With eleven members to pound out their exuberant, high energy sound, Groupo Fantasma takes their Latin funk orchestra to the next level. The Austin natives play over 150 shows a year and the group often serves as Prince?s backing band. Pulling from cumbia, salsa, old-school funk, and reggae influences, Groupo Fantasma was nominated for Best Latin or Alternative Rock Album in 2009 and later won the award in 2011 for their latest release, El Existential.
