Colombia's Aterciopelados, one of Latin America's most innovative bands, have a new release titled OYE set for release in the fall, after five years:
Now Aterciopelados — appearing at the Hollywood Bowl during Saturday's Musica Con Sabor festival, with Bebe, Reyli and Mexican Institute of Sound — is wrapping up its forthcoming album, which Buitrago says is tentatively titled "Oye!" Due this fall on Nacional Records, the album signals a return to the band's raucous beginnings.
"It's more of a rock record," Buitrago says, likening it to "Pipa de la Paz," the Grammy-nominated 1997 album in which loud guitars and live drums amplify a groovy mix of Latin American folk music, electronica and alternative rock.

Los Amigos Invisibles the disco/boogie Venezuelan lunatics according to their web site, are also releasing a new album SUPERPOP VENEZUELA which should be in stores on September 5th, They are currently touring, including a gig at the very cool Green Dolphin in Chicago on the 27th of this month, and gigs in L.A., Boston, New York:
Superpop Venezuela, our new album, will be available in US stores starting September 5th., 2006. This fifth full length CD was produced by Dimitri from Paris, a world renowned producer from the dance music scene, and will be the band’s first album released by its new record label, GOZADERA RECORDS.
"Superpop Venezuela is our tribute to having been raised in a South American country, and to the happiness we feel differentiating ourselves from the rest of the planet for having roots in a culture as rich as the Latin one," says José Luis Pardo, guitarist of the ensemble.
The album displays the variety of rhythms always characteristic of Los Amigos Invisibles productions. It combines the contagious House of "Yo no sé" and "Media Luna" with afro-beats from the hymn "All day today," bossanova in "Rosario," salsa in "Amar es algo más" and much more. Los Amigos Invisibles’ important new album is more flavorful than a tasty dessert after a great dinner.
