826LA Good Times Music Issue – special preview!
Ozomatli’s ‘City of Angels’ is a Tour of LA
By Alanis
The Ozomatli album “Don’t Mess With the Dragon’’ has a cool song called “The City of Angels.” It is awesome because it talks about Los Angeles and it’s awesome because it talks about different places in L.A. like Silver Lake, Fairfax, Bell [Gardens], Carthay, Crescent Heights and Hollywood. The song is also about Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie being on the front page of the newspaper and how “Brad Pitts cheatin’ front page reality.” It was like more of a rap than an ordinary song.
Places that Ozomatli performed this album are:
India, Nepal, Tunisia, Jordan , Egypt, the show Late Night with Conan O’Brien, the jazz festival in New Orleans, and at the Bonnaroo music festival in Tennessee.
