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.

Tengo aun monstruo metido en el cuarto
Tengo al diablo metido en la cama
De hace rato la casa esta en llamas
Yo me acerco a su puerta y canto

Bigibadi bigibadi bidi bau
Bigigigigigida baun
Rapapapapara

Rapapapapara

Bigibadi bigibadi bidi bau
Bigigigigigida baun
Rapapapapara
Rapapapapara
Rapaparapa

Hay un esqueleto en el closet

Sigue el monsto metido en el cuarto
No se ocmo se hace este exorcismo
Si me acerco me hara mucho daño
Girta como si fuera un espanto

Bigibadi bigibadi bidi bau
Bigigigigigida baun
Rapapapapara

Bigibadi bigibadi bidi bau
Bigigigigigida baun

Hay un esqueleto en el closet

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Mostro" by Los Amigos Invisibles depict a person who is haunted by a monster and the devil, causing chaos in their life. The first two lines express the presence of a monster in the room and the devil in the bed. The house has been engulfed in flames for a while, and the singer approaches the door to sing. The chorus consists of the repetitive sounds of "Bigibadi bigibadi bidi bau" and "Bigigigigigida baun" with interludes of "Rapapapapara," which create a frantic energy to reflect the chaotic situation.

Next, the singer tells us that there is a skeleton in the closet, implying that there may be more secrets hidden in the house. The chorus repeats, and the monster is still in the room, and the singer cannot find a way to exorcise it. The monster screams as if it were possessed, adding to the sense of horror and danger. The song ends with the chorus and a final mention of the skeleton in the closet.

Overall, "Mostro" by Los Amigos Invisibles uses a combination of eerie lyrics and frenetic energy to create a sense of fear and chaos. The song depicts a person struggling to confront their inner demons, both literal and metaphorical, which is a common theme in many types of music.
