Cuban Band Van Van to Tour the US

Havana.- The mythical Cuban orchestra Los Van Van returns with its music to the United States, where during next June and part of July they will carry out presentations in more than 10 states, said the group. Diverse scenarios of California, Arizona, Nevada, New Mexico, Texas, Lousiana, Florida, Georgia, North California, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York and Washington will open the doors to the Cuban musical ensemble known as "The Musical Train of Cuba", as they announced in their official profile in the social networks.

 

The tour also includes a stop in Puerto Rico, July 9, in the Tito Puente Amphitheater.

 

The previous year, the orchestra celebrated her 46 years, from their foundation on December 4, 1969, and still in the popular preference.

 

Although the death of Juan Formell, its creator, May 1. 2014 shocked the group and the public, Los Van Van continues with a career of successes.

 

Classic and popular, the topics of the group have been for more than 40 years the music in the day by day of many Cubans and a connection between veteran and beginner lovers of the salsa music and the casino dance steps.

 

Los Van Van became social, the narrator of the more dissimilar events with manners, characters and sticky sentences.

 

Juan Formell (1942-2014) intended from the beginnings to make something different and he took of the most diverse sources: the charanga format and funk airs, filin and ballad.

 

His son, Samuel Formell, current director of the band, is willing to continue what his father began.
