5.0 out of 5 stars Take note of how many reviews are FIVE star, November 1, 2005

This band is amazing. I caught the end of their live set - by accident - arriving to see the Neville Bros at a free festival in Detroit. WOW! I bought their latest studio release and was very impressed. Then, I found out about the Live at Fillmore disk and I'm nuts about it. The CD version has been worn out in my car and the DVD is being passed arround to turn others on to this fantasic band. They somehow make their gumbo of latin, rock and hip-hop sound like it was easy.

LIVE AT THE FILLMORE, the latest album from the Los Angeles band Ozomatli showcases an exceptional band delivering the goods in a stunning live performance. It also shows a possible glimpse into the future of American music in the 21st century.

The music of this band defines itself as a truely multi-cultural gumbo. Starting with a strong Latin foundation, they toss jazz, hip hop, dub, rai and rock into a funky stew that can't help but make you move. From the folksy CUANDO CANTO to the Beadouin groove of BELEIVE, Ozomalti hits the bullseye on all ten songs included on this CD. My favorite of all is the rousing immigrants anthem (WHO DISCOVERED) AMERICA.

If that's not enough, this set includes a bonus Cd of the same performance with about twenty extra minutes of music. While some live performance DVD's can be a little dull, this one delivers a visceral energy that you usually don't get sitting in your living room. This CD/DVD set is a must have for any adventurous music lover.

Ozomatli has always been touted as one of the best bands to see live. If you haven't seen ozomatli live, please make sure you mark them on your calender when they hit your town soon. You will not be dissapointed, and in fact, youll still feel good, and inspired days after the show.
The Ozomatli: Live at the Fillmore DVD does a great job of capturing this highly talented band as best as can be done, without actually being there dancing, sweating and laughing in person. From the beautiful spanish style accoustic guitar by Raul Pacheco to the silly erotic dancing of "Sheff" the band's trombone player. These musicians are all so deeply talented and they have so much fun doing what they do. The audio cd has tracks that are not show on the dvd, thats the only reason I didn't give this cd/dvd combo 5 stars.

The dvd also has cool behind the scene features of the band in their tour bus sharing laughs and ripping on each other. I hear they're recording a new record currently so their touring may come to a pause soon. Either way, this is one DVD/CD every concert lover should own. This band Rocks!
