Los Amigos Invisibles by the numbers would go something like this:
- One Latin Grammy plus two Latin Grammy nominations.
- Three Grammy (NARAS) nominations.
- Seven studio albums.
- Twenty years in the music business.
- Countless happy sweaty dancers in 60 or so countries.
So what does Venezuela’s finest funky, disco-meets-Latin band listen to when they’re touring those 60 or so countries? We had to ask. And Los Amigos Invisibles was happy to oblige.
Check out their playlist, but first, get in the mood with a video from the band that David Byrne fell in love with after discovering one of their LPs in a record store (subsequently signing them to his label, Luaka Bop).
