Flagship orchestra of Cuban popular music

MAY 13th 10:00pm

Flagship orchestra of Cuban popular music, founded in 1969 by the composer, bassist and arranger Juan Formell who, after his death, in May 2014, his son Samuel Formell assumed the direction of the group. Considered internationally as the Rolling Stones of salsa, and nationally as El Tren de la Música Cubana, it has been the cradle of prestigious musicians, and is the creative group and defender of SONGO, while it has received influences as varied as of Rock n’ Roll, funk and Pop. The orchestra is distinguished by the use of picaresque in its lyrics, which is why it has been a chronicler of its times and has placed many phrases in popular slang. Van Van is an obligatory reference when talking about culture in Cuba and has remained a public preference for several generations. Los Van Van have been nominated several times for the Grammys. The orchestra is celebrating 50 years of its artistic career. A Noche Blanca for the entire family.
