In 1995 they released their debut album, A Typical and Autoctonal Venezuelan Dance Band, which was a moderate success in Venezuela. The band was comprised of Julio Briceño a.k.a. "Chulius" (vocals, percussion, songwriting), José Luis Pardo a.k.a. "Cheo" or "DJ Afro" (guitar, songwriting), Armando Figueredo a.k.a. "Odnam" (keyboards, songwriting), Mauricio Arcas a.k.a "Maurimix" (congas, percussion, songwriting), José Rafael Torres a.k.a "Catire" (bass), and Juan Manuel Roura a.k.a. "Mamulo" (drums, percussion). They played in clubs around Caracas for the next two years and then relocated to New York in 1997. David Byrne's Luaka Bop label signed the group and released The New Sound of the Venezuelan Gozadera in 1998. Two years later came their third release, AREPA 3000: A Venezuelan Journey into Space. In 2003 they released their masterpiece, "The Venezuelan Zinga Son, Vol. 1" (Luaka Bop released the album in 2004 in the U.S.) which was nominated for the Latin Grammy in the category of best Alternative Latin Album. 2005 saw the release of their collection of obscure venezuelan covers, "Super Pop Venezuela" in their native country and released independently on 2006 in the U.S.A. through their very own record label "Gozadera Records". "Superpop Venezuela" was also nominated for the Grammy in 2007. Currently Los Amigos Invisibles are constantly touring the globe and producing their upcoming album.

In May 2008 Los Amigos Invicibles released "Una noche tan linda como esta" a live recording from their 15th celebration concert at Universidad Central de Venezuela's Aula Magna on Feb 14, 2006. The set consists of two CD and a DVD of this concert.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ojalá que pongas la mejilla en la escalera de tu casa y ruedes como bola
Ojalá te sientes en tu baño, bajes la cadena y vayas a parar al guaire
Quiero que tu carro se lo roben y lo pongan en bajada sin el freno e' mano
Ojalá te quedes calva, ojalá te salgan canas, ojalá te salgan más verrugas
En todas las partes de tu cara

Quiero que te asalten y te dejen toda limpia, en pelucas o en las 20 uñas
Ojalá te tragues las pastillas de chiquitolina y quedes a lo chilindrina

Ojalá tu novia la encarcelen, la deporten, la embaracen y vaya pa' la luna

Ojalá te quedes calva, ojalá te salgan canas, ojalá te salgan más verrugas
En todas las partes de tu cara

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Los Amigos Invisibles's song "La Balada De Chusy" are a series of wishes for misfortune and harm towards an unknown person. The song starts with the singer wishing for the person to put their cheek on a staircase and roll down like a ball. Following this, the singer wishes for the person to sit on their toilet, flush it, and end up in the sewer. These opening lines set the dark and malicious tone of the song.

The second verse takes a more violent turn, with the singer wishing for the person's car to be stolen and taken on a dangerous ride without the handbrake. The singer also wishes for the person's physical appearance to deteriorate, with hopes that they become bald, grey-haired, and covered in more warts all over their face. Continuing with the song's vengeful nature, the singer wishes for the person to be robbed, stripped down to their wigs or nails, and force-fed the fictional character's Chickitolina's pills, causing them to have a reaction like Chilindrina. Finally, the singer wishes for the person's girlfriend to be imprisoned, deported, impregnated, and sent to the moon.

Overall, "La Balada De Chusy" is a vindictive and spiteful song, with lyrics that seem to come from a place of anger or grudge. It is unclear who the singer is addressing or who Chusy is, but the song's energy and music make it feel like a release of pent-up frustration.
