In Tonga (an island near Samoa and Fiji): ‘Imisi (pronounced ee-mee-see): means “Image:” for man was created in the “image of God” (Gen 1:27). Made in His image: people of all cultures and languages reflect something of His likeness and through the powerful music of this diverse Polynesian group we have been given a unique vision of the Father. ‘Imisi is headed by brothers David (Tevita Ka) Fohe: Jubilee (Siupeli Koula) Fohe and Joel Roberts. On “Visions of the Father:” David’s sweet textured voice eloquently contrasts Jubilee’s smooth nasal tone and clever singjay stylings. ‘Imisi has been compared to everyone from Luciano to Gregory Isaacs: and even labeled “The Reggae Katinas.” This labor of love took two years to record and was produced by the top players in the secular and gospel reggae markets- Quino from Big Mountain (the best selling U.S. reggae group) and Mark Mohr from Christafari (the best selling gospel reggae group). In addition to the vibrant vocals and lush harmonies: the band lays down some top-notch melodies and hypnotic beats. These addictive cuts also contain outstanding musical performances by some of Jamaica\
