The boys from Caracas have released their newest production, Commercial, through Nacional Records…

The Amigos’ vision of creating dance music is once again visited in this album, as contagious latin grooves are fused with a sort of acid jazz/dance elements…

Its a dance party waiting to happen a la LAI….

I’ve always been a great fan of having my favorite artists collaborate, and Commercial features a few talented vocalists/musicians  like Jorge Gonzalez from Los Prisioneros, and the gifted Natalia Lafourcade adding their own flare to the album.

Check out these tracks por favor: “Mentiras”, and “Oyeme Nena”….

Is it another great reinvention of latin funk/dance or is it ‘mas de lo mismo’??

This is an interesting topic. Do you like to hear your favorite band evolve and use new sounds?

And if so, how much?

Or would you rather have artists stay within the lines of their style or musical genre and continue to give a sort of reinvention of their old material???

What does ‘Mas de lo mismo’ mean?? Well, if you Literally translate it it means “More of the same #$%@”. I would use MANA as an example since many accused them of doing it in their last albums.

What do you think?? let us know by leaving a comment :) …

The Latin Alternative Music Conference soon approaches, and so we’ll be having lots of coverage on artists who will be performing at the event! Interesting enough, since we started our site, we have already featured a few of the headlining acts: Los Fabulosos Cadillacs, and Los Amigos Invisibles.  We’re excited to find out that some of our favorites are going to be at the conference, hopefully you all can make it as well!  We’ll also be providing coverage on the  press and companies that are sponsoring the particular events. We want to give you  some background information on the magazines, media groups, companies/business that are all collaborating with the scene! As for now, enjoy of the complete schedule, its a lot of information to digest, so read it over a few times so you won’t miss out on anything!! We’ll be providing some pre-coverage of the shows we feel are going to be worth while and also doing the same for the panels that are going to be a part of the LAMC.  By the way, an inside source, a friend of Gurus has just confirmed to me that Natalia LaFourcade is going to be performing at S.O.B’s in New York on July 9th.

hasta la próxima,

It was hands down one of the most entertaining shows I’ve ever been to; a non-stop dance party that progressively got better and better. Midway into the show I couldn’t believe I was there, I kept thinking “Are you serious?, are these guys actually doing this…here….in LA? wow!” They played songs with so much groove that I didn’t  understand how such a great band wasn’t blowing up the radio waves. Then I figured it out. The  world wasn’t ready for it. The ‘real world’ just couldn’t handle such a phat groove, sexy guitar licks, and solid latin percussion. In terms of hott latin bands, Los Amigos are a must see! Even if you don’t know their songs, or speak spanish, you’ll have a blast, guaranteed!              www.amigosinvisibles.com
