07/03/08: WATUSSI - tequila sangre y fuego

Watussi (pronounced "WAH-too-SEE", Cuban slang for the 'most handsome man at the party') is a Sydney based 8 piece band playing Afro-Colombian Rock and Roots. Lead by Oscar Jimenez, a former punk rocker from Barranquilla on the Carribean coast of South America, he brings a huge amount of energy and charisma to every performance, making Watussi a must see for lovers of live music.

Their debut album "Tequila, Sangre y Fuego" was released late last year through Knowfoowl/Inertia with the first single "Echale Fuego" achieving national airplay on Triple J, ABC Radio National and community stations Australia wide. Watussi played WOMADelaide in March this year and is set to tour internationally in late 2008.
