Ozomatli - Ya Viene El Sol
WOO HOO BITCHES.
Sorry…just quite ecstatic to be out of the vice grip that was the Killer Kung Fu Wolf Flu. In celebration of my new non-diseased state, I decided to post a song that makes me wanna jump outta my seat and shake my ass all night long.
Ozomatli is a little known (to the masses) but WONDERFUL band that is dear to my heart from out of the City of Angels. They have been on the fringe edges of popular rotation off and on for well over a decade, but have a knack for highly political statements, scenes and music that seems to not be quite so radio friendly.
Ozo (as they are affectionatly known) is a band that could not have been created anywhere but LA and are very much a part of the city now. They will gig anywhere from the house of blues to a anti-war rally to a dodgers game. Their culture clash of hip hop, r&b, salsa, reggae, funk touches on everything from playing nice with mother earth to anthems of hope to party grooves. Also, as a reflection of their multiethnic/cultural perspective, they sing/rap in English and Spanish - mostly depending on what they are trying to get accross. I have seen them several times in concert and the number would be much higher if they visited South Florida more often (speaking of the devil, they’ll be in Ft. Lauderdale on March 7!).
So please enjoy one of my favorite songs by them. It makes me wanna stick a wreathe of flowers in my hair and frollick through through a park. If I didn’t have work today, thats where you would find me.
PSSSSSSS - they have LOTS of albums. I personally recommend catching them live if they’re ever in your town as they put on a HELLUVA show. They’ve actually just kicked off an east coast tour so check em out. Its usually standing room only but everyone is happy to be there. And, its usually a very moderate priced ticket. My favorite album of the bunch is Street Signs but they’re all quality.

(REPEAT 4X)LYRICS IN ENGLISH
look here comes the sun
Florescent, it opens like a beautiful flower
Heat up my soul
And erase my pain
With your light, you bring life
With you warmth, you give love
But heat my soul
And erase my pain
With your light, you bring life
with your warmth, you give love
Like a beautiful flower
Light my path
And guide my passage
Advance me so that I may rest
forever you fulfill
Light my path
and guide my passage
Advance me so that I may rest
forever you fulfill
Like a beautiful flower
look here comes the sun
the sun is already coming
Florescent, it opens like a beautiful flower
Like a beautiful flower
Take away my pain
Erase my pain
Take away my pain
Give me love, so I can live a better life
Lovely sun, lovely sun
Lovely sun give me love, so I can live a better life
