February 10, 2010 | 03:03 PM These are the guys to take a euro-trip with. They radiate cool, un-calculated charisma, a vivid spirit-stoking fire and love in the blood of their audiences. The members of Ozomatli are the kind of people who act like their own sun, effortlessly pulling others toward them with their gravitational force. Jiro started out playing the tablas at a southern Indian vegetarian niche, Justin played in
Disney's Lion King Parade, Uli might be the mysterious man with trench coat and clarinet who you quietly scooted around on an LA side street, and Wil-dog used to play with Macy Gray. These disparate guys bonded together to start up the band for a labor protest movement. The band members are proud of their eclectic lives; for proof just read up on their adventures at ozomatli.com. Their music, meanwhile, is a strange yet endearing mix of hip-hop, funk and salsa that deserves its own genre. If this concert is anything like their last one, it's sure to be spilling out over the top with dancing fun-seekers, so watch out for flailing arms from the lady spinning in circles in her floor-length white dress. 242-SHOW or www.mauiarts.org
