Since forming in 1995, the lineup’s collaborative, energetic blend of multi-cultural music and activism has earned the band three GRAMMYs®, four Hollywood Bowl shows, a TED Talk and much more. But more importantly, Ozo has inspired and energized listeners worldwide. 2023 brings an exciting new chapter for Ozomatli, as they embark on something they've never done before: a children's book! Titled "Moose on the Loose," the book is based on the Ozomatli presents Ozokids hit single of the same name. The song "Moose on the Loose" is one of Ozomatli's most streamed songs and a favorite at live OzoKidz performances.
