    <title>Solar Powered Concert Series: Ozomatli w/ Peligrosa All Stars- FREE SHOW</title>
    <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;FREE SHOW!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Fans of polyrhythmic, polyglot party band Ozomatli take their heroes very seriously. That&amp;rsquo;s as it should be: For 14 years, no one has mixed progressive politics, Latin jazz, hip-hop, funk, and rock en Espa&amp;ntilde;ol (and English) quite like Ozomatli. &lt;a href=&quot;http://austin.decider.com/events/solar-powered-concert-series-ozomatli,91605/&quot;&gt;more at austin.decider.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Solar Powered Concerts are created to take advantage of Austin spring weather in beautiful outdoor setting and benefit Blue Dog Rescue. Blue Dog Rescue is an Austin area foster organization dedicated to rescuing dogs from our local shelters and adopting them into new homes. Blue Dog Rescue and their four legged friends will be on site for each show. For more information please see &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.bluedogrescue.com/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;www.bluedogrescue.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; All music production is solar powered which means artists and audience will experience &amp;ldquo;pollution free&amp;rdquo; music. In other word &amp;ndash; no stage hum. Solar powered production is not only the better for the environment but also provides a sonically clean sound. Come out and hear for yourself.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; The beautiful and historic Republic Park in downtown Austin provides a perfect setting. Located at 422 Guadalupe (between 4th &amp;amp; 5th Streets, just west of Antone&amp;rsquo;s) in the heart of Austin&amp;rsquo;s vibrant downtown, the park provides an intimate outdoor setting in which to see some of the best local, regional and national talent.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; Bicycle &amp;ldquo;Valet Parking&amp;rdquo; is provided by Mellow Johnny&amp;rsquo;s bike shop.

  <comment>AA-S Best Bet - Ozomatli, Peligrosa All Star DJ Collective:
The Free Solar Powered Concert Series at Republic Square Park (422 Guadalupe St.) is fast becoming a totally Austin event.
Tonight's headliners are Ozomatli, who are just back from playing four free shows in Vietnam on a humanitarian tour. &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.austin360.com/calendar/events2/etc/userEventDisplay.jspd?eventStatus=Approved&amp;eventid=248086&quot;&gt;more at www.austin360.com&lt;/a&gt;</comment>
