"It's been some three years since we heard the previous work of the band, but they are finally back, out of their "musical silence" with a more mature and evolved sound than the one they had in 'Arepa 3000'. Combining influences of Fania-based Salsa, bossa nova (Jobim) and deep house, and singing several songs in English (not surprising considering how much time they spend in NYC lately) the Amigos present their fourth work in a moment that Venezuela -their homeland- and the world at large very much need their excellent groove and good musical humor. Most likely, the album will come down in price in the upcoming weeks, as it is released everywhere, so don't rush to get it, but don't forget to put it on your Wish List so you can keep an eye on it!!"

Thank You Corporate Radio for Being So Boring...

"...because if you hadn't driven me to listen to independent internet radio I would have never discovered the brilliance of Los Amigos Invisibles, and this gem of a CD. The versatility of the tracks are amazing, ranging from house, to classic Latin grooves, to after-hours lounge music, to '70s disco, with a dash of hilarity to round it out. Venezuelan Zingason is 70+ minutes of sheer joy. Everyone who has heard me play this CD (which is now quite a few people considering it's in heavy rotation at home, my car, and my cubicle) comment on how much they enjoy it and now want it for themselves. I have the boys' other CDs on my wish list and can't wait to have them in my collection. Los Amigos Invisibles is proof that today's best music is not on cookie-cutter radio stations."

GET THIS CD NOW!!!!

"I HAVE BEEN COLLECTING ALL OF LOS AMIGOS INVISIBLES EVER SINCE I HEARD THEM IN SESSIONS AT WEST 54TH, AND I WOULD HAVE TO SAY THAT THIS IS THE BEST CD THEY HAVE MADE SO FAR. THEIR FIRST CD, A TYPICAL VENEZUELAN AUTOCTONAL BAND IS GOOD, BUT I WOULD HAVE TO SAY THAT IN AN OVERALL CONTEXT, THIS IS THE BEST CD LOS AMIGOS HAVE MADE SO FAR. IN THE OTHER CDS THEY MADE BEFORE, THESE ONLY HAVE A BUNCH OF GOOD SONGS, BUT THEN THE OTHER SONGS THAT WERE INCLUDED IN THEIR OTHER CDS PRETTY MUCH WERE MADE TO FILL THE CD, BUT IN THIS CD ZINGA SON, LOS AMIGOS MADE A MORE COMPACT CD, AS YOU WILL BE GUARANTEED TO ENJOY EVERY SONG THIS CD HAS. AH, GET THIS CD, AND DON'T GET THE OTHER ZINGA CD, (THE USA VERSION) GET THIS ONE BECAUSE IT HAS ONE NICE ENDING THAT YOU WON'T FIND IN THE OTHER ZINGA SON CD. IN MY OPINION, THIS IS THEIR BEST CD SO FAR, AND I HOPE THAT THE SECOND VOLUME TURNS EVEN BETTER!!!!!"
