Opening Woyaya is 'Beautiful Seven' that is a reference to the first seven days of creation. It opens with a thunder storm, then climbs into a flute led (Teddy Osei) musically picturesque melody that brings to mind gentleness, happiness and a light dance.

'Y Sharp' is predominately an instrumental that has jazz overtones.

Roland 'Rashan' Kirk's 'Spirits Up Above' is performed in a beautiful, bluesy-gospel flavour that features the Osibisa Choir.

My all time favourite Osibisa track has to be 'Survival' that opens with mouth-percussion and assorted drumming, then this flows into a full African-jazz-rock melody, with strong driving bass (Spartacus R), complete with a triple attack by the Osibisa horns (Teddy Osei-tenor sax, Mac Tontoh-trumpet, Loughty Lasisi Amao-baritone sax). 'Survival' is further complimented by a brilliant tenor solo from Teddy.

'Move On' is an anti-narcotics song written by guitarist Wendell Richardson, and features some great jazz piano from Robert Bailey, plus an outro featuring dual blazing guitars from Wendell.

Loughty wrote and features on 'Rabiatu', and this is the strongest African track on Woyaya! The title track has become the farewell anthem at Osibisa concerts, and is Osibisa's own 'Auld Lang Syne'; and this moving melody was written by Osibisa's drummer Sol Amarfio.
