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.
Members of Grupo Fantasma include, or have included, Adrian Quesada and Leo Gauna.
