Los Van Van Concert at the Conga Room in LA - Thurs. Aug 13th
That's right! I said it! The Cuban band we all have been waiting for to play in Southern California. For those who are new to the Cuban dance scene, Los Van Van are world famous and have been the driving force of quality Cuban salsa music since the 70's. In 1999, Los Van Van won a Grammy (Latin/Best Salsa Performance) for their album Llego Van Van. Read up on this amazing orquestra by clicking here. Last year on May 1st 2014, their band leader, director and composer, Juan Formell, passed away. Cuba mourned his passing as a huge loss to the entire island. In a posthumous effort to celebrate the contributions of Juan Formell, Los Van Van recorded and released a new album called Homenaje Formell - La Fantasia(2014).
