Los Amigos Invisibles
Sun, Sep 17, 5:30 PM Washington Mutual Stage Stage
Dubbed the perfect to soundtrack to postmodern caf� society by Londons The Independent, Los Amigos Invisibles are the undisputed kings of funky Latin disco. The Venezuelan sextet first came together in 1991 and spent years conquering the Caracas club scene, until former Talking Heads frontman David Byrne got a hold of their 1995 debut album, A Typical and Autoctonal Venezuelan Dance Band, and promptly signed them to his eclectic Luaka Bop label. Three funktastic albums (including the Grammy nominated Arepa 3000: A Venezuelan Journey Into Space) and 10 whirlwind years later, Los Amigos Invisibles are now based in New York and famed throughout the dance world across the globe. Rolling Stone hailed Los Amigos Invisibles latest album, Venezuelan Zinga Son Vol. 1, as a long, deliciously paced make-out session of a disc. In other words, theyll get your groove on.
