After selling out three consecutive shows at The Basement and invigorating New Year’s revellers at Woodford Folk Festival, WATUSSI are taking the heat from their recently erupted sophomore album, ‘El Olvido’, to it’s logical conclusion with a headline show at Sydney’s legendary Metro Theatre. Join Sydney’s most energetic eight-piece, heralded by The Australian as the ‘No. 1 Latin band in the land’, as they finally pick on a sound system their own size!
2011 saw Watussi teaming up with some musical idols, as they toured the country with Latin rock legend Santana and recorded a yet to be released EP with New Orleans blues pianist Jon Cleary. 2012 sees the Afrocolombian octet continue the trend, with their SOLD OUT Australia Day double bill with New York based Cuban master percussionist Pedro Martinez as part of this year’s acclaimed Sydney Festival program. This kicks off the band’s summer touring schedule, which takes them to East Coast Blues and Roots Festival, Adelaide Fringe Festival, Port Fairy Folk Festival and WOMAD New Zealand.
Catch Sydney’s own world music pioneers with special guest performers from Cumbia + Afro Nomads, as they cap off a massive twelve months of touring and releases with their biggest home town show yet!
