"Ozomatli"

For those of you who like a little something different when it comes to music, you might be interested in checking out a band I was introduced to this evening. My friend Diana is over, and she pointed me in the direction of an interesting cross-cultural group called Ozomatli -- whose music she had recently come across herself. The group's website aptly describes them as "Los Angeles’ beloved Afro-Latin-and-beyond style-mashers".

You'll just have to listen to their music and see what they mean by that. Granted, hip-hop is not usually my first choice of music, and I'm not sure if I jump onto their activism bandwagon, but I did find their Middle-Eastern and Latin influences very different, yet catchy.
