Hit: 4 Stars
Langly, uno de los Pistoleros Solitarios de "Expediente X", luc?a en la serie una camiseta con el logo de Ozomatli. ?Casualidad, gui?o, publicidad? M?s bien una muestra del impacto que el grupo caus? con su debut hom?nimo, con su mezcla de rock, ska, funk, hip hop y ritmos latinos.
Los europeos estamos acostumbrados a ese caj?n de sastre llamado rock mestizo, y hemos sufrido en silencio la aparici?n de grupetes que esconden su mediocridad tras la etiqueta de "globalidad enrollada". Pero para los yanquis, Ozomatli fue toda una sorpresa.
Despu?s de tres a?os de gira, el septeto multiracial de Los Angeles regresa con las ideas m?s claras: si en su primer trabajo fusionaban estilos en un mismo tema, en "Embrace The Chaos" tienden a diferenciarlos en distintas canciones, y para ello recurren a varios productores. Steve Berlin, de Los Lobos, se encarga de potenciar los sonidos m?s latinos en "Pa Lante" (con el viol?n del lobo David Hidalgo y la kora de Prince Diabate), "T?mido" (con influencias cubanas), y el bullanguero "Mi Alma" (de ra?ces mejicanas).
La faceta m?s rapera de Ozomatli queda plasmada en las producciones de Bob Powers: "Lo que dice"; "1234" (al estilo de la Old School, con De La Soul); "Vocal Artillery" (con los recitados de Wil.I.Am (de Black Eyed Peas), Kanetic Source y Medusa, y el efectivo scratch de DJ Cut Chemist); y el pausado "Embrace The Chaos" (con Common y una trompeta jazz). Por su parte, el productor Mario Caldato aporta interesantes fusiones en "Dos cosas ciertas" (una cumbia interrumpida por un ritmo drum'n'bass y el rap en ingl?s de Kanetic Source), y en "Sue?os en realidad" (donde los sonidos brasile?os se funden con el scratch de DJ Spinobe, los metales y las percusiones).
En lengua nahuatl, Ozomatli es el dios azteca del baile y, sin duda, el grupo angelino hace honor a su nombre.
Embrace the Chaos Poster
The follow-up to Ozomatli's 1998 eponymous debut, Embrace the Chaos builds on the band's proven strengths: a masterful command of a palette of musical styles, a firm commitment to social activism, and an unending devotion to the power of rhythm. Like the L.A. landscape from which the group emerged, Ozo's music is a polyglot of cultures, whether it's the Puerto Rican salsa of "Dos Cosas Ciertas," the Mardi Gras funk of "1, 2, 3, 4," the Brazilian batucada beat of "Suenos en Realidad," or the Cuban son influence on "Timido." The result is a gorgeously diverse sound that changes from song to song without seeming disjointed or random. Rap fans may be disappointed to note that Jurassic 5's Chali 2na and Cut Chemist are no longer with the group, but the album is hardly suffering from a dearth of hip-hop; in-house rapper Kanetic Source and DJ Spinobi offer their talents, while notable cameos are provided by De La Soul ("1, 2, 3, 4"), Medusa ("Vocal Artillery"), and Common ("Embrace the Chaos"). Even though the album is capped at an efficient 11 songs, it doesn't come up short. With so much different music represented, Embrace the Chaos is like a dozen albums fused into one. --Oliver WangInternational Music CDs
