Known for their socially conscious lyrics, Los Angeles’ grammy-award winners Ozomatli has been bringing awareness on the immigration’s plight for over a decade. Forming near the U.S.-Mexico border, the band can easily inspire anyone to bailar guaguancó to their sweet vibrant Latin-fusion tracks, while shedding light on the undocumented immigrant’s struggle, as they do in their latest music video, “Jardinero.” The tune is part of the soundtrack for A Better Life directed by Chris Weitz (The Twilight Saga, American Pie, About a boy), and premiers June 24th, 2011.
The “Jardinero” music vid highlights the the relationship between an undocumented gardener and his son who struggles to keep his boy away from gangs. Reality check. Also, check out the vid below:
