Upcoming Ozomatli Album and Tour Dates



Ozomatli


Los Angeles culture-mashers Ozomatli are set to release their new album, Fire Away April 20 on Mercer Street Records / Downtown Records.



Fire Away is the Grammy Award-winning band's fifth studio full-length, and first for the NYC based Mercer Street Records / Downtown Records. Produced by acclaimed producer Tony Berg (Aimee Mann, Pete Yorn), Fire Away features eleven new Ozo songs.



Ozomatli's music is a 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.



2009 proved to be a busy year for Ozomatli, serving as U.S. cultural ambassadors with a U.S. sponsored State Department trip that included Ozomatli community outreach and performances in Myanmar, Vietnam, and Thailand. The band was also honored to play for President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama at the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute's 32nd Annual Award Gala, held in Washington DC in September.



2010 looks to continue Ozomatli's feverish pace. In addition to hitting the road in support of Fire Away, in February Ozomatli will be performing at the TED Conference and two shows in Hawaii. March brings two shows at the SXSW Festival in Austin, collaborating with the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra as well as the Boston Pops Orchestra for the 125th Pops Anniversary Celebration in early May, and once again serving as U.S. Cultural Ambassadors with a State Department trip to China and Mongolia.
