OSIBISA! Yeah!

A fine fine band we saw a lot way back at the time of Reading Festival when we met Sparticus R stalking through the crowd like some hallucination in his own right and an introduction to African Feel Good Music par excellence - pals went too to see them at TOTP when we knew JS was just some weird creepy guy. . . .  Lets strike a doobie and get into the music! Woyaya!

OSIBISA - Switzerland 2013

We are going
Heaven knows where we are going
We will know we're there
We will get there
Heaven knows how we will get there
We know we will
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
We are going
Heaven knows where we are going
We will know we're there
