Fujahtive


Fujahtive are a Juno Award nominated. eight piece reggae band based in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Their powerful, horn section driven brand of reggae made them a very popular local Toronto live draw as well as a regular touring act across Canada throughout the late 1980s and 1990s. The band's "Send fi mi girl" video was one of the first Canadian reggae videos to crack the Much Music regular rotation in 1991. That same year they were invited to guest host and play live on the innovative and wildly popular MuchMusic show Xtendamix along with regular host Master T. The band took a break in 2006 before regrouping on November 7, 2014 for a sold out benefit concert in Toronto.

History

Fujahtive was originally formed in 1986, when all of the original members were still in high school. Jamaican-born lead vocalist Winston Ho-Sang transferred from Oakwood Collegiate to Forest Hill Collegiate, where he met Anthony Goldstein. They bonded over their mutual love of reggae music and decided to put a band together with members from each schools well respected music programs. Winston Ho-Sang's identical twin brother Wayne Ho-Sang joined the very surprised band at rehearsal and for a while audiences were seeing double on lead vocals. The band has backed up Michael Rose of Black Uhuru and has been the opening act for Yellowman, Burning Spear, Gregory Isaacs, Sly & Robbie, Culture, Linton Kwesi Johnson, Marcia Griffiths, Eek-a-mouse, Shinehead and most recently Luciano.
Wayne and Winston Ho-Sang are the father and uncle, respectively, of professional ice hockey player Josh Ho-Sang.
