Ozomatli

This is a party record built by a band too restless to stay in one lane — cumbia slams into hip hop slams into salsa horns, sometimes inside the same song. "Cut Chemist Suite" is the one that shows their whole hand, turntables and live percussion trading blows. It's messy on purpose. Skip the interludes if you're impatient, but the grooves earn the runtime.
