SUMMARY:Ozomatli w/ Lobo Lara
DESCRIPTION:If the city of Los Angeles had a soundtrack\, it would be Ozomatli. Since their formation in 1995\,\nthe six-piece\, multi-genre band has been a cultural force\, blending Latin\, hip-hop\, funk\, reggae\,\nand global influences into an unmistakable sound that embodies the energy and diversity of LA.\nIn 2025\, Ozomatli celebrates an incredible milestone: 30 years of bringing their dynamic\, genre-\ndefying music to audiences around the world.\nEmerging from the politically charged streets of Los Angeles\, Ozomatli’s origins are steeped in\nactivism and a desire to unite communities through music. This ethos has carried the band across\nthree decades\, earning them a dedicated global following and accolades that include three\nGRAMMY® Awards\, four iconic performances at the Hollywood Bowl\, a TED Talk\, and\ncountless sold-out shows worldwide. From high-profile TV appearances on The Today Show\,\nJimmy Kimmel Live\, and Austin City Limits to groundbreaking tours in places like Burma and\nMongolia\, Ozomatli’s music and message transcend borders\, languages\, and cultures.\nThe ensemble’s six founding members—Asdru Sierra (vocals\, trumpet)\, Raul Pacheco (vocals\,\nguitars)\, Uli Bella (saxophone\, vocals)\, Wil-Dog Abers (bass)\, Jiro Yamaguchi (percussion)\, and\nJustin Poree (vocals\, percussion)—have remained true to their mantra: “We take you around the\nworld through the heartbeat of Los Angeles.” Their music is a vibrant collision of styles\, drawing\nfrom salsa\, dancehall\, cumbia\, samba\, funk\, merengue\, New Orleans second line\, Jamaican\nragga\, and Indian raga. This eclecticism is at the heart of their sound\, resonating with audiences\nof all ages and backgrounds.\nOzomatli’s legacy extends far beyond their music. Known for their tireless community\ninvolvement\, the band has used their platform to amplify causes that matter\, from immigrant\nrights to education and beyond. Their ability to combine socially conscious lyrics with infectious\ngrooves has made them a beacon of unity and resilience\, a band that celebrates life while\naddressing the struggles that connect us all.\nTheir 30th anniversary is not just a celebration of longevity but also a testament to their enduring\nrelevance and innovation. With a career that began with their groundbreaking 1998 self-titled\ndebut\, they continue to evolve and inspire. Whether performing new material or beloved classics\,\nOzomatli’s live shows remain a jubilant experience\, igniting dance floors and uniting\ncommunities.\nAs they embark on their fourth decade\, Ozomatli stands as a symbol of Los Angeles ’past\,\npresent\, and future—a band whose music is as multifaceted and vibrant as the city they call\nhome. Here’s to 30 years of Ozomatli\, and the many more adventures yet to come \n\n \n\nLobo Lara\nLobo Lara invites you to a world filled with latin vibes and Cumbia rhythms with a new twist. With the release of his first album “Immigrants” featuring the single “PALETAS.” This single landed him a deal with Americano Label based out of Texas and a remix with Principe Q\, son of A.B from the Kumbia Kings and nephew of Legendary Selena Quintanilla. Raised and rooted in Boise\, Idaho\, this latino artist/ producer spends his time cutting\, pasting\, sampling and composing world rhythms. His unique style is a collection of sounds that have impacted him throughout his life\, using sounds from CUMBIA. I want the people to feel proud and not ashamed that we come from different cultures. Culture is something special that we get to pass on and I think doing it with my music is a perfect way to connect at another level\, a level where racism doesn’t exist. Every day I see people choosing sides and we keep dividing each other\, with these repercussions I push myself to release music that promotes UNITY.

SUMMARY:Avi Kaplan - Move Our Souls
DESCRIPTION:Avi Kaplan\n\n \n\nBy the time Avi Kaplan launched his solo career with 2017’s Sage and Stone\, he’d already built an audience that stretched across the globe\, racking up three GRAMMY Awards as a member of the platinum-selling vocal group\, Pentatonix. As the group’s profile continued to climb though\, Avi knew he needed to return to his own artistic foundation — to the organic roots\, country and soul music that had provided the soundtrack to his upbringing in rural California. \nNow\, following 2020’s well-received EP\, I’ll Get By and 2022’s highly acclaimed LP\, Floating On A Dream (produced by Shooter Jennings)\, Avi is set to release Feel Alright\, a new 5-track EP on Fantasy Records that further showcases his extraordinary artistic ability. Produced by Kaplan along with Reid Leslie (Devon Gilfillian)\, Feel Alright blends modern sounds with classic influences into something inventive\, fresh and wholly original. \nThe new music is the start of a busy 2024 for the celebrated singer-songwriter. Between mid-May and mid-June\, Avi will visit 16 cities on a tour across the U.S.\, with confirmed dates in the UK and Europe set for September. \n\nSocial Links\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGuthrie Brown\n\n \n\nGuthrie Brown a Nashville transplant by way of “old Montana” began playing the guitar at age six. By the age of seventeen\, he journeyed to Nashville to pursue the dream of being a professional songwriter\, recording & performing artist. \nAfter settling in Music City\, he recorded and produced his first self-titled EP\, which got the attention of Nashville’s premiere independent radio station\, WRLT Lightning 100. Capitalizing on the initial success of his debut EP\, Guthrie recorded and released his second EP “Spirit of the Elk” with producer Stuart Mathis (The Wallflowers\, Lucinda Williams). Following his second release\, he recruited his longtime friends and musicians John Ogelby (drums)\, Will Honaker (bass\, keys) and John McNally (guitar) to join the band. Their musical pairing has since been compared to something as strong and pure as Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. \nSince the release of “Spirit of the Elk”\, Guthrie and his band of brothers\, have continued their regiment of non-stop touring including coveted spots opening for Jonny Lang\, Willie Nelson\, Robert Randolf\, and Bears Den and festivals such as Gasparilla\, and CMJ Fest\, just to name a few. \nIn the summer of 2016\, Guthrie signed his first publishing deal with BMG. He will spend the second half of the year touring and recording with multi Grammy Award winning producer\, Jacquire King (Kings of Leon\, Norah Jones\, Tom waits\, Moon Taxi\, Of Monsters and Men\, James Bay).
