Editorial Reviews

Since their 1995 debut, this multiple Grammy-nominated group has developed a sound based in the gozadera, an irresistible fusion of Latin rhythms with fiery funk and lounge music. After discovering one of their albums in a record shop, David Byrne signed the band to his label Luaka Bop, which in turned opened international doors for the group, helped them expand their sound, and helped establish them in the dance music scene. On this album, they enlisted a variety of special guests from Jorge Gonzalez (of Chilean rock legends Los Prisioneros) to Mexican songstress Natalia Lafourcade. Their most accessible work yet.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not their greatest album, but not bad. June 15, 2009

By J. Mora

I almost feel as if they winged it on this one. Though this CD is still good, it's just not their best work to date. I will admit that topping their previous work is challenging, but creativity was lacking here. I feel that they "recycled" a lot from their previous recordings.

But check it out and let me know if you agree or disagree with me. I still love LAI, and will see them in concert come August here in Southern California, but I only wish they would've given it their all.

5.0 out of 5 stars Los Amigos invisibles deliver again January 15, 2013

I have been a fan of LAI for about 14 years. With each delivery, like most evolving artists, the band brings something different to the table. I was caught a bit surprised by the amount of romanticism in the lyrics. The music, like usual, sounds fresh, funky, happy and uplifting. Oh course, I am biased because I consider Los Amigos Invisibles music the best antidepressant anybody can find. I can attest to that, since I am a veteran of over two dozen concerts/parties over the years. I also have to add that getting this whole MP3 album for five dollars is one of the best deals I have ever done.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fun & Funky sound (Even for non-Spanish speakers) November 18, 2012

By Andrea B

Let me preface by saying I don't speak or understand a lick of Spanish. I know my colors, the few words Ricky Martin has used in his English songs, and I can probably count if I think hard enough. But I've been to several Central American countries and enjoy the Latin culture - and saw Los Amigos Invisibles at a Latin Festival. They performed in Spanish, with 1 English song. Surprisingly, the English song isn't the best song - kinda like a George Michael song from the 80's. But the rest of the songs, starting with "Mentiras" and through "Plastic Woman", there's a 70's disco - funky 80's - modern 2000's fusion that will bring a smile to your face. Catchy, upbeat tunes (I don't know what they're saying, but it sounds happy), and you'll be playing this CD way more than you ever anticipated.
