Charter members of Reggae Ambassadors Worldwide (R.A.W.) and one of the premier and most established REGGAE bands in America, they are world class musicians coming from the Caribbean, U.S.A. and Africa, and move from roots reggae to dancehall, Afrikan soukous to salsa, with shades of jazz and a chunk of funk, always surprising and eclectic.
WATUSI joins cultures, life and music together in a true Rasta spirit of
international unity, with a "One World" message and rhythm mix.
