Los Amigos Invisibles play the Orange Peel tonight

Posted on by Alli Marshall

Self-described “Venezuelan funky-dance band” Los Amigos Invisibles has been performing for the past 20 years. Tonight they play The Orange Peel with Trombone Shorty & Orleans Avenue. The show starts at 9 p.m., tickets are $20 at the door.

According to the band’s bio, “For Los Amigos Invisibles, it has been over 60 countries visited, 1 Latin Grammy + 2 Latin Grammy nominations, 2 Grammy (NARAS) nominations, 6 studio albums, 1 live DVD+2CD, 1 record label, 19 years in the music business, and with high hopes to continue to do what they love to do.”

Here’s something you may not know: Los Amigos Invisibles’ lead guitarist and primary songwriter DJ Afro has a new album coming out and the tune “Asheville” is inspired by, well, Asheville. Download it here:
