notes

A performance-oriented Latin dance band from Venezuela heavily indebted to funk and disco (with a dash of acid jazz), Los Amigos Invisibles made a big splash in their homeland in 1995 with their debut album, A Typical and Autoctonal Venezuelan Dance Band, which featured odd Japanese animé-style artwork. Band members Julio Briceño (vocals), José Luis Pardo (guitar, songwriting), Armando Figueredo (keyboards), Mauricio Arcas (raps), José Rafael Torres (bass), and Juan Manuel Roura (drums) supported their growing reputation with a series of underground dance parties at the mostly deserted clubs of Caracas. However, financial difficulties led the group to move to New York in 1997. They signed with David Byrne's Luaka Bop imprint and released their American debut, The New Sound of the Venezuelan Gozadera, in 1998. Arepa 3000: A Venezuelan Journey into Space was release two years later.

  • Non-Stop Party...

    ...no time to rest (with only a very few exceptions). After 68 minutes you leave the dancefloor full of sweat and on your knees. Very funky and energetic stuff with its roots in the golden 70's. The band obviously had lots of fun in recording this album.

  • Very good!

    The cd is pretty good....track 2 and 10 are amazing. I was always very curious about this cd as their 2nd, 3rd, and 4th albums were amazing. The sound is very raw and its basically a band that is having fun w/the the elements of Rock, Pop, Funk, and Jazz. Overall...a very good buy.

  • good stuff
