About the Artist

Ozomatli is a pioneering Los Angeles-based band known for their dynamic fusion of Latin, hip hop, funk, salsa, cumbia, samba, and reggae, producing a vibrant, urban-global sound uniquely their own. Emerging from the multicultural and politically charged environment of 1990s L.A., they began as activists' voices, performing at labor protests and community events, which imbues their lively performances with a spirit of resistance and community. Their live shows are energetic and celebratory, often inspiring audience participation and dance, weaving a rich tapestry of cultural rhythms and socially conscious lyrics. Fans recall their role as cultural ambassadors for the U.S. State Department, traveling worldwide and engaging with diverse audiences in workshops and impromptu collaborations, which adds a uniquely global perspective rarely seen in similar acts. Their ability to blend complex musical traditions while maintaining a party atmosphere makes their concerts feel both inclusive and intellectually engaging, a rare feat that keeps crowds coming back for more.
