Ozomatli's second album, "Embrace the Chaos", was released on a date historic for the U.S., September 11, 2001. Although many American bands cancelled their concerts, Ozomatli gained some recognition for continuing to play their concerts, all the while continuing their commitment to social justice and progressive politics, in addition to the rising anti-war movement. The album featured a similar mix of Latin and hip-hop music as the debut had, with the lyrics taking an even more political stance. In 2002, "Embrace the Chaos" won a Grammy for the Best Latin Rock/Alternative Album.
