Celebrated Los Angeles culture-mashers Ozomatli are back with a new album and a new label, Fire Away, out now on Mercer Street Records / Downtown Records.
Fire Away includes one of the more controversial songs Ozomatli has ever penned in the bands 15 year history, Gay Vatos In Love. The inspirations for the song include the protests revolving around Prop 8 in California, and the murder of a transgender teen, Angie Zapata, who was beaten to death in Greeley, Colorado in July of 2008.
Some may raise eyebrows that a group with no gay members would address same sex unions, but the subject matter doesnt seem so contentious in the hands of a band with a longstanding mission of peace and tolerance. The Los Angeles Times recently noted ...the iconic fusion band whose sound is seen as representative of multicultural Los Angeles is arguably taking one of its most politically daring steps this year. The track that celebrates same-sex relationships -- and also deals with gay violence and denial...
GAY VATOS IN LOVE LYRICS
Gaby and Mando walking through the park
Looking for love in protection of the dark
Club Cobra, a temple in the night,
The more I hear of Morrissey, the more I feel alright
(Chorus) Gay Vatos in Love
Javi and Kique with their girlfriends in the car
Fronting on Crenshaw knowing who they are
Juan Gabriel says, amor es amor
But Angie Zapata is lying on the dance floor
(Chorus) Gay Vatos in Love
If the world cant understand
Stand by your man!
Ozomatlis Gay Vatos In Love video was shot and edited by Nick Reiber, and the still images of LGBT couples in were graciously supplied by HONOR Fund, a Los Angeles based non-profit organization dedicated to advancing the rights and freedoms of the Latino LGBT community through leadership development, advocacy, and public education.
