Ozomatli

Last night we saw Ozomatli perform (our fourth time). Ozomatli are a tight group of very talented musicians who blend styles to create an eclectic and lively sound. Sadly on this occasion their set didn't start till 11pm as their flight was delayed and because we'd parked in a parking station that closed at midnight, we missed half their set so our car wouldn't turn into a pumpkin. The half we did see was fantastic - I've never seen anyone step of a 15-hour flight that had been delayed by more than 10 hours and then perform at their enthusiastic best! It was great to hear some of my favourites - "City of Angels" and "Chango" - as well as new songs from their new album "Fire Away".

Luckily we bought the album for our trip home - listened to most of it on the way. It is a bit of a change for Ozomatli. It's more sedated than their previous albums, but it's still fun, lively, humourous and, as always, full of social commentary.

Loved the show, love the album. http://www.ozomatli.com/
