The ten-piece band Ozomatli once described their sound as “you drive down Sunset Boulevard and turn off your radio and roll down your windows and all the music that comes out of each and every different car, whether it’s salsa, cumbia, merengue, or hip hop, funk, or whatever, it’s that crazy blend that’s going on between that cacophony of sound.”
Wow. With their wide array of musical styles—an urban-Latino collision of hip hop and salsa, dancehall and cumbia, samba and funk, merengue and comparsa, East LA rhythm & blues, Jamaican reggae and Indian raga—the band has always followed a key mantra: taking you around the world by taking you around L.A. Experience it yourself tonight at 7:30 p.m. at the MACC in the Pavilion/Courtyard. Tickets are $35. |
