Since we do not have much information to go by (year? male or female singer?) I am offering two wild guesses:

(1) Odyssey - Going back to my roots
(2) Manu Dibanga - Soul Makossa

Two very different songs, two very different era's...

Good luck.

not Manu Dibanga - Soul Makossa this was almost like a ritual type of song in some other language maybe around 1978, 1979... i wish I was a good speller on this but what I remember is ...

Owao owao oh oha, owao owao oh, oha

Mangesei, yeye, osaye ... or I dont' know what. I think it actually played in the miami radio.

Black Soul: Mangous Ye, sometimes printed Mangousse Ye, French, from 1975, extremely powerful and still hot today

maybe "gimme some lovin'/africanism" by kongas

If it's c 133 BPM, heavy pounding beat, male chorus, ouwa ouwa eee-oo-ah, repeat, ouwa ouwa - E!! mangous-ye, mangous-ye..etc - It's got to be nothing but Black Soul! :D

maybe it's

Fungi Mama - Tom Browne (1981)

here's a verse:

oh yea oh yea fugi mama... bam bamala .... oh yea mama

then you hear party people in the background... with a cool bass guitar playing in the back....

or

the way you typed it out.... it looks like you are describing

Buster Poindexter - Hot Hot Hot :D

YEP, you probably heard the track on Salsa 98.5 during their lunchtime dance mixes during the week .. DJ LEO used to play this back in the day on Disco 96 (which is now power 96). "Gossa now yawl!!!!!"

Anyways, the song is Mongous Ye by Black Soul.. KILLER TRACK.. Has a horn, ritualistic chanting and a break that will burn the rubber on your platform shoes!!!!Smokin! :P
