About

Los Amigos Invisibles are a Latin dance band from Venezuela that plays a blend of disco, acid jazz and funk mixed with latin rhythms.

In 1995 they released their debut album, A Typical and Autoctonal Venezuelan Dance Band, which was a huge success in Venezuela.

The band is comprised of Julio Briceño (a.k.a. "Chulius", vocals, percussion), José Luis Pardo (a.k.a. "Cheo" or "DJ Afro", guitar, songwriting), Armando Figueredo (a.k.a. "Odnam", keyboards), Mauricio Arcas (a.k.a "Maurimix", congas, percussion), José Rafael Torres (a.k.a "Catire", bass), and Juan Manuel Roura (a.k.a. "Mamulo", drums, percussion).

They played in clubs around Caracas for the next two years until David Byrne's Luaka Bop label signed the group and released The New Sound of the Venezuelan Gozadera in 1998. Two years later came their third release, Arepa 3000: A Venezuelan Journey into Space.

In 2000 they relocated to New York City and in 2003 they released their masterpiece, The Venezuelan Zinga Son, Vol. 1 (Luaka Bop released the album in 2004 in the U.S.) which was nominated for the Latin Grammy in the category of best Alternative Latin Album.

2005 saw the release of their collection of Venezuelan covers, Super Pop Venezuela in their native country only. The album was released in August 2006 in the U.S. by Gozadera records.
