[@fayedeutsher9387]

Had this album in 1973 - played it forever - every weekend

[@guillermoconisllacastillo8797]

Hola soy Guillermo Conislla Castillo desde Tacna Perú. Esta es una de las canciones de Osibisa que la incluía en mi programa "Una Discoteca" en la radio. También la tocábamos con nuestro conjunto "Los Graduados" que dirige actualmente Roberto Vildoso Cañas. Tengo en mi colección 3 álbumes de este maravilloso grupo. Saludos

[@Rifuar1]

Bueno cuando aparecio este disco en 1972 fue un real hit. hasta hoy permanece fresco. gracias por compartirlo. desde Perú, America del Sur, gracias.

We in Fiji, Australia, New Zealand England some parts of Europe grew up loving Loving OSIBISA back in the early 70's and always will 👍

[@reefprayerresin]

I saw them in Byron Bay in the early 90s. I’d loved them for w0 years, and couldn’t believe they were in front of me on the stage! That intro always makes me laugh.

[@benjamincorreaaparicio9880]

Los escuchaba en disco de vinilo, siguen siendo los mismos y mejores. Felicidades.

[@HDSKevin]

Pelos como escarpias. Los descubrí por casualidad hace mucho tiempo, hablando de música con gente aleatoria, mucho mayor que yo, en un bar, hará como 10 años. Y desde entonces el nombre del grupo no se me borra de la cabeza. Son una maldita joya.

[@Mrrobbry]

Best African rock fusion band ever, and this one´s their best song!!!

[@ItEm55]

Trae muchisimos recuerdos esta cancion que se escuchaba con fuerza en los comienzos de los 70, buenisima....

Tremenda canción esta de Osibisa. Me divertí muchísimo con éste tema. Gran fusión de instrumentos. Todo un magnífico recuerdo.

[@juangonzales2626]

Conjunto Sudafricano de la mejor música hacen deleitar grandemente a gran mayoria que escucha con mucho agrado a Osibisa generan admiración y ganas de imitarlos con cualesquiera sea el grupo que tenga solo sacar los sonidos y el coro maravilla jóvenes de hoy tienen aquí la gran muestra.

[@vquartinb]

[@lynne1698]

[@nexusreplicant143]

When I was young, and that mean 43 years ago, we had that group of boys and girls and we used to do a ritual dance using this song. We loved it! And we couldn't end the parties without dancing it!

[@MrDominguezjr]

Conheço esta banda desde 1972 quando era garoto, e sempre curti muito o som deles, é espetacular e continua atual e comteporaneo. Demais, demais....

[@antoniodarosamartinez83]

Yo también José, 1972 fue el año más importante de mi vida. Mi novia y yo la bailabamos todos los domingos en la discoteca. Me emociono cuando la oigo. Espero que siga Usted aquí 12 años despues. Un abrazo.

[@7arturoperez]

tengo recuerdos increibles de toda ésta musica, ya que fué algo maravilloso covivir con el corazón de Africa durante algunos años. gracias Cameroun, Congo,Republica Centro Aftricana, Niger, Tchar, Gabon, Guinea, etc.etc. aperezdeolmos

[@kpete9219]

One of the best beginnings to any song! I especially love that they allowed the goof up at the beginning to remain in the song. I loved Osibisa's earlier albums more than the later ones. We painted the cover of an Osibisa Album that I had on our suite wall in the hall in the dorm at Northern Michigan University. Many times I had their albums playing, especially on the weekends and many people would stop by and ask who they were.

[@danielemignano6103]

OMG WTF moments of playing this music is as real as watching the beautiful amazing sun rise turning night into day Let there be light Let there Be osabisa ☸️🔯☦️☪️☮️🕎🕉️✡️☯️🛐✝️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@sunshinembulo6656]

I love Osibisa they remind me of the 70's when I was at College doing my Graphic Design Course. I am now a fully qualified Graphic Designer with 37 years of experience.

[@Multi1628]

Thank you for this classic Osibisa - this WAS club music before the word disco was ever in vogue. Now it is called world music - I call it real, classic great dance music! DAVEDJ

[@jorge3858]

Gran música de mi época, me sorprende como tan poca gente la ha visitado

[@cmoroteb]

El talento no tiene color y el arte tampoco, Osibisa es arte y talento puro!

[@Arkhama1]

un grupo incomparable, yo conozco solo a través de sus LPs desde Bolivia en la época del colegio. me hubiera gustado verlos en vivo.

[@josecarlosbustamante7388]

Great memories of my childhood. Such a band, Osibisa! 2020 and still enjoying their music like those days.

[@drkam6]

The mouth percussion ofthe intro is priceless! so tribal! Takes you straight to the middle of the african savannah.

[@luluadaroz1188]

Que musica!!!!! Yo baile todos los temas de OSIBISA., SON GENIOS!!! .

[@bennieparson3539]

Northwestern State University first heard this band 1972 the drum intro man still gets me some 50 yrs later

[@juangonzales2626]

Qué tal junta de tambores africanos ellos hacen un ritmo muy inolvidable con gran fuerza sin duda lo ejecutan en el fondo es un gran tema, grande con las voces de todos integrantes aunque al comienzo un poco flojo avanzando el tema es excelente por eso queda en los recuerdos de aquellos jóvenes q disfrutan GRACIAS POR HABERLO SUBIDO.

[@DavidPilcher51]

First mainstream African rock band I believe. This was the first track I heard, got the album the next day. Brilliant!

[@JuanSebastianGomez]

Estoy escuchándola por primera vez en la navidad del 2019 gracias a mi papá y mi tío. El sonido está brutal!

[@CarontedeAcheron]

Woooohooo!!! My father gave to me his Osibisa records when I was so young. I was amazed, what a rhytm. Since then, I fell in love with Africa.

[@emex01]

[@cliflip]

es una de los temas que no tienen epoca trae recuerdos de los tonos de mi juventud

[@alejandrofernandez5888]

Recuerdo que cuando escuchabas ésta canción , por primera vez te rompía esquemas ,la introducción en africano era algo nuevo que no sabías que era lo que ibas a bailar........ qué recuerdos.....!!!!!!!

[@antoniodarosamartinez83]

Rigurosamente verdad, pero terminábamos bailandola todos los fines de semana. Un saludo.

[@juangonzales2626]

[@antoniodarosamartinez83]

Y yo también Edward, lo mismito. Saludos desde las Islas Canarias.

[@eleazarvalverde1758]

The chorus of this song: Aaaaaah Aah Aaaaaah, Aaaaah... is equal to the chorus of "Venus" (of Shocking Blues). Venus was recorded in 1969 and Survival in 1977.

[@rickysango4152]

NO! It IS not equal, a kind similar but the Shocking Blue's has not the highest notes and of course they don't sound as a black.

[@delmirosariobejarllerena8618]

Que recuerdos, allá en mi barrio Santa Cruz, quien los escucha en el 2,024?

[@nolopunky]

los conozco desde que sacaron su primer album en españa y ya me parecieron increibles hoy los oigo y aun me gustan mas. Que aprendan muchos que van de divos, esto es hacer música y hacer bailar y hacer reir y hacer sentirse bien. Que mas se puede pedir

[@antoniodarosamartinez83]

Muy buen comentario compañero, si sigues ahí después de nueve años, me alegro. Adoro este grupo desde 1972 Un abrazo.

[@brisseidacortes8707]

Musica exceptional, grandes recuerdos, vienen a Mi memoria , gracias. X revivir mi espiritu con esa musics, ,😂

[@Ravenoflight2275]

My father played there records religiously I thank him for r because I became an open minded musician. Osibisa rocks

[@davido3026]

Music is universal!!!!

[@silaspatterson9858]

I played this album until the grooves were worn out.

[@oudalong5681]

They played this on Top of the Pops, I think 1971. Lasisi Amao going crazy on percussions and Wendell and Spartacus stalking the stage like caged tigers on guitars. The TOTP kids were so used to groups like the Beatles, Stones, Hollies and Manfred Mann. This was one hell of an eye opener, BUT LOTS OF FUN and FUNK!!!

[@juangonzales2626]

MUSICALMENTE, SE ADELANTÓ A SU ÉPOCA SOBRE ESTE GÉNERO HAY MUY POCA MÚSICA ES IMPRESIONANDO LA INSTRUMENTACIÓN ACOMPAÑADO DE LAS VOCES DE LOS OSIBISA CON GRAN IMPERIO DE LO MEJOR, Y GRACIAS.

[@sonogeorge]

OSIBISA, representa la música de un continente que lucha por sobrevivir, pidamos para Africa, paz y desarrollo; está la solución en manos de todos; gobernantes, juventud musical y los melómanos de siempre, Dios existe.

[@reefprayerresin]

I saw them in Byron Bay in the early 90s. I’d loved them for 20 years, and couldn’t believe they were in front of me on the stage! That intro always makes me laugh.

[@juangonzales2626]

Tambores de este tema de sonoridad extraordinario con esas voces al estilo mismo de los sudafricanos le dan algo que nosotros lo calificaremos excelente coincidentemente va también con nuestros gustos ermosos años que aparecieron en el cielo mistiano.

[@nhicola04]

Fue un grane xito y lo baile cada vez que lo ponian en esas fiestas de los años 70...aun lo recuerdo y me trae grandes recuerdos, de mi barrio, mi juventud, mi colegio...mas aun sigue siendo una excelente interpretacion...

Impresionantes 'percusiones vocales' se unen a las percusiones para formar un espacio introductorio alucinante... quizá escucharlo ahora para muchos no represente nada pero cuando salió el disco fue un acontecimiento, fusión de folk africano con rock y jazz!!!!

I have the vinyl. This always makes me get up and dance and shout! And I'm old, fat and white! But I guess none of that really matters.

[@compositorraro]

Mike McClendon I agree

[@joelrossimcclure8875]

+Mike McClendon true at

[@dimebucker2]

+Aquinasish fuck off

[@dimebucker2]

+Aquinasish this should help: Imagine that you're sitting down to dinner with your family, and while everyone else gets a serving of the meal, you don't get any. So you say "I should get my fair share." And as a direct response to this, your dad corrects you, saying, "everyone should get their fair share." Now, that's a wonderful sentiment -- indeed, everyone should, and that was kinda your point in the first place: that you should be a part of everyone, and you should get your fair share also. However, dad's smart-ass comment just dismissed you and didn't solve the problem that you still haven't gotten any! The problem is that the statement "I should get my fair share" had an implicit "too" at the end: "I should get my fair share, too, just like everyone else." But your dad's response treated your statement as though you meant "only I should get my fair share", which clearly was not your intention. As a result, his statement that "everyone should get their fair share," while true, only served to ignore the problem you were trying to point out. That's the situation of the "black lives matter" movement. Culture, laws, the arts, religion, and everyone else repeatedly suggest that all lives should matter. Clearly, that message already abounds in our society. The problem is that, in practice, the world doesn't work the way. You see the film Nightcrawler? You know the part where Renee Russo tells Jake Gyllenhal that she doesn't want footage of a black or latino person dying, she wants news stories about affluent white people being killed? That's not made up out of whole cloth -- there is a news bias toward stories that the majority of the audience (who are white) can identify with. So when a young black man gets killed (prior to the recent police shootings), it's generally not considered "news", while a middle-aged white woman being killed is treated as news. And to a large degree, that is accurate -- young black men are killed in significantly disproportionate numbers, which is why we don't treat it as anything new. But the result is that, societally, we don't pay as much attention to certain people's deaths as we do to others. So, currently, we don't treat all lives as though they matter equally. Just like asking dad for your fair share, the phrase "black lives matter" also has an implicit "too" at the end: it's saying that black lives should also matter. But responding to this by saying "all lives matter" is willfully going back to ignoring the problem. It's a way of dismissing the statement by falsely suggesting that it means "only black lives matter," when that is obviously not the case. And so saying "all lives matter" as a direct response to "black lives matter" is essentially saying that we should just go back to ignoring the problem. The phrase "Black lives matter" carries an implicit "too" at the end; it's saying that black lives should also matter. Saying "all lives matter" is dismissing the very problems that the phrase is trying to draw attention to.
