Osibisa and some 1980s Ghana Fashion

Some December Faves

A round up of some of the interesting things I’ve been reading, learning from, reflecting on… and/or just enjoying.


First:

Wɔyaya (Osibisa, 1971) has been playing in my mind and on my spotify a lot in the last days of 2020. It’s going to one of my anthems for 2021. Wikipedia says “the lyrics to the song "We are going nobody knows..." were written by Annie Masembe from Uganda” but there is no source cited.

it will be hard, we know… and the road will be muddy and rough. But we'll get there, heaven knows how we will get there,
We know we will.

 

Listen to Woyaya on Spotify. Osibisa · Song · 2009.
