Product Review: OzoKidz CD by Ozomatli (All Ages)

Acclaimed Latin Fusion Group, Ozomatli, Creates a Kid’s Album!

Ever heard of the band Ozomatli? They are a huge musical fusion band from Los Angeles, even being named U.S. State Cultural Ambassadors in 2007, who started out 18 years ago playing everything from hip hop and funk to salsa and cumbia. They are Grammy award winners and have traveled the globe promoting their music. But are they considered children’s music? No, nope, naw, not so much. Until now. Ozomatli is releasing their first children’s album entitled OzoKidz that drops on September 25, right in the middle of Hispanic Heritage Month. Excellent! If you know Ozomatli and their music, you may be a little surprised to hear them talking about avoiding germs and taking care of trees, but it works! It’s catchy and totally danceable with all the bilingual goodness of Ozomatli. Check out the free download of Balloon Fest and I dare you not to tap your toes to the beat. My daughter LOVES it!
