Ozomatli: Street Signs (2004)
How can one describe LA-based Latin rock band Ozomatli to the uninitiated?
Not in a word or two.
They blend traditional Latin styles with modern rock, funk, jazz, hip-hop, reggae, salsa and, on this their third full-length album, North African and Middle Eastern sounds.
Oh, and the Prague Symphony.
It’s a lot. But it all amalgamates surprisingly well into a multicultural mix that really catches fire in a live setting.
This band can put across an anthemic English-language rock song, croon a hermosa balada en español, and throw a great dance party.
This is the sound of musical inclusivity.
