Μια από τις δημοφιλέστερες μπάντες κουβανέζικης μουσικής. Τους έχω δει live στο Λυκαβηττό 21 Ιουνίου 1999.
ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC!
Formed in 1969, Los Van Van (Spanish for "The Go Gos") are the world's premier Latin dance band, masters of the "songo" rhythm they invented. Unafraid to experiment, they've added trombones, synthesizers and drum machines to their rhythm-and-violins charanga sound, and they occasionally use rock chord progressions and bass lines. They're not a fearsome collection of virtuoso players like NG La Banda, but bassist/founder Juan Formell is an ace composer/arranger of dance grooves, and even sneaks in a moving ballad from time to time. Like all Cuban bands, Los Van Van's records are hard to find in the US, and their discography is a nightmare, so I'm listing all the records I've got, including compilations - but if you're interested in where Cuban music has gone since the 1959 Revolution, you should snap up anything by these guys you can find.
