| The Venezuelan Zinga Son, Vol. 1 |
|
Product Details
Although four years passed since their previous album, these Latin playboys are always up for a party, and The Venezuelan Zinga Son Vol. 1 is no different. Produced by New York house music producers Masters At Work, the band's third domestic album is filled with upbeat salsa ("Esto Es Lo Que Hay" is a riot), soft Brazilian grooves, spacey funk, disco, rock and lounge. They roll it all together into street party of good vibes, sexy beats and lecherous thoughts (see track 14), but what keeps the Brooklyn-based sextet out of gutter is that it's hard to find fault when the insidious jams cause you to stop thinking and start dancing. Interestingly, the album seems to ride the arc or raging party: it starts on a promising but mellow tip, then loosens up in the middle part, then rides it out until theres nothing left to give. Los Amigos' best effort yet, Zinga is all-purpose fun. --Tad Hendrickson

(5 stars) - As much fun and "sabor" as day 1
Combining influences of Fania-based Salsa, bossa nova (Jobim) and deep house, and singing several songs in English (not surprising considering how much time they spend in NYC), with "The Venezuelan Zinga Son, Vol. 1" the Amigos presented their fourth work in a moment that Venezuela -their homeland- and the world at large very much need their excellent groove and good musical humor.
Still, four years after its original release, the album retains all its flavor and fun, much like all their other works, kicking aside language barriers. With Los Amigos Invisibles, you CAN'T go wrong: from their first work, A Typical Autoctonal Venezuelan Dance Band to their 2006 release, Superpop Venezuela, they've managed to combine music and fun in a way few other bands anywhere else can.
(5 stars) - PURE VENEZUELAN GOZADERA
INDEED ONE OF THEIR BEST ALBUMS FOLLOWED BY THEIR FIRST ONE "THE NEW SOUNDS OF VENEZUELAN GOZADERA". tHEY MAKE YOU DANCE, THEY MAKE YOU HAPPY, THEY MAKE MY DAY EVERYTIME I SPIN THEIR MUSIC. IF YOU GET A CHANCE OF SEEING THEM LIVE...DON'T THINK TWICE, THEY ARE "AWESOME" YOU WON'T STOP DANCING FROM THE VERY FIRST BEAT!! LOS AMIGOS INVISIBLES ARE MY "AMIGOS" AS WELL.
(5 stars) - Excelente
In this new work, Los amigos Invisibles, not only show his particular sound of Acid Latin Jazz, but they expose his maturity and versatility in each of the songs. This venezuelan group is raised as the only flag of his country in foreign territory, for the only one does not say. His topics reflects the good sound of the Funk, Acid Jazz and the soft notes of the Bossa in the topic "Playa Azul ". Indisputably, a great work.
(5 stars) - Best Latin band today
Los Amigos are, simply put, the hottest -- and best -- Latin act in music today. Their incorporation of traditional latin rhythms with jazz, funk and rock meld into a sound uniquely their own. Venezuelan Zingason continues the tradition of The New Sound of the Venezuelan Gozadera, Arepa 3000 and their limited release self-titled LP (which can be obtained via the LAI website). "Ease Your Mind" (in English, weirdly enough) may be the best track here, followed by its Spanish phonetic equivalent "Isyormain." And, of course, throughout the disc LAI never lose their humor or clever deviousness.
Also, if you EVER get a chance to catch Los Amigos live in concert, I guarantee you one of the BEST times of your life! They are simply SPECTACULAR!
