Los Amigos Invisibles
Artist Overview
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, which featured odd Japanese anim�-style artwork. Bandmembers Julio Brice�o (vocals), Jos� Luis Pardo (guitar, songwriting), Armando Figueredo (keyboards), Mauricio Arcas (raps), Jos� 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 in 1998. They have enjoyed a hearty international tour schedule ever since.
