One of the best known latin party bands has to be Amigos Invisibles (Venezuela/NYC). These guys attract a party wherever they are and routinely sell out the Black Cat and 9:30 club performing in DC at least twice a year. Judging from Saturday's latest concert it's not hard to see why. The show started off with Natalia Clavier (local alternative artist) followed by Batala (an all-female percussion band playing Afro-Brazilian/samba-reggae rhythms), followed by DJ Afro (Jose Luis Pardo Amigos Invisibles' own guitarist who plays music that will definitely get you into the Amigos Invisibles "Gozadera" mood!).
Amigos Invisibles' agenda for this show was to get the party going and never stop. They introduced material from their new album "COMERCIAL". Normally when a band puts out a new album the first few performances of the album draw blank stares from the fans that aren't familiar with the new songs. This was not the case at the 9:30 club show, people didn't break a step dancing from song to song, new or old. The drinks were flowing, the dance floor was packed, and the band was dead-on. Did everyone hear their rendition of the Lambada? I thought it sounded great! From start to finish the Amigos Invisibles know how to make an ordinary Saturday night into a latin feast.
