Description Founded by Moshe Vilozny in 2002, Universal Language is a musical melting pot fusing Latin and world grooves to create infectious high energy dance music. With strong roots in California, Mexico, Israel & Italy, UL has united realizing a pancultural vision of unity through music. Their driving dance oriented grooves have been compared to Latin fusion bands such as Ozomatli, yet they bring a style and sound that is all their own. Positive lyrics in English, Spanish & Hebrew, blistering Latin percussion, Cuban tres, double bass, Andean Charango and Spanish guitar are some of the ingredients used to create a rich cultural landscape that gives the music an energy that always leaves the crowd inspired.
