LOS AMIGOS INVISIBLES are a performance-oriented Latin dance band from Venezuela, heavily indebted to funk and disco (with a dash of acid jazz). In 2004 they released the Latin Grammy-nominated album, The Venezuelan Zinga Son Vol. 1, which was rated among the top 10 releases of 2004 by the Los Angeles Times.
With their latest release, SuperPop Venezuela, Los Amigos Invisibles set out to pay homage to the Venezuelan artists and songs that most influenced the pioneering Latin Dance and Alternative group. Having already won a wealth of praise as “the richest thing to come from Caracas since oil” (New York Daily News), SuperPop Venezuela received a Grammy nomination for Best Latin Rock, Alternative, or Urban Album. This marks the second Grammy nomination for the transplanted Venezuelan New Yorkers.
Here’s what people are saying about Los Amigos Invisibles:
“Los Amigos Invisibles emanate pure groove… walking bass lines, percolating percussion, scratchy guitar and relentless drums of a band that knows no difference between arty fun and sensual fire” – Rolling Stone
“Disco-funk jams accented by Latin dance & house… playfulness just oozes from “Los Amigos Invisibles”” – AMG
