Two-time Grammy winners,
Ozomatli
take their name from
the Nahuatl word for the Aztec astrological symbol of
the monkey, which is also a god of dance, fire, the new
harvest, and music.
Ozomatli
is a multiethnic ten piece band, playing primarily
Latin, hip-hop, and rock. Known for their wide
array of musical styles - including salsa, jazz, funk,
reggae, and several other styles, following 9/11, the
band made a further commitment to a new direction in
music, embracing North African and Arab musical styles
in addition to their original sounds. The band was

Ozomatli
won the Grammy award for Best Latin Rock/Alternative
