“Kum ba yah” (“Come by Here”), a plead for God to come and offer His divine intervention, is a song with an origin that had been disputed for a long time. The song, which already made the international lexicon had touched countless lives in a spiritual sense. However, with time, its true meaning and essence are slowly disappearing and people no longer put enough value on its historical importance. We can blame the disputes of its origin and claims on who really wrote the song, because of these disputes and claims, the song is also losing its credibility. This is exactly the reason why Griffin Lotson, after ninety-four years of the song s conception, stepped up in an attempt to clear up the cobwebs and shed light on who should get the credit for the creation of this one-of-a-kind song.
