Bonham -- World reggae ambassadors Watusi will bring their unique sound that draws from reggae, salsa and Afro-beat to the garden at Bonham Creative Arts Center July 18.

This lively performance is scheduled from 8:00 p.m. until 10:00 and tickets are $10.

Led by 1976 Bonham High School graduate Jimi Towery, Watusi has been an international favorite for almost three decades.

This is a fantastic party band and colorful conga lines always seem to erupt spontaneously in the crowd, spurred on by the infectious reggae beat.

Often a dozen audience members join the band onstage before the night is over.

One of the most established reggae bands in the U.S., Watusi's music is an honest reflection of a diverse tribe of musicians originally from Africa, the U.S. and the Caribbean.

This band has shared the stage with reggae heavyweights UB40, Ziggy Marley, Steel Pulse and Black Uhuru, so pick out a colorful tropical outfit and come welcome Watusi to Creative Arts Center, a true cultural oasis in North Texas.
