It’s hard to describe a band like Ozomatli. Ska, funk, hip-hop, or reggae? Ozomatli is some crazy hybrid of those genres. The band moves from Eastern European tones into Latin grooves seamlessly. The lyrics are bilingual and socially conscious. A great band to jam to on those hot summer days. Stop by the SXSWfm Radio Day Stage on Saturday, March 16, to see Ozomatli and more SXSW Showcasing Artists.
