We have tix to your choice of two, count ’em TWO, nights this weekend when local heroes Ozomatli take the stage at Club Nokia (show info here).
I’ve seen these guys play in scads of formats: as a secret surprise guest on a benefit bill for a pirate radio station, on the veranda of a swanky 27th-floor penthouse overlooking the Staples Center, and from the floor of a couple local venues, but that variety can’t beat with a stick the diversity of places Ozomatli has been over the last year: they traveled extensively through Africa, Nepal and the Middle East as official cultural ambassadors of the United States. Neat!
Every freakin’ show they play is dynamite. You will dance your ass off. To win tickets to go, tell me which night you’re available (they play both Fri & Sat) and place a link in the comments to your favorite dance on youtube. It can be classic Argentinean tango, “The Evolution Of Dance,” 70s Jazzercise or something even more desperate and horrifying*. But just let go & DANCE! Oh, and please use an email I can actually reach you at, and that you actually check.
*Excerpts from Dancing With The Stars will result in immediate disqualification
I’m available Saturday and so is my friend Dee who REALLY wants to go (she’s in town from NYC). And, here’s my favorite dance video on Youtube (it’s not a specific “dance” but it’s still fantastic!)
