higher level. Along with original compositions, the band gives us a nice rendition of Rahsann Roland Kirk's "Spirits Up Above". The title track is beautiful, and the album is full of those great Osibisa rhythms. I defy anyone to sit still while listening to songs like "Move On"! And we get another great cover painting by Roger Dean, best known for his Yes album covers.
