Woyaya is the second album by Ghanaian Afro-pop band Osibisa released in 1971 by MCA. Reissued in 2004 in a two-CD pack together with the self-titled album Osibisa by BGO Records.
Although conventionally spelled "Woyaya" the title is actually "Wɔyaya" (with a backwards-c), which comes from the Ghanaian Ga language. The title song was covered by Art Garfunkel on his debut solo album Angel Clare in 1973. The lyrics to the song "We are going nobody knows..." were written by Annie Masembe from Uganda.
