Latin/world beat/funk hybrid Ozomatli will play shows across the U.S. over the summer. Since group's last album, Street Signs, came out in June 2004, Ozomatli has toured almost continuously in support of the Grammy-winning release.
Now the 10-man ensemble has added another string of dates to its tour schedule to keep the guys busy over the summer.
Continuing their tour from the East Coast, Ozomatli will play the Bonnaroo Music Festival in Tennessee on June 11. Then they take a short break before heading to Lawrence, Kan., where they play the enormous Wakarusa Festival June 17.
Ozo returns to its homes state of California for a two-week run of dates beginning on June 24 in Agoura Hills.
Shows for the remainder of July will take place in major cities across the U.S., including: Dallas, Chicago, New York, Detroit, Baltimore, Los Angeles and San Diego.
August will bring Ozomatli back across the western U.S., starting with Phoenix, Ariz., on August 2. Several more dates in California will follow before they make it to the Pacific Northwest, playing shows in Spokane, Seattle, and Portland. August 13 will see the band in Austin, Tex., with the tour wrapping up in Red Rocks Amphitheatre outside Denver on August 17.
The majority of the dates from late July to the end of the tour will be with Tex-Mex rockers, Los Lonely Boys.
Just about every single Ozomatli concert ends with the band joining the audience on the dance floor, instruments in hand, for a drum circle and conga line.
And as a reporter from the Salt Lake City Tribune recently noted, "Who isn't happy going home late after a rousing round of the ‘Hokey-Pokey'?"
