Los Van Van are playing the Hammersmith Palais next Friday, 23rd February, for the opening night of the 'La Linea' Latin music festival. One not to be missed for the Cuban music fans. Unfortunately I'm going to miss it :(
Los Van Van are the leading Cuban band, led by Juan Formell, the inventor of the 'songo' style. You'll be familiar with some of their tracks - eg 'Temba, Tumba y Timba' and 'Este te pone la cabeza mala'.
A brief warning, by the way: there's a CD around called 'The Best of Juan Formell y los Van Van'. I bought it and was disappointed to find that it's all older stuff (which isn't really to my taste) and doesn't have any of the storming more recent tracks.
