Review

Rolling Stone (7/9-23/98, p.138) - Stars (out of 5) - "...Ozomatli live up to their namesake (the Aztec god of dance) by lacing buoyant cumbias...and taunting merengues...with dub and hip-hop..."
Q (8/99, p.110) - 3 stars (out of 5) - "...The eclecticism is authentically vibrant..."
Melody Maker (6/5/99, p.36) - 4 stars (out of 5) - "...OZOMATLI radiates pure joy. Mariachi guitars, turntables, slick rhymes, salsa rhythms - you name it - are all attacked with...passion most political bands reserve soley for the Man....Man the barricades, the party's only just begun."
NME (Magazine) (6/5/99, p.35) - 7 out of 10 - "...Cuban funk, salsa and traditional Latin musics...underscored by a killer hip-hop sensibility....the slow-burning, lengthier album take of 'Superbowl Sundae' is the standout..."

Recorded at NRG and Music Grinder Studios, Los Angeles, California.

Taking their moniker from the Aztec monkey god of dance, Ozomatli displays every bit of the exuberance and playfulness of their namesake, throwing in some of the creature's often-overlooked ferocity to get their point across. Formed in the slums of LA, the band boasts a multi-ethnic membership which often numbers well over the ten core members featured on the album. Legendary for the infectious energy and contagious groove achieved in the live arena, where their shows often spill into the street and become spontaneous street parties, Ozomatli made sure that their self titled debut would do everything possible to capture the live experience in a recorded setting.

OZOMATLI reacts to the chaos and danger of their home town with a wistful, often cynical message: the album's opener, "Come Ves" warns against believing everything you're told, atop a furious backdrop of Latin accompaniment, while the chilling "Coming War" follows today's violent trends to their logical end, fusing cool soul sounds with the staccato rap performance of Chali 2na, who delivers an angry diatribe about the genocide he sees around him, arguing that revolution may be the only solution.
