Given the many musical genres Ozomatli have played for more than 20 years, a collection of Mexican tunes by way of Jamaican rhythms should come as no surprise, right? Maybe, but this L.A. ensemble has gone into its Latin origins deep on this one. From traditional songs and standards to modern fare, Ozomatli place their sophisticated musicality and intense energy into celebrating inseparable connections between Mexican music and Caribbean sounds. Who better to assist than Sly Dunbar and Robbie Shakespeare? They produced the album and are far from the only guests. The set opener is a deep dread cover of Café Tacvba's "Eres," with Asdrubal Sierra's vocals hovering above the steamy dub consuming the mix. Amid the reverb and effects, Sabrina Luna's cello adds an element of mariachi and Sierra's trumpet confirms it. Herb Alpert's horn graces "Besame Mucho," with its slippery cumbia rhythm. Sly Robbie add dubby echoes as Alpert's fills duet with Sierra's vocals -- singing and rapping -- adding lightness to contrast with the heavy rhythms. Ozomatli deliver a killer version of Maná's "Oye Mi Amor" with rolling snares, funky flute, and bluesy guitars. The drenched-in-dub proceeding never loses its Mexican rock feel. Juanes adds a burning guitar break to a cover of Juan Gabriel's "Noa Noa." A ska rhythm with great saxophone fills from Ulises Bella accompanies the sweet melody.
