Hailing from Los Angeles, the Grammy Award-winning, cross-cultural party band Ozomatli fuses music from around the world in an urban-Latino-and-beyond 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. Not only musicians, these global activists have gone from hometown heroes to being named U.S. State Department Cultural Ambassadors and recipients of the National Council of LA Raza’s Humanitarian Award. The group’s orchestral collaborators include the Boston Symphony Orchestra, the National Symphony Orchestra, the Colorado Symphony, the San Diego Symphony, and the New York Pops. San Francisco Symphony Resident Conductor Donato Cabrera conducts.
