Ozomatli is a celebration waiting to happen — a fiery brew of jazz-funk, Latin salsa and urban hip hop. Basic tracks for the band's upcoming album, Don't Mess With the Dragon, were recorded in Ocean Way Recording's (Los Angeles) Studio B with engineer Robert Carranza and KC Porter, who wrote and co-produced with the band. Porter explains, “We tracked drums in the big room to have more space and flexibility, more options and to use different drum kits.” The album was completed at Porter's private studio, Worldbeat Recording, in the Santa Monica Mountains, and then mixed by Serban Ghenea in Virginia. The Concord Records project is slated for release next month.
