Los Amigos Invisibles "A Typical and Autoctonal Venezuelan Dance Band" Album Review

You only need to have ears in order to enjoy their work
There simply is no way to go wrong with Los Amigos Invisibles! This Venezuelan funky acid jazz ensemble delivers some of the most groovy and fun music you can run into these days. Granted it's in Spanish, you only need to have ears in order to enjoy their work.

With "A Typical & Autoctonal Venezuelan Dance Band", their debut album, they deliver 20 songs loaded with beats that remind of a blend between Santana and Steely Dan. Highlights of the album are: the opening track ("Dame Tu Color"), "Dime", "Nada que decir", "Vuelo Hasta Tus Pies" (along with "Guffi's Mix", which it blends with seamlessly) and the impossible-to-ignore "Boogaloo Pa' Los Panas" (which throws the album into a Salsa loop that is closer to Fania All Stars than anything else).

All through the album you can find bits and pieces that serve as a starting point for some of the Amigos' best known recordings, which would be found in following works after they were discovered by David Byrne who signed them to this label, Luaka Bop.

Rick James "Gold" Album Review

inaccurate AMG review
This is not actually a repackaging of Anthology, as it contains 6 fewer tracks. At around 100 minutes, it's skimpy for a 2CD set, but the price is right.
