OZOMATLI - live - sat, jan 24th
http://www.spectrum-events.com
come check out one of my fave live acts everrrrrrrrr (seriously - i rank their live show in my top 10 list with the roots, lauryn hill, krs, bep, jamiroquoi, stevie wonder, etc): limited capacity - sorry, no guestlist saturday, january 24th at sonar (early show) - $15 - ticket locations tba OZOMATLI - first ever headline show in vancouver!!! Ozomatli belong to a new breed of global music hoodlum alongside the likes of Manu Chao and Los De Abajos. They all play a kind of hi-octane pan-Latino dance music which mixes elements like ska, samba, salsa, punk, hip hop to varying degrees, and, in Ozomatli’s case, funk, Tex Mex, swing and soul as well. On stage, they rely mainly on live instruments, old style, and mash all their influences together with rocket-propelled abandon, new style. They’re all defiantly and fearlessly radical, politically and creatively, and they all deliver monstrously enjoyable live sets, the kind that keep you buzzing like a live wire for days after the event. Named after the Aztec god of dance, Ozomatli, or 'Ozo' for short, came together in burbs of mid 1990s LA when a Black-Chicano-Cuban-Japanese-Jewish-Filipino bunch of friends started to pool their love of everything from Tito Puente to Jimi Hendrix to Stetsasonic to The Clash. With names like Wil-Dog, Asdru, Raul and Kanetic MC, Ozomatli look and sound like they’ve come straight out of some underground US comic by the Hernandez brothers. Original members of the group include Jurassic 5's Chali 2na and Cut Chemist! The band have conquered the USA and the world by dint of relentless touring, which has honed their live show down to perfection. They're famous for giving their all for the allotted 60 minutes plus and then bouncing off the stage to carry on partying in amongst their audiences, a ruse which caused joyous havoc when Ozomatli played opened for Lenny Kravitz at the Plaza of Nations a few years ago. Their debut album 'Ozomatli' featured the hugely infectious hit 'Cumbia Cumbia' and their latest platter, 'Embrace The Chaos' was graced by contributions from Pos and TruGoy of De La Soul no less. Ozomatli's a new deity in the hood for us to say our prayers to!

I saw Ozomatli about two months ago when they came through supporting All American Rejects and Hoobastank.... it was such a good show.
They all came down on to the floor of the Commodore and started a massive conga line. Then they started a circle and a bunch of us were in the middle with them dancing and whatnot. It was cool because there wasn't a lot of people so they decided to get interactive. Totally fun experience!
