Past Events
Family Concert Experience
Sunday, August 27, 2023
Mission Ballroom
The 2023 Family Concert featured the lively sounds of Ozomatli. Their music is as multifaceted as its members and influences. Meeting as young political activists and musicians, the original band formed in Los Angeles in 1995 to play a notorious urban-Latino-and-beyond collision of hip hop and salsa, dancehall and cumbia, samba and funk, merengue and comparsa, East LA R&B and New Orleans second line, Jamaican ragga and Indian raga—all while following a key mantra: it will take you around the world by taking you around Los Angeles.
Event Chairs: Amanda and Jonathan Alpert, Jenny and Don Strasburg, Stephanie and Sam Zaitz
