Ozomatli - Fire Away -2010-
(Latin, Rock, Funk, Hip-Hop)

From: Los Angeles
Website: http://www.ozomatli.com/

In their fourteen years together as a band, celebrated Los Angeles culture-mashers Ozomatli have gone from being hometown heroes to being named U.S. State Department Cultural Ambassadors. Their music— a notorious urban-Latino-and-beyond collision of hip hop and salsa, dancehall and cumbia, samba and funk, merengue and comparsa, East LA R&B and New Orleans second line, Jamaican ragga and Indian raga— has long followed a key mantra: it will take you around the world by taking you around L.A. Fire Away is Ozo's 5th studio album and sees the band moving towards a more pop oriented, commercial sound. The music is still fun energetic however and Ozo can still create some catchy infectious rhythms.
