Los Amigos Invisibles
September 21, 2012
The New Parish
Politicians expropriating songs without permission isn't just something that American bands have to deal with. Just ask Los Amigos Invisibles, who accused Hugo Chavez of borrowing a song of theirs to criticize a political rival. Blending funk, disco, jazz and soul, Los Amigos Invisibles defy musical labels. All you need to know is this Venezuelan band is bringing the party to the Bay Area this weekend. Los Amigos Invisibles play the New Parish in Oakland this Friday, and they're on the main stage at the cycling circus "Tour de Fat" tomorrow afternoon in Golden Gate Park.
