Ever find yourself listening to some latin music and you can't stop yourself from dancing? You could be in the grocery store, pushing a cart, cha cha cha-ing down the frozen food aisle. Or in your house, cooking (because there's nothing better than cooking to latin music) and you find yourself trying to shake it like Shakira. Hopefully I'm not the only one! I love latin music. I can't help myself. It makes me smile and want to channel Charro. Just give me some marraccas.
The newest band that I found is Ozomatli. Granted, they've been together for 12 years but I just found them. It's a melting pot of heavy latin influences coupled with English hip-hop and topped off with anti-war lyrics. Not that I actually know what the lyrics are but they sure sound great. As soon as the music starts to play on my iPod, I'm grooving in my car. And I don't care WHAT I look like to the other drivers on the road. I'm a prime candidate for that show on VH-1 where they secretly video people singing in their car. If it were a contest, I'd win for looking like the biggest idiot.
For that reason alone, everyone should download their music because it's food for the soul!

i had an old ozomatli album, but it was a little hardcore for me back in the day. i just gave a bunch of cds away and that was one of them. wish i'd given it to you for more auto-grooves.
