  Hip Hop Rapture: Ozomatli

Ozomatli



Brewing a vital concoction of Latin salsa, urban hip-hop, and jazz-funk, Ozomatli formed in Los Angeles in the mid-'90s, eventually settling on a lineup that included Raúl "El Bully" Pacheco, Ulises Bella, Jiro Yamaguchi, Cut Chemist, Wil-Dog Abers, Mairo Calire, Rene "Spinobi" Dominguez, Justin "Niño" Porée, Asdrubal Sierra, and Jabu. After making their name on the local club circuit, the group made an appearance on the urban late-night talk show Vibe! and released their self-titled debut in June of 1998. Embrace the Chaos was released in 2001, followed by an EP, Coming Up, in 2003. A third full length, Street Signs, came out in 2004. Cut Chemist has also recorded as a solo act for Ubiquity. ~ John Bush, All Music Guide
