Saw a great show in Prospect Park last night: Ozomatli
This LA crew rocks hard on principle, pulling the cultural carpet out from under me whenever I started to get too comfy. Hip hop narrative on middle eastern melody with salsa rhythm, guitar, and horns - shaken, stirred, and scratched. By the end of the night Ozo-matli was echoing from the crowd's lips with feet stamping, and the band was blowing (their brass) through the crowd as we all kept up the percussion.
