O-ZO-MA-TLI! Ya Say Pues! Ya Say Pues!(For Chucky)

Posted almost 5 years ago
Alright, I know my Spanish SUCKS bigtime so if you know this chant that Ozomatli does at the end of their show & how to spell it correctly I'll edit this once I'm corrected. Tried to figure out what this means with online translators but I wasn't spelling 'Puay' right. Ya=already, Say=know, but I need some help with Puay or is it Puey? Update: Actually,I just talked to a mexican friend of mine & it's Pues, which means 'left'. So the phrase basically mean 'has already left' or 'Ozomatli has already left'.I watched the simulcast of their Coachella performance last night & they were as wonderful as when they performed at the Harmony Fair last June in Santa Rosa, CA. They do this drum circle at the end of their concerts where they go out into the crowd after their last song & keep the vibe going. Awesome! Here's a vid at another festival of them doing their thing. So much fun to see & experience! They really get the audience going:Love these guys so much & they have so much fun onstage too. They are an L.A. band that formed in '95 and have released four proper albums & one live cd. They fuse latin, rap, hip hop, world beats & rock, into an incredible energetic mix. They are also very socially conscious & play at various rallies for social/political issues which make them a well rounded party band!"Chango" live from Voodoo Fest '06:I have their self titled debut that came out in '98. I tried to upload a song but my puter is tired & won't cooperate but the above vid is from their debut. I work the poor thing too hard, poor baby!http://www.ozomatli.com/site.phphttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ozomatli

  5. Augusts1 says That was supposed to say '98, which I will change shortly here my smartass niece, lol! Yes since I'm now a vampire I can time travel as well, dontcha know?! Thanks sis, I'm posting this one too to M. Somehow I just knew you loved these guys! Hi Amber, I would say a must see since they are such a blast in concert. You can't help but laugh, smile, sing & dance when these guys play. They've made me happy to be alive both times I've seen them! Definitely an awesome party band with a social conscious which makes them even better. Is it a festival they are playing in Seattle?

  9. Augusts1 says You gotta see 'em sis, you'll love them. I just looked on their website & their going to be at The Orange Peel in Asheville, NC 5/30/07 which is just a month away. How far away is Asheville from where you are Michelle? Amber, Ozomatli w/ G. Love & Special Sauce & Slightly Stoopid? Wow, that should be an incredible show! Go for it!

  12. Oatmeal says I was working as an audio engineer at a festival where they were going to play. It poured so hard that they had to cancel. I was really bummed because it would have made sitting on the side of that stage all day worth it. Great vid.
