How To Book GRUPO FANTASMA For Your Event!

Grupo Fantasma may be available for your next special event!

GRAMMY AWARD winning Grupo Fantasma is a nine-piece Latin funk orchestra from Austin, Texas.

Formed in 2000 from the merger of two Austin acts, The Blimp and The Blue Noise Band, the band emerged with a biweekly gig at the Empanada Parlour in Austin in 2001.

The band is best known for their exuberant live shows, innovative contemporary recordings and associations with Prince and his 3121 Club in Las Vegas. The band backed Prince on numerous occasions, including his performance on the ALMA Awards in 2007, and often performed at his after-party jam sessions.

Grupo Fantasma has been praised as one of the most important independent acts in the Latin genre and has continually defied expectations to create one of the most unique musical voices to come out of the United States in the 21st century. In 2011, they garnered further acclaim by winning a Grammy (their second such nomination) for their self–produced release El Existential on Nat Geo Music.

In addition, they have served as the backing band for and collaborated on several occasions with the late, great, legendary Prince (ALMA Awards on ABC, Golden Globes, CBS Super Bowl Bash, 21 Nights in London), Fania All–Stars pianist Larry Harlow, Sheila E, GZA of Wu-Tang Clan, Maceo Parker, Curt Kirkwood of the Meat Puppets, Ruben Ramos, cult–hero Daniel Johnston, indie rock standouts Spoon, Los Lobos and many others.

Their seventh full-length album American Music Vol. VII was released in March 2019 on Blue Corn Music. The very title of the record takes on definitions of identity, borders and who is illegal or "other". In presenting their unique multi-ethnic musical mix to audiences over the years, Grupo Fantasma were constantly challenged by "the concept of identity, citizenship, and the nationality of music," especially in the press and music industry. Yet, as they attest, in many ways "music is the ultimate assimilator, crossing borders and cultures and mutating to represent the experiences of its performers."

HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO BOOK/HIRE GRUPO FANTASMA?
(i.e., what is the booking fee to hire GRUPO FANTASMA for an event?)
(i.e., what is GRUPO FANTASMA booking fee to perform at an event?)

Factors influencing pricing vary and may include date, location, type of event, whether a private party or a public concert, the artist's calendar, whether the artist is on tour or not, how well tickets are selling at the artist's concerts, the current demand for the artist's music, market activity, etc.

As you might expect, the more in-demand the artist is, the more buyers are prepared to pay. Of course, this causes the artist's price to increase as the artist becomes more popular or decrease when becoming less popular.

Exclusive agents with exclusive representation frequently quote a range instead of a specific price, since changes can occur at anytime. Generally, the artist's manager has a role in the decision to accept any particular offer from a talent buyer.
