Los Umbrellos was a dance ensemble specializing in Latin pop, originating in Denmark under the guidance of record producer Kenneth Bager in 1997, and concluding their activities by 1999. The group featured rapper Al Agami, who is known as the displaced crown prince of the African Lado Enclave, his family having escaped from Ugandan ruler Idi Amin. Supporting vocals were contributed by Mai Britt Vingsøe and Grith Höifeldt, both former models and television presenters from Denmark.
Their only album, titled Flamenco Funk (1997), included the hit single "No Tengo Dinero". This track achieved a peak position of number 33 on the UK Singles Chart and reached number 42 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100. Moreover, it secured the top spot on the Austrian charts and ranked within the top five in countries such as New Zealand, Switzerland, and Italy.
