Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Los Amigos Invisibles pioneered 'gozadera'—Venezuelan slang for pure unapologetic party energy—exporting it before the country's crisis made such joy politically complicated.
The Highline Ballroom show was nearly cancelled when bassist José Rafael Torres got detained at JFK for visa confusion—classic immigrant artist nightmare, miraculously resolved hours before doors.
