{Los Amigos Invisibles}
Also...somehow Los Amigos Invisibles latest slipped through my radar. Initially realeased in their native country in 2005, the album titled Super Pop Venezuela is a collection of obscure Venezuelan covers songs. The album was released stateside in August 2006 by Luaka Bop/Gozadera records. Super Pop Venezuela (the 5th album) finds influence in funk, Venezuelan pop, and alternative music from 60s 70s and 80s, all with a little the help from DJ/producer Dimitri from Paris. Have a listen...
