 Ozomatli Embrace the Chaos CD review on AudioRevolution.com
Ozomatli’s members rarely slow down to catch their breath, but when they do, as on the instrumental "Pensativo (Interlude)," they sound like the sophisticated soundtrack to "West Side Story."
Since Ozomatli don’t sing about shaking their bon-bons, as does Ricky Martin, chances are they won’t catch the tag end of today’s Latin pop wave.
But because they’re so darn good, the members of Ozomatli are like a whole wide ocean unto themselves, which is a kind of chaos well worth embracing.

 Taiwan Fun's CD Review: Ozomatli
Ozomatli were defined as the 'future of music' by rock legend, Carlos Santana, who opened for him last year in Anaheim, California.
However, Ozomatli doesn't beat the listener over the head but instead slips its subversive message in between tasty grooves so that you're dancing long before you realize what the lyrics are.
If Ozomatli really are the future of music, the future will be funky, multi-lingual, multi-ethnic, and definitely something to look forward to.

 Rkstar CD Review: Ozomatli- Live at the Fillmore
So, Ozomatli is such a band to combine not only the immediacy and flow of hip-hop with the pulsating soul of Latin music while sounding nothing like the TRL derivatives of the respective idioms.
The band combines the seemingly requisite guitar-bass-drums combo with percussionists, horn players, a couple rappers, and DJ Spinobi (with a name like that, it has to be good) on turntables.
The wonderful part is that at an Ozomatli concert, divisions between different people (be it by race, gender, social class, dance ability) seem to evaporate, and everyone locks into that élan vital that is the soundtrack to perhaps the best dance party that ever existed.
