#Amigos invisibles pelicula update#

There you have it an introduction to Los Amigos Invisibles for some of you and an update for others. It premiered in Miami earlier this year and Catire explained it was a great success and that the band is truly happy with the project. *** This last question, in Spanish, was about the documentary “ La Casa Del Ritmo,” which is a recording of one of their concerts in New York City. El estreno en Miami fué todo un éxito y la banda quedó bastante satisfecha con el trabajo. La idea era grabar la experiencia de un concierto en NY y que los mismos miembros de la banda contaran su historia entre canción y canción. La película no es tanto un documental sino lo que podría llamarse un “concert film”. Por ello la importancia de que la película se haya realizado durante nuestro 20 aniversario y de que se haya realizado en NY. Según él, esto podria ser el sueño de cualquier músico latinoamericano. ❼ómo nació este proyecto y cómo les ha ido desde su estreno en Miami?Ĭatire: Fué la idea de un gran amigo que pensó que no muchas bandas latinoamericanas duran 20 años y menos lograr hacer una carrera desde Nueva York. HM: Y por último, (para nosotros de habla hispana) nos podrían contar un poco acerca el documental “ La Casa Del Ritmo“. The main reason we’re still in this business is because of the joy of being able to play in front of an audience that looks like it’s having a lot of fun. The family (fans) keep growing and growing. What has been the response across the globe and what do you have in store for Toronto audiences?Ĭatire: It’s been great. HM: 20 Años de Gozadera is your latest tour. That’s what happens when you’ve been 20+ years together. Don’t think we’re listening to many things in common lately and yet somehow we still manage to make an album.

What is some of the music you’re listening to that might influence Los Amigos’ sounds?Ĭatire: We’re such different guys. Also being able to watch your idols behaving like regular humans had a big impact on me. You just need to leave your apartment and walk for 15 minutes to find something that really inspires you whether this is a landscape, people, musicians, art, etc. I lived in the city for 10 years and I can say the impact was huge. We have 2 members in Miami, 2 in Caracas and one in Xalapa, Mexico. HM: You’ve been living in New York City for some time, how does the city and its music scene impact your creativity?Ĭatire: At this moment we only have one member left in NY. Also producing music is our passion, a calling, something you just got to do because without it you’re nothing.

There’re always situations waiting to be told. José Rafael Torres ( Catire ) : Life keeps inspiring us. HM: After 20 years, what is your approach to writing and producing new music? I had the great opportunity to interview Los Amigos in advance to their Toronto concert on June 25th at the Horseshoe Tavern. They’ve visited over 60 countries, have won 1 Latin Grammy, have 7 studio albums, 1 live DVD+2CD, 1 record label, have been 20 years in the music business, and still have high hopes to continue to do what they love to do. This year is no exception with the coming of Los Amigos Invisibles. This TD Toronto Jazz Festival has presented some of the biggest names in jazz from around the world.
