Sunday/domingo: LOS AMIGOS INVISIBLES CONCERT & AFTERPARTY!
Venezuelan jam band Los Amigos Invisibles return to World Cafe Live to throw down their trademark latin-funk-samba-disco-house-bossa-grooviness! Dancefloor madness will ensue, guaranteed. Praised for years by the infamous “Little” Louie Vega, the guys are back with a new album, “Commercial”, available now on Nacional Records. These guys are notorious for their on-stage antics & musical virtuosity. After the show, everyone heads upstairs to the Official Afterparty with DJ Rahsaan (Afrotaino Soundsystem) & DJ AFRO (Los Amigos Invisibles bandmember & resident DJ).
Que Que??! You heard right. Expect to hear new music from Latin Alternative acts like Zizek & Bomba Estereo (Nacional in the house!)
Doors open 8PM, $15 – Afterparty FREE with ticket stub!
@World Cafe Live, 3025 Walnut St., Philadelphia
