Imagine venturing on a flight to the South Pacific via Air Jamaica with a Bible and some soothing reggae to pass your time--now youre in the mood for Imisi, a new group that will take you to the next plateau in gospel reggae. In Tonga (an island near Samoa and Fiji), Imisi (pronounced ee-mee-see), means Image, for man was created in the image of God (Gen 1:27). Made in His image, people of all cultures and languages reflect something of His likeness and through the powerful music of this diverse Polynesian group we have been given a unique vision of the Father.
Imisi is headed by brothers David (Tevita Ka) Fohe and Jubilee (Siupeli Koula) Fohe. On Visions of the Father, Davids sweet textured voice eloquently contrasts Jubilees smooth nasal tone and clever singjay stylings. Imisi has been compared to everyone from Luciano to Gregory Isaacs, and even labeled The Reggae Katinas. This labor of love took two years to record and was produced by the top players in the secular and gospel reggae markets; Quino from Big Mountain (the best selling U.S. reggae group) and Mark Mohr from Christafari (the best selling gospel reggae group). In addition to the vibrant vocals and lush harmonies, the band lays down some top-notch melodies and hypnotic beats. These addictive cuts also contain outstanding musical performances by some of Jamaica's finest reggae musicians mixed in a dubwise fashion. The Beat Magazine said that Imisis music sits smoothly in the lovers rock mode praising Jesus Christ as the most high. Their heart-felt lyrics of praise sung smoothly over rolling bass-lines and infectious beats are the perfect recipe to satisfy any appetite--Sugar couldnt add any sweetness to these tasty tunes. 'Imisi continues to turn heads in the Reggae community having performed at several of the Nations largest Reggae Festivals and sharing the stage with Artists such as Jr. Gong, Sean Paul, Lucky Dube, Morgan Heritage, Sly & Robbie, and Toots and the Maytals just to name a few.
