Los Amigos Invisibles - Cuchi Cuchi

More retro boogaloo grooves from Los Amigos Invisibles from the album Arepa 3000.

The Benny Hill-style video takes a few seconds to warm up but stick with it.

The band are now based in New York City but Arepa 3000 harks back to the year 2000, just after they were picked up by David Byrne's Luaka Bop label.
