After three decades of fusing Latin rhythms with reggae, samba, funk, hip-hop and jazz, the six founding members of Grammy-winning band Ozomatli are hitting the road for their 30 Revolutions Tour. The band, known for their socially conscious lyrics and diverse musical styles, will bring their celebratory show to The Guild Theatre in Silicon Valley on March 20.

Why it matters

Ozomatli has built a loyal following over the past 30 years by blending global sounds and using their platform to advocate for social justice causes. As one of the few long-standing independent Latin fusion bands, their longevity and continued artistic evolution is a testament to their commitment to their craft and their community.

The details

Ozomatli's six founding members - Raúl Pacheco, Wil-Dog Abers, Ulises Bella, Asdru Sierra, Jiro Yamaguchi, and Justin Porée - have been playing together since the mid-1990s. In that time, they've earned three Grammys, toured internationally as U.S. State Department Cultural Ambassadors, and maintained a reputation for their high-energy live shows. While the band's lineup has seen some changes over the years, the core members have stuck together, driven by their shared passion for music and social activism.

  • Ozomatli officially celebrated their 30th anniversary on April 1, 2025.
