Ozomatli

With an eclectic sound and a passion for performance, Ozomatli quickly became known as one of the hottest live bands in L.A. even before they released their first album. The nine-man band (sometimes 10) plays a heady mixture of hip-hop, rock, reggae, funk, and Latin music, never staying in one musical place for too long. Their self-titled 1998 debut put them on the map, but the follow-up expanded their audience even further, winning the band a 2002 Grammy for Best Latin Rock/Alternative Album.
