Binding: Audio CDEAN: 0680899005425 Format: Enhanced, Explicit Lyrics Label: Luaka Bop Manufacturer: Luaka Bop MPN: 90054 Number Of Discs: 1 Publisher: Luaka Bop Release Date: May 04, 2004 Studio: Luaka Bop Editorial Review: Amazon.com: 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 there's nothing left to give. Los Amigos' best effort yet, Zinga is all-purpose fun. --Tad Hendrickson Average Rating:
 Rating: - As much fun and "sabor" as day 1Combining 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.

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. Rating: - ExcelenteIn 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. Rating: - Best Latin band todayLos 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." ...

Live show was split up into smooth first half and funky second half. I was so impressed I had to go and buy a CD. This album stays true to the live performance, containing smooth and suave songs as well as funky latin grooves. It's been in my car stereo for 3 weeks! |
