WATUSSI WERE NOMINATED FOR AN ARIA AWARD FOR BEST WORLD MUSIC ALBUM IN THIS YEAR'S COMPETITION CONGRATULATIONS TO GEOFFREY GURRUMUL YUNUPINGU WHO ENDED UP WINNING THE AWARD

"TEQUILA, SANGRE Y FUEGO", THE DEBUT ALBUM FROM WATUSSI IS NOW AVAILABLE ON iTUNES OR DIRECTLY FROM THE WATUSSI WEBSITE: WWW.WATUSSI.COM.AU


BAND BIO

Watussi (pronounced: WAH-too-SEE, slang meaning 'the most handsome man at the party'). Their debut long player ‘Tequila, Sangre y Fuego’ is a deliciously rich snapshot of Australian multiculturalism, featuring tracks in English, Spanish and French as well as fusing styles as diverse as Cumbia, Rock, Funk, and Reggae throughout the fourteen track album.


The eight-piece is lead by Colombian born vocalist/guitarist/producer Oscar Jimenez whose wild stage energy and huge afro channels everyone from Jimi Hendrix to Jack Splash of Plantlife. Under his direction, Watussi have emerged as one of Sydney’s most popular live bands typified by their charismatic performances. The mix of Afro-Carribean percussion with raw, rock guitar riffs and thumping bass gives Watussi a unique sound and edge that defines the live reputation captured on their first release. The three-piece horn section soars over soul grooves and injects the colours of Oscar’s homeland.

Thankyou for being a friend of New Translation. Great sounds on this space. We invite you to taste a section of our upcoming album with a track named 'Found'. On this track we have liberal sprinklings of Geoff Bradley and Pete Raidel (Goose) on trumpet and sax respectively, the dish finished with Tony Minnieconn's patented vocal awesomesauce.
Please let us know what you think?
The track will be up for the month of May so get your fill until our anticipated album release towards years end.
Cheers Shaun M
