Ok, since my puter wouldn't allow me to upload songs last night & it is today I'm posting a few more for all ya'all to hear. "Como Ves" was featured as an instrumental on the program "Bill Nye The Science Guy" as their theme song at the intro to the program, so you might recognize this. It's a very energetic, fun song!I'll post another song in the comments for your listening pleasure called "Cu...
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 ...
I love this song!Ozomatli played at Sasquatch, and put on a great show. I owe you all a write-up of my big adventure at Sasquatch, and it will come soon. But first I have to survive a job interview tomorrow morning, followed by a night on the town with Amber.The job interview should be a piece of cake...
I decided to crawl out from under my rock today and tell you about the fun time I had Sunday night...Wow! What a fantastic evening it was - even though I was exhausted the next day and I'm sure it factored into the cold I now find myself with...When I heard Ozomatli was playing in Bellingham a while back, I decided that I was going. By myself. Bellingham on a Sunday is much too far for even ...
Tomorrow is the big day! I've been waiting since last Memorial Day for this "festival":http://www.sasquatchfestival.com/ to come around again, and I'm so excited that I'm able to make it again this year. Arcade Fire, Bjork, Grizzly Bear, the Hold Steady, Ozomatli and many more bands are about to give me the time of my life (or, at least, the time of this year). I'll hopefully have some footage ...

The evening began rather auspiciously. I had been looking forward to seeing Ozomatli for months, but the night was rainy and the first to show up at the Crystal Ballroom were teenagers, parents with their kids and kids talking about how they overcame “white man’s disease” (as far as I could tell, they still couldn’t dance). Fortunately, my concerns did not materialize; the audience turned
No need to remind all of you that it is Superbowl weekend. I also probably don't need to mention that I am an avid football fan. I started my morning playing Ozomatli "Super Bowl Sundae". I sounded like a good celebratory song for the weekend mood. Maybe I should follow it up with some AC/DC "Thunderstruck" which seems to be a common theme at all football events.Additionally, I also had to ...
No matter how hard you dig the 70's continue to remain a gold mine. I got informed about the 70's soul folk reggae hybrid ensemble Ozo, thanks to a 12'' reissue of Anambra, their one off disco smash.
As part of the Solar-Powered Concert series, conga line aficionados Ozomatli will be performing for free at Republic Park on Wednesday. This is definitely a band worth seeing live, they have an energy like no other.Note: Not sure how you can win free tickets to a free show.From Austin Decider: Fans of polyrhythmic, polyglot party [...]
I posted a song by Ozomatli a little while ago, from their album Don't Mess with the Dragon. Now I'm going to be reviewing the whole album. And oh, it is good.The album starts off with the track I posted earlier, Can't Stop. It's a very fun, upbeat song with a nice rock edge. It's very catchy and cheerful, and a good opener to the album, giving a good impression of what to expect.However, Latin...
Ok, in all fairness, a lot of people probably did. Well, ok, I doubt anyone ever said that, but if you asked them, they probably would. Anyway, my point is, they were wrong.In comes Ozomatli... Their songs are just... a lot of fun! Probably not the kind of thing that will get you a lot of "cool" points in Indie circles, but I just can't resist.I uploaded the first song I heard by them, and a so...
