    Bio
    Street Signs, the bands first full-length studio album in three years, bears this new Middle Eastern influence out in typical Ozo style, by mixing it into their trademark blend of hip-hop and Latin styles. When the bands original MC Chali 2na (now of Jurassic 5) returns to take center stage on Whos To Blame, he drops rhymes about presidential motorcades and Yakuza tattoos over a reedy gnawa trance session complete with tablas and hand-claps. Believe, the albums uplifting opener that looks for hope in destruction, features Veteran Moroccan sintir master Hassan Hakmoun, whos joined by the acclaimed French-Jewish gypsy violinsts Les Yeux Noir and The Prague Symphony (yes, The Prague Symphony). The band invited Palmieri, the legendary Latin jazz and salsa pianist, to play on Nade Te Tira, where his gorgeous solo piano lines set off a round of horn-blasted salsa fusion. Along with Palmieri, Hakmoun, Les Yeux Noirs, Chali 2na, and the Prague Symphony (who grace three tracks), Ozomatli are also joined by Los Lobos singer-guitarist David Hidalgo (Santiago) and the bands original DJ, Cut Chemist (Dejame en Paz). Theres also the bands new MC (Jabu, formerly of 4th Avenue Jones) and guest drummer, Mario Calire (formerly of The Wallflowers).
