Although they won a Grammy for their previous studio album, 2004's {^Street Signs}, the ten-piece multicultural music collective known as {$Ozomatli} have always been first and foremost a live act, and experiencing the group's explosive, energetic stage show, which mixes {\salsa}, {\punk}, {\reggae}, {\funk}, {\hip-hop}, and touches of {\jazz} into a barrio gumbo block party with leftist leanings, is like watching a renegade {\Gypsy} street circus come to life, complete with massive percussion and massed horns. At last, perhaps to honor their tenth anniversary, {$Ozomatli} have released a ten-track live set recorded at the legendary {~Fillmore} in San Francisco in late 2004, along with an accompanying DVD of the concert that adds additional songs plus backstage footage and interviews. The CD features versions of the undeniably funky {&"Saturday Night,"} the lovely {&"Believe,"} and the poignant {&"(Who Discovered) America?,"} all from {^Street Signs}, as well as earlier {$Ozomatli} gems like the racing, jittery {&"Como Ves,"} but it is the visual representation of the show on the DVD that really shows the full force of this incredible group, which has built a new template for what an American band can be in the 21st century. Passionate, diverse, fiercely independent, and ardently political, {$Ozomatli} have an ace in the hole: they're one of the best dance bands in recent memory. ~ Steve Leggett, All Music Guide
