    "Brewing a vital concoction of Latin salsa, urban hip-hop and jazz-funk,
    Ozomatli formed in Los Angeles in the mid-'90s with a lineup including
    Raúl "El Bully" Pacheco, Ulises Bella, Jiro Yamaguchi, Jose "Crunchy"
    Espinosa, Cut Chemist, Wil-Dog, William "Echo" Marrufo, Pablo
    Castorena, Justin "Niño" Porée, Asdru Sierra and Chali 2na. After
    making their name on the local club circuit, the group made an
    appearance on the urban late-night talk show Vibe! and released their
    self-titled debut in June. Cut Chemist has also recorded as a solo act
    for Ubiquity." ~ John Bush, All Music Guide

    "Ozomatli symbolizes a future direction in music, an interactive direction;
    they are the epitome of world music, and yet, they are much more. I am
    here to tell you that the future of music is here--personified by Ozomatli.
    Their percussion instruments alone are imported from over five countries.
    With 13+ band members (depending on which musician friends are in the
    audience), expect horns, a scratch-master, guitar, drums, vocals, and of
    course--percussion--Ozomatli is a testament to world music!
    Ozomatli is interactive and therefore, revolutionary. You have NOT
    witnessed a perfomance such as Ozomatli's. Any attempt at description
    simply pales, is anorexic--Ozomatli is meant to be witnessed live to
    experience the full flavor.
    Imagine, if you will...
    You and a friend get through the line-i.d.at the-door ritual. You scope out
    the scene and try to catch up with the crowd's established buzz. The
    bartender updates you: next band in 10 minutes.
    You find the smoker's section. You are not disturbed by the blaring
    percussion and chants in the background. You assume it's the house
    muzak in between bands. You are unaware of the revolution taking
    place in the patio outside.
    Suddenly, the "muzak" seems to get louder and louder...
    As you exhale your last drag, the crowd of people being led inside by a
    band of musicians becomes shockingly apparent.
    "What the hell..?!" is all you can think of. " - *Alt.ernaZine
