If Los Angeles had a soundtrack, it would be Ozomatli. Since 1995, the multi-genre cultural powerhouse has blended Latin, hip-hop, funk, reggae, and global influences into an unmistakable sound that captures the city’s energy and diversity. Emerging from LA’s politically charged streets, Ozomatli has spent three decades uniting communities through music—earning three GRAMMY® Awards, performing at the Hollywood Bowl, and touring the world from New York to Tunisia, Mongolia, and beyond. Their socially conscious lyrics and infectious grooves have made them a beacon of unity, resilience, and celebration.
May 2025, Ozo kicks off the 30 Revolutions Tour—a tribute to three decades of music, culture, and connection. As part of the tour, $1 from every ticket sold will be donated to Sweet Relief and Backline to support mental health services for music industry professionals.
As they continue into their fourth decade, Ozomatli stands as a living testament to the past, present, and future of Los Angeles—moving hearts, minds, and dance floors across the globe.
Since its inception in 1995, innovation and creativity have defined Ozomatli. Hailing from Los Angeles, the group found a way to represent the city’s eclectic culture through music that appeals to the local community and the world beyond. Ozomatli’s success is exemplified in an impressive variety of genres from classic to modern Latino, urban, hip-hop and other world styles. The “Dioses del Baile,” or “Gods of Dance,” have created one of the most exciting, captivating and flat-out fun live shows touring today. They continue to harness their musical instincts by conceiving new concepts and forging new sounds that keep fans on their toes and the world dancing.
