| About Dj Afro from los amigos invisibles |
|
DJ Afro (A.K.A. Jose Luis Pardo)
If you go to a Los Amigos Invisibles (LAI), you will never listen to any Shakira or Enrique Iglesias because DJ Afro, the bands guitar player, is in charge of heating up the party and making sure the night starts well enough to move your feet with really funky rhythms.
Time has passed and Dj Afro (a.k.a Jose Luis Pardo) has managed to get the party going even when LAI are not playing after him.
He is responsible for writing more than 80% LAIs music, as well as playing guitar, keyboard and background vocals for all five albums. He has also been featured on Louie Vega's "Elements of life" and Dimitri from Paris' "Cruising attitude".
Aside from his work with the band, DJ Afro also enjoys a respected career as a remix producer. He just released his first solo track, "Mala Idea" (look at you records). He has published several remixes for Dimitri from Paris, and in his remix' reel you can find tracks of Beastie Boys, Fantastic Plastic Machine, David Byrne, Radio Zumbido, Fundación Tony Manero, Sonorama, Soul Coughing, Los Amigos Invisibles, John Scofield and others.
As a DJ with a bag full of records that can go from Samba to Boogaloo, from Rare Grooves to Organic House to Disco, he can make people smile and start dancing almost anywhere.
DJ Afro has been spinning all around New York City since he moved here. He has been a guest behind the decks in parties like Turntables on the Hudson, Giant Step, PS-1, Shelter, Cielo, Suba, Remote lounge, Nublu, Pink (SF), Knitting Factory (LA), La santanera (playa del Carmen), O bar (Dallas), Sala Arena (Madrid), The Basement (Australia) and others. He has opened for Dimitri from Paris and Little Louie Vega. Nowadays, DJ Afro's afterparties in local clubs following LAIs gigs are becoming a standard in every city they perform.
Afro is also part of expansion team, a prestigious agency of top of the line producers that create music for commercial spots and films. He has produced original music for brands like Mazda, Sears, Miller, General Motors, AT&T and Sony, among others.
He was also the mind behind CHILL OUT VENEZUELA (Gozadera Records, 2004), a compilation featuring the new scene of young Venezuelan producers that has been very well received by music lovers. He is now finalizing details on its follow up, "DANCE VENEZUELA".
DJ Afro recently composed the soundtrack for Sed en los Pies, a short film that opened in Venezuela in late 2005, and he will be working on the music for Mexican director Luis Sanchez new film. Afros music will also accompany Crimanesa Amorosos new art piece.
For the past two years, he has recorded a weekly radio show, DJ AFRO Y SU RUMBA BARATA, which airs in Caracas every Friday on ATENEO 100.7 FM, with great feedback. Afro is also in charge of choosing the playlists at SUBA, one of the most prestigious restaurants in downtown Manhattan.
Jose Luis also has a life as a journalist. He writes a column for two magazines: PLAY (Venezuela) and EL HUEVO (México) and he contributes frequently to other Venezuelan magazines like TODO EN DOMINGO
