Big Bad Voodoo Daddy and Ozomatli

Please join us this August for a FREE outdoor block party celebrating the Lobero Theatre Building’s exciting Centennial! The event will feature performances by Big Bad Voodoo Daddy and Ozomatli on the esplanade for the Santa Barbara community to enjoy.

Big Bad Voodoo Daddy’s signature sound blends a vibrant fusion of the classic American sounds of jazz, swing, and Dixieland, with the energy and spirit of contemporary culture. Their original horn-infused music and legendary high energy show introduces the genre to a new generation, while remaining respectful of the music’s rich legacy. After 30 years, 11 records, over 3000 live shows, and countless appearances in film/tv, the band is showing no signs of slowing down.

Since forming in 1995, Ozomatli’s collaborative, energetic blend of multi-cultural music and activism has earned the band three GRAMMYs®, four Hollywood Bowl shows, a TED Talk and listeners worldwide. Renowned for their invigorating live shows, they play a unique blend of salsa, hip-hop, reggae, rock, merengue and funk. Ozo’s new songs, stronger-than-ever brotherhood, and the potent emotional impetus behind their latest album, Marching On, further cements the legacy begun with the band’s 1998 self-titled debut.
