Los Van Van, the iconic and quintessential
sound of Cuba, will ignite the Concert Hall
with their hot fusion of Cuban rhythms for
one show only on August 15, as part of an
international tour taking in Asia and Europe.
Known as 'The Rolling Stones of Latin Music',
the 16-piece Los Van Van formed just ten
years after Castro's 1959 Revolution and
has remained the biggest name in the history
of Cuban dance bands ever since. After forty
years they are still Cuba's most popular
dance band with legions of fans throughout
the world.
Founded by Juan Formell, affectionately
known in Cuba as 'Saint Juan', Los Van Van
changed the course of popular music for
an entire generation, alongside artists
such as The Beatles and Aretha Franklin.
Their original sound continues to break
musical ground and set trends under the
direction of renowned drummer Samuel Formell
(Juan’s son) who now leads the band.
Playing from a charanga line-up as its base,
Los Van Van play a fusion of Afro-Cuban
rhythms with Latin jazz, salsa, rock, funk,
disco, and hip-hop. The inimitable Van Van
sound has developed over the years into
the unique “in-your-face” Cuban
version of salsa, known the world over as
timba.
Supporting Los Van Van are Sydney’s
Latin music dreamteam, Latin Block Party,
delivering a blistering repertoire of epic
dancefloor originals with a nod to retro
Cuban salsa hits. The allstar ten-piece
includes the inimitable Oscar Jimenez (Watussi),
Latin soul diva Merenia Gillies (Reyes de
la Onda), salsa chanteuse Toni Allayialis
(Samba Mundi/Espirito), Cuban prodigy Armandito
Garcia (Armandito y su Trovason), Uruguayan
salsero Gonzalo Porta (Sydney Salsa Allstars)
and Latin-jazz trombone maestro Martin Taylor
(Mucho Mambo Orchestra).
Los Van Van, with special guests Latin Block
Party, will be an unforgettable night of
epic Afro-Cuban musical proportions.
