Love, Love, Love, Love, Love Los Amigos Invisibles.
My best friend Claudia introduced them to me about a year or so ago and I've been hooked, even though I don't speak Spanish.
They had a concert in NYC this past weekend, but I had something else so I couldn't go, but I'm seeing them in August I think.
They are amazing. I've seen them live 4 times I think in the past year. DJ Afro (guitarist9 and I have become buds, as I see him out sometimes at other concerts in NYC. Wonderful guy.
Their energy live is amazing and they have great chemistry. Some of my favorite songs are Curda Y Pan, Dun Dun No Es Facil Amar, All Day Today (all 3 from new album), also from other albums Ponerte En Cuatro (amazing live), Sexy, Mi Linda, Caliente and Ease Your Mind, which is so funky...
In addition to that, they have the dopest artwork for their covers. Very creative and they keep up their Venezualan pride wherever they go. People here love them and every concert has been packed.
So yeah, I love Los Amigos...I'm sure there is a topic on here somewhere about them, but since this one was here... 
Happy you dig them!

In 1995 they released their debut album, A Typical and Autoctonal Venezuelan Dance Band, which was a huge success in Venezuela. The band is comprised of Julio Briceño (a.k.a. "Chulius", vocals, percussion), José Luis Pardo (a.k.a. "Cheo" or "DJ Afro", guitar, songwriting), Armando Figueredo (a.k.a. "Odnam", keyboards), Mauricio Arcas (a.k.a "Maurimix", congas, percussion), José Rafael Torres (a.k.a "Catire", bass), and Juan Manuel Roura (a.k.a. "Mamulo", drums, percussion).
They played in clubs around Caracas for the next two years and then relocated to New York in 1997. David Byrne's Luaka Bop label signed the group and released The New Sound of the Venezuelan Gozadera in 1998. Two years later came their third release, Arepa 3000: A Venezuelan Journey into Space. In 2003 they released their masterpiece, The Venezuelan Zinga Son, Vol. 1 (Luaka Bop released the album in 2004 in the U.S.) which was nominated for the Latin Grammy in the category of best Alternative Latin Album.
2005 saw the release of their collection of Venezuelan covers, Super Pop Venezuela in their native country only. The album was released in August 2006 in the U.S. by Gozadera records. |
