This was an event that was sponsored by the Indiana University student union board major attractions committee. I was a member of the committee and was assigned to work at the Ozomotli concert. I was very inspired on how there were so many band members and each of them served an important function in the band. They struck me as a hispanic earth, wind, & fire.
