After they wooed us with the cheeky 1000% Handsome EP, Watussi are back with a brand new single “Cuando Sera.” The track is our first taste of the new Watussi album El Ovido, which will hit stores this September.
The song should help us shake off the winter chills with its blend of hot cumbia reggae and brass. The music is killer, but make sure you listen to the lyrics to hear the story of Clara Rojas, a Colombian political figure kidnapped by FARC guerillas. “Cuando Sera” translates to “When Will It Stop,” and it’s delivered with real sensitivity and respect to the issue.
So it’s fitting that $5 from the sale of every ticket sold to their single launch at The Basement will go to Project Seres. This charity initiative helps communities in El Salvador and Guatemala become greener and more sustainable. So head on down to The Basement in Sydney on June 17 for a night of great music for a great cause!
