Le Picó
Erik Aldrey the man behind Le Picó, set his mark as part of the well-known Venezuelan funky band Los Amigos Invisibles (LAI). Erik couched and created their signature sound, earning with them a best Latin Rock Album nomination for the American Grammy’s. They also, worked together on various remixes for bands such as Beastie Boys, Fantastic Plastic Machine, Ely Guerra, David Byrne, Corner Shop and Soul Coughing among others.

After moving to London, Erik started making music with a different approach that later became Le Picó: A hybrid of old school Latin and funk roots with dance beats from around the world, rock elements and twisted up with the most exquisite electronic treatment.

Erik has done various remixes for other artists such as: Lekan Babalola (Mr. Bongo); and ‘Fix Your Mind’ for Los Amigos Invisibles, originally produced by Masters at Work. ‘Fix Your Mind’ made it to the top ten on the Music Week’s Club Chart. His debut album Le Picó features collaborations by Julio Briceño and Armando Figueredo (Entre tus Brazos, Ríe) from funky Venezuelan band Los Amigos Invisibles. Karla Bahia (Ríe, A Vida Rara) and Darren Cumberbatch (Open Your Eyes) among others.
