Since then, they’ve shown the world many times over that party music can be a joyful mash-up of influences, in the same way that Stereolab makes Krautrock feel new and Fantastic Plastic Machine meshes bossa nova, house, and ’60s-movie soundtracks. As those bands still feel distinctly French and Japanese, Los Amigos’ funky acid jazz is Latin pop at heart—created with a lot of it. Still touring for their latest release, 2005’s Super Pop Venezuela, they’re joined by Sly Lothario and DJ Darek Mazzone tonight. — RACHEL SHIMP
