"Echale Fuego" debut single video clip - directed by Nick Mckenzie


LIVE @ WOMADelaide March 08


ABC TV Australia "The Sideshow" Sept 07



NEWS FLASH:

"ECHALE FUEGO" FILM CLIP HAS BEEN RELEASED TO THE PUBLIC AND IS NOW ON THE NET - CHECK IT OUT ABOVE OR ON YOUTUBE

"TEQUILA, SANGRE Y FUEGO", THE DEBUT ALBUM FROM WATUSSI WAS RELEASED NATIONALLY ON MON 15TH OCTOBER 2007 THROUGH KNOWFOOWL RECORDS AND INERTIA

Copies are now available nationally through all major music stores and online.


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.

"Sydney band Watussi is a prime example of what it takes to make it in the Australian music industry."
The Sunday Telegraph

"..it’s not just a party, it’s a Watussi party!"
Drum Media

"Musically, the group was immaculate, and their carefree party attitude stitched up a first-rate performance."
