Ozomatli Working Hard in the Studio

Saharra J. White

Wildog leader of the music group Ozomatli, discusses the future of the band. Ozomatli is currently busy working on their next record in the studio. Starting next month the band will be touring in the United States with Ziggy Marley and the Wailers.
The next cd released by the band will be bilingual. It will be featuring songs in English as well as Spanish. Over the years Ozomatli has changed members for many reasons. "Some have got married...some were in other bands and decided to stay with them. ...With such a big band it’s hard to keep everybody around...I feel good about the line up we have now," said Wildog.
The group has been involved with a number of humanitarian causes. Such as anti-war and occupation movements. The movements they have been apart of recently include the South Central Farmers, and proimmigration rights.
"...Music can be the fuel to youth movements," said Wildog.
Today music is impacting the youth around the world. Ozomatli is making a positive impact with their music.
When asked what he thinks about the immigration situation and how its being dealth with the Bush administration Wildog said "Personally I would rather pay for the health care and education for any human being illegal or not, than spend one cent on a bomb dropping in Iraq."
The group is extremely excited about their new album coming to stores soon.
