In their eighteen years together as a band, celebrated Los Angeles culture-mashers Ozomatli have gone from hometown heroes to being named U.S. State Department Cultural Ambassadors. Their music - a notorious urban-Latino-and-beyond collision of hip hop and salsa, dancehall and cumbia, samba and funk, merengue and comparsa, East LAR&B and New Orleans second line, Jamaican ragga and Indian raga - has long followed a key mantra: it will take you around the world by taking you around L.A. Sabor is composed of five seasoned musicians with combined music experience of more than 30 years. Their goal is to provide New Mexico and the surrounding areas with quality entertainment while maintaining the utmost professionalism. Sabor specialize in all special events including, weddings, anniversaries, and corporate parties. Their unique sound and vast array of music selection -- which includes Latin, pop, classic rock, oldies, and country -- make them the perfect variety band for any occasion.

"Clovis’ musical ties date back to the days of rock & roll. The “Clovis Sound,” made popular by such greats as Buddy Holly and Roy Orbison, was created and recorded in Clovis at the Norman Petty 7th Street Studio. Clovis native Norman Petty is known throughout the world as a recording pioneer and genius whose reputation has given Clovis and New Mexico an international stature. Petty co-wrote songs with, produced, recorded and managed the career of Buddy Holly."

Visitors can stroll through the park and have fun experiencing an old west atmosphere. They can explore a replica of the western town of Venus (original name of Edgewood), and see blacksmith demonstrations, antique cars and trucks, old iron tractors and machinery, and historic ranch equipment.
