La Casa del Ritmo: A Film About Los Amigos Invisibles (2012)

This Kickstarter-funded film is a compelling story about Grammy-winning Venezuelan funksters Los Amigos Invisibles, from their early days playing in Caracas, Venezuela, to being discovered by David Byrne of Talking Heads and their rise to international stardom. The viewer experiences their story as it intertwines with a live performance filmed at the Highline Ballroom in New York City in March 2011. The band, with the same original 6 members, celebrates 20 years in 2011. The film has 600 backers from countries as diverse as Venezuela, Australia, Spain, Ecuador, Chile, Peru, France, Switzerland and the USA.
