Ozomatli continues their strong relationship with radio partners both in their hometown of Los Angeles and around the nation. This past weekend, SiriusXM’s prominent Latino channels La Kueva and Caliente presented the world premiere of Spanish single “Paleta.” Newest Los Angeles radio station KCSN will be ingraining the band in their Latin Alternative music programming.

In addition, those who pre-order will have access to the band’s latest videos, track streams and more before anyone else!

About Ozomatli:
Having originated in East Los Angeles, the city and its elements are firmly at Ozomatli’s core.  The city, likewise, shares a mutual admiration for the band, as evidenced by the band’s partnerships with the Los Angeles Dodgers and, perhaps more impressively, the Los Angeles City Council’s proclamation of every April 23rd as “Ozomatli Day.”  Reaching far beyond the city limits, though, the band has also served as Cultural Ambassadors for the U.S. State Department, collaborated with the Boston and New York Pops Orchestras, and they were the first band to be asked to give a musical talk at the TED Conference in San Francisco.
