Award winning music group “Ozomatli” to perform at Pattaya Orphange

World-famous, Grammy award-winning American musical group Ozomatli will perform a very special and private concert for the Youth Outreach Assembly at the Pattaya Orphanage on May 16 starting at 5 p.m. They will then follow this up the following day, May 17, with a free live performance at the Central World Plaza in Bangkok commencing at 6 p.m.

Grammy award-winning Ozomatli will perform in Pattaya and Bangkok on May 16-17.
This Latin hip-hop band from Los Angeles, California has collaborated with superstar Carlos Santana and their awards and honors include three Grammy awards and two Billboard Latin awards. Their music has been featured in over two dozen Hollywood movies and numerous hit television shows. They have been storming up the Billboard charts and redefining musical genres for fourteen years.
In 2007 they were invited by the U.S. State Department to serve as official Cultural Ambassadors on a series of government-sponsored international tours to Asia, Africa, South America, and the Middle East, tours that linked Ozomatli to a tradition of cultural diplomacy that also includes the esteemed likes of Duke Ellington, Benny Goodman, and Louis Armstrong.
In places like Tunisia, India, Jordan, and Nepal, Ozo didn’t just play rousing free public concerts, but offered musical workshops and master classes and visited arts centers, summer camps, youth rehabilitation centers, and even a Palestinian refugee camp. Ozo were also the first Western band to do a concert in Nepal and the event was the country’s first peaceful mass gathering that was not a protest or religious ceremony.
For the U.S Embassy in Nepal, Ozomatli were a model of how diversity promotes change. According to an official embassy release, “Ozomatli is living proof that diverse backgrounds make a stronger and more prosperous whole. Ozomatli’s nine members are committed to addressing social issues of local, national and international importance and they use the power of their own diversity to achieve this.”
“I’ve always felt that music is the key to every culture, the beginning of an understanding,” says vocalist and trumpet player Asdru Sierra. “It’s a language far more universal than politics.”
