“It’s a dance album, but it’s also a great album to chill out to on the beach.” “This album is what we live for,” says lead singer Julio Briceño. The result is Venezuelan Zinga Son - a title which the band says loosely translates as ‘ the largest fuck session in Venezuela.’ Zinga Son is the ultimate summer mix tape, the perfect soundtrack to a long day at the beach and an even longer night at the club, an uptempo dance mix that still sounds laid back, an album that honors its Latin roots but is not tied to them. In working with Masters at Work, the Amigos have taken their carnival of sexed up lyrics, wah-wah guitar riffs, and hot conga rhythms and refined it with a dancefloor sensibility, crafting an album that combines the booty shaking of disco, the deep rhythms of house, the sass of salsa, and the plush-sofa vibe of electronic lounge. ” We had admired Masters at Work since the Nuyorican album (Nuyorican Soul, Giant Step, 1997) and they had been to some shows of ours,” explains keyboard player Armando Figueredo. Now they kick off the summer of ’03 with a brand new album, Venezuelan Zinga Son, a hot slice of new Latin dance produced by house music legends Masters at Work. Los Amigos Invisibles -everyone’s favorite Venezuelan disco love-funk ensemble- have spent the last two years elevating their status as global scenesters and dance music afficianados by remixing Beastie Boys, Basement Jaxx and Fantastic Plastic Machine, and collaborating with Dimitri fron Paris.
