Ozomatli

Every single funky note floating around L.A. has somehow found its way into Ozomatli's heady brew of rap, Latin, funk and soul. The army of east L.A. musicians known as Ozomatli (whose name originates from that of the Aztec god of dance) have caused an immediate sensation with their incendiary live shows and hyperkinetic mix of styles that bridge the gap between African, Latin and American music. At their blazing best, Ozomatli take the finest of '70s funk and give it an energetically contemporary twist of the arm.
