CD Reviews

A teaser for great things to come

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Ozomatli is undoubtedly an incredible live act with enough energy onstage to light up a large city. Their blend of musical sounds (hip-hop, funk, rock, folklorico, norteno, etc. etc.) is really unique, and the passion they have in their singing is indisputable. So, with that, they released this brilliant 6-song EP as a follow up to their outstanding "Embrace the Chaos." The CD grabs your attention from the very beginning, with "Pensando En Mi Vida", which has a classic Ozo sound. "Let Me Dream" is somewhat of an anomaly, as its entirely sung in English, yet somehow it works (it takes some getting used if you're a longtime Ozo listener). It's got a smooth groove to it, and the vocals work, unlike many other Spanish-singing bands trying to break into the English-speaking market. "Esa Morena" is a great song to dance to with a beautiful girl at your side, and "Ya Viene El Sol" is bound to become a classic Ozo song. I saw the band perform this track live at a packed show at the Fillmore in Dec. '03 and it was incredible, and remarkably, the CD version doesn't lack any of that energy. This EP is by far the best buy for the price of most releases I've seen out today. Each and every song is a winner (another rarity). Highly recommended."
Quite amazing

"ozomatli works with a variety of styles and sounds and talents and it creates...wow. live they have enough energy to pull in even someone who hates latin and or rap and hip hop. they draw the crowd in and preform to max. fully corordinated dance on stage well playing instuments is very impressive. often times when a band is great live you will buy their cd to find that it is not as great as you thought. not so with ozomatli, the cd is something i have listened to over and over again. they sing about actual issues, which you dont see so much in main stream music these days, and they are increadibly proficiant at their instruments. the sax/clarinet/obo player is increadible, to be able to go that high on a clarinet would have to take a life time of learning."
Great Live Band
