OMEYOCAN (oh-may-oh-kahn): The thunder of Afro-Cuban drums pound in your chest:; soaring Flamenco guitar riffs fly like a Sirocco wind through you; and above it all you hear a voice--that voice, clean and clear, like glass, cutting like a razor across the dense aural landscape. The rhythm envelops and lifts you up, taking you away. You're suddenly on a Sorcerer's journey of magical transformation, to a mysterious land where the ancient Aztec god Ometeotl dwells, the land called: OMEYOCAN. That is what hearing the music of OMEYOCAN for the first time is like--it is entering a new land: a place of rhythm, song, and spiritual celebration. Mixtures of Afro-Cuban, Latin, Gypsy, African, and many other world-ethnic styles are fused with Jazz and heavy Rock, forming a sound they call "Urban-Indigenous." And yet, hearing OMEYOCAN's music is only part of the experience. OMEYOCAN cannot be fully appreciated without seeing them live, for this is a live performance act. An OMEYOCAN show is much more than going to see a rock-band--it is an excursion into a place where music, modern art, social vision, passion, and spiritual awakening unite. The energy emanating from the stage grabs hold of you, surrounds you. The power of their performance is captivating, excitingly new, and hauntingly familiar. OMEYOCAN is a new experience, and that new experience awaits you-- ready to take you where you'll hear with new ears; see with new eyes, and feel with a renewed spirit. OMEYOCAN. Take the journey.
