about

When Los Amigos Invisibles first released “The New Sound,” it was the ultimate party album. Time has passed, but the party has kept on—and this party music, full of non-stop funked out grooves, traveling through house, funk, acid jazz, and bossa nova, to name a few musical avenues, is a journey deep into the pants of rhythm. (We won’t even mention the old sound of the Venezuelan Gozadera).

Party music hasn’t sounded this chic since Chic. “The Gozadera, more than a musical style, is a concept allowing us to use whatever music we enjoy and mix it up,” says guitarist Jose Luis Pardo. “Like boogaloo, salsa, bossa nova, funk, disco, house, techno, jungle, merengue, New Wave, cha-cha-cha, mambo, and of course Acid Jazz.” And who better to pull this off than producer Andres Levin (Aterciopelados, Chaka Khan, La Portuaria, La Secta, El Gran Silencio, David Byrne, Arto Lindsay, and many more) along with engineer Fernando Aponte (Masters at Work, Ryuichi Sakamoto, Deee-Lite, Towa Tei)?

"The New Sound" is back out for its 25th anniversary in a limited 2 LP color edition: Pot-At-The-End-Of-The-Rainbow Gold.

Los Amigos Invisibles Venezuela

Formed in 1991 as part of Caracas’ mobile party scene, Los Amigos Invisibles developed their unique sound by blending all styles of Latin music with modern beats. “We began making music influenced by acid-jazz and the dance music coming out of London,” says Jose Luis, “but our culture kept creeping into our music. All we want to do is have fun and make fun of it all at the same time.” ... more
