JULY 22-30: OZOMATLI TOUR MIDDLE EAST
Jun 26, 2007 5:37 PM
Ozomatli's mission has long been to spread a global message of peace and understanding through diversity in music. Often described as "the people's music," Ozomatli recently extended that message to the people of Nepal and India, representing the U.S. as Cultural Ambassadors on a grant from the U.S. State Department.
Through this wildly successful trip, Ozomatli became the first western artist to perform in Nepal in recent memory, and their shows were acknowledged as the first peaceful nonpolitical mass gathering ever organized in modern Kathmandu.
The India-Nepal trip was so effective that it prompted the Councilor for Press and Cultural Affairs at the U.S. Embassy in Jordan to extend an invitation to Ozomatli for similar program in four Middle Eastern countries: Jordan, Egypt, Lebanon and Tunisia.
