Bearing an identifiably deep baritone voice, Chali 2na became the unofficial point man for West Coast underground favorite Jurassic 5. As Jurassic 5 was initially taking off, Chali 2na helped found the band Ozomatli--a fusion of worldbeat, rock, hip-hop, and Latin dance/funk. As part of two critically acclaimed ensembles, Chali 2na firmly established himself in the music world with each group's debut.
