About Grupo Fantasma
Austin, Texas’s Grupo Fantasma is an 11-piece ensemble that specializes in Latin funk, with elements of rock, salsa, cumbia, and reggae in the mix. Formed by members of former Austin-based outfits the Blimp and the Blue Noise Band, Grupo Fantasma began performing in 2000, immediately gaining a local following with their high-energy live shows. Their self-titled debut appeared in 2002, followed by MOVIMIENTO POPULAR in 2004. Appearances on AUSTIN CITY LIMITS and with Prince (the band has performed at Prince-owned venues and backed him at the 2007 ALMA awards) significantly increased the band’s popularity. Two more albums appeared in ’06 and ’08, respectively. Despite a courtship from major labels, Grupo Fantasma has chosen to release their albums independently, staying true to their grassroots beginnings.
