Ozomatli (formed in 1995) is an American Latin, hip hop, rock, salsa, jazz and funk band hailing from Los Angeles, California, U.S.
The band Ozomatli met while attempting to create a worker's union in Los Angeles, the union failed to attract recognition however gave them an abandoned building to use for a month. The building was transformed into a cultural arts centre through which Ozomatli came into fruition. The name Ozomatli is derived after the Nahuatl word for the Aztec astrological symbol of the monkey, the god of dance, fire and music.
After initial line-up changes Ozomatli eventually consisted of Raúl “El Bully” Pacheco, Ulises Bella, Jiro Yamaguchi, Cut Chemist, Chali 2na, Wil-Dog Abers, Mairo Calire, Rene “Spinobi” Dominguez, Justin “Niño” Porée, Asdrubal Sierra, and Jabu. Following a host of performances in the local club scene and an appearance on the late night talk show “Vibe!”, Ozomatli released their eponymously-titled debut album to mainstream success. Released June 16, 1998 the album reached No. 7 on the Billboard Latin Albums chart, stayed in the chart for 71 weeks and led to the band being invited on tour with guitarist Carlos Santana in 1999.
In 2001 Ozomatli released their sophomore album “Embrace the Chaos” which shot straight to No. 1 in the Billboard Latin Album chart and the Billboard Latin Pop Album chart. The band won a Grammy for the Best Latin Rock/Alternative Album and became noted for their commitment to social justice and the rising anti-war movement. In 2003 came a 6-track EP titled “Coming Up” which featured the rap vocals of Kanetic Source on the single “Cumbia De Los Muertos”.
Ozomatli won two Grammys for their 2004 album “Street Signs” one for Best Latin Rock/Alternative Album and one for Best Alternative Music Album and well as receiving significant critical acclaim. Its follow-up the 2006 “Don’t Mess With the Dragon” featured the singles “After Party”, “When I Close My Eyes” and “La Segunda Mano”. The released marked significant line-up changes for the band with DJ Spinobi and MC Jabu departing on amicable terms.
The group then served as Cultural Ambassadors to the U.S. and embarked on a number of government-sponsored tours, they created a song for the Los Angeles Dodgers baseball team, and performed with a host of orchestras across the States. Ozomatli has subsequently released the albums “Fire Away” in 2010, the child friendly “Ozomatli Presents Ozokidz” in 2012 and “Place in the Sun” in 2014.
Read moreOzomatli is a band from Los Angeles who from the very first count in, they have every single person dancing in this bike store. They employ a sort of Latin Rock, which gets fused with a hip-hop and funk sound sometimes. From the moment that they are introduced in this KEXP hosted performance, they are smiling throughout this set. This opening song “Como Ves” has the simplest chorus that you just can’t help but get involved with when they perform. There is a real buzz, lots of dancing drinking jumping and celebrating. Their song “Brighter” is a little bit more chilled altogether, with it’s slower tempo, but it keeps this party going at full speed. I love that there is a constant shift between the vocals and the horns, which are the main feature of this band that you really take away with you. I find myself just singing along to everything that they perform, and I know full well that I’ll have at least five different horns and chorus hooks stuck in my head for days!
Los Angeles outfit Ozomatli have been crossing the genres of Latin, hip hop, jazz, funk, reggae and rock since their very first eponymous album in 1997. They have been touring constantly since their beginnings and the seven piece has remained in tact over fifteen years after their formation. This means that the musicians onstage are completely in tune with one and other and know just how to react to the large variety of instruments being used at any one time.
The audience sometimes doesn't know where to focus as there is simply so much to focus on as the group goes about recreating the genre hopping music of their albums. However the men onstage steer things back onto course and unify the crowds with great onstage banter and chatter. This really works in their favour when the time for a finale of 'After Party' and 'Brighter' which has the whole room singing along to the choruses under the command of the likeable band.
Super high energy show at Washington's in Ft. Collins, CO! These guys are performers and they made the evening so much fun. Loved the variety of instruments they incorporated, and I love how they support young musicians. They brought several local kids on stage with them to perform and it was so neat! The kids were amazing and you could see how encouraging the band was. What great musicians, making sure passion for music is passed to the next generation!
Ozomatli puts on one of the most fun shows that I've ever been to. These guys put love and energy into their music above and beyond what you'd expect. On top of that, they are extremely humble individuals, they almost always get out and sign, take pictures, and meet all of their fans that want a chance. Great show! Will definitely be looking for them again.
this was my second time to see this band, I took my Girlfriend and she is now a fan, These guys how to spin a crowd and make any venue a dance party. 25 years of Fusion jazz music, They're a must see band that any music fan will not be disappointed. Guys Thanks for the an awesome time, "Oye Mami Oye Papi, Donde esta la After Party"
I’ve been to a lot of live gigs and, I can honestly say, this was one of the best! Ozomatli had so much infectious energy that I couldn’t stop dancing. Do yourself a favour and see them if you’ve never seen them before. If you have…well, you know what I’m talking about!
This was the fourth time seeing this HIGH POWER band. Not disappointed! Super fun culminating with the band playing out in the audience back to the lobby/bar. They are very approachable; talking with their fans. A kick in the ass (as usual)!!!!
Another great show by Ozomatli!! I have seen them over 10 times thought the years they still bring the same energy every time!! The crowd had fun dancing the entire time. The opening acts were also very good!!
Always a fun time. Good high energy fast pace Latin, hip/hop. This was third time seeing them. Wish they could play longer. So many venues now just tiring to push music through never enough time to enjoy.
Holy moly these guys are amazing. 20yrs together shows.
A must see (and I'm kicking myself for not seeing them sooner)
Certainly one of the best bands I've seen live.
