We have been greatly blessed and Jah has provided all that was necessary for us to stay strong, faithful and committed to His Word, Sound and Power. From Dallas to Hawaii, Jamaica, Africa, South America, Asia and Europe, we have spread the message and the music and been true reggae ambassadors since September of 1982 and our music has remained true to the roots and kulture from which it flowed. We give thanks to Jah for all things, especially our livity, our families and children, each other, and all of who who have supported us and the world reggae community for all of these years. Our last cd, "Cool Runner", is now getting airplay in 99 countries, and getting emails and letters from brothers and sisters all over the world with such beautiful, positive response and love and appreciation makes it all so worthwhile. Even in these times, the world is such a beautiful place. Much work to be done, however, and Watusi will continue to be praying and playing Jah music for another 20 years, reaching out to the rainbow of people out there , and hoping to touch hearts and minds with positive vibes and a true loving spirit. May Jah bless, guide and protect, and provide for you and yours. One Love, Jimi, Bongo, Ras Lyrix, Ragga D, Don I, Gary, Kumba, Ras Dave, Arik, Solomon, Kya and the whole Watusi family.
