Legendary Juan Formell of Los Van Van Passed Away at 71 - Big Loss for Cuba

A big legend in Cuban music history died yesterday. Juan Formell from Los Van Van passed away at 71 years. I will always love and play the music of Juan Formell y Los Van Van for the rest of my life. Los Van Van was the first timba I heard that made me want to hear more. One of the best musicians and a mentor to many Cuban musicians of our time.
