Watusi
East African cattle
Watusi refers to the Tutsi people of Rwanda and Burundi, though this older spelling is now considered dated.
The Watusi is also a 1960s American dance characterized by arm movements held above the head while the body sways—named with exoticizing intent after the tall Tutsi people: Do the Watusi!
Watusi cattle are a long-horned African breed.
