“Prince wants to party with them. Salsa legend Larry Harlow is itching to school them. And groove maestro Maceo Parker can’t wait to blow with them again. Since roaring out of Austin, Texas, several years ago, the horn-laden combo Grupo Fantasma has become the nation’s most visible purveyor of Latin funk, and everybody seems to want a piece of the action.

The 10-piece band, which performs at the Museum of Fine Arts tomorrow, is building on its triumphant 2007 run, which included a command London performance with Prince last August. Fantasma had already played a two-month run at Prince’s Vegas club and entertained at his celebrity-filled, post-Golden Globe Awards party.”*

I got to see them in a small venue with less than 100 people a couple of weeks ago - lots of fun.
