About this concert
Los Van Van: Druckvoll und ungemein tanzbar! Zweifellos ist Los Van Van Kuba‘s die Nummer 1 Kubas und eine der bedeutendsten Salsa-Bands weltweit. Vor über 50 Jahren gegründet, prägt die Gruppe als ständiger Trendsetter und Erneuerer die kubanische Musikszene wie keine andere. Der Grammy prämierte Sound des 16-köpfigen Orchesters ist für die gesamte Latinszene so einzigartig wie unerreicht. Erkennbar an unzählige Hits und vielen internationale Auszeichnungen, u.a. der Grammy Life Achievment Special Award welcher dem Gründer Juan Formell kurz vor seinem überraschenden Tod 2013 verliehen wurde. Heute geführt vom Sohn und Weltklasse Drummer Samuel Formell beeindruckt Los Van Van mit einer explosiven Mischung aus erfahrenen Musikern der ersten Generationen und einer Auswahl der herausragenden Talente Kubas. Im Gepäck das Album ‚Modo Van Van‘ - erneut ein Meilenstein der kubanischen Musik!

Los Van Van Biography
Los Van Van is a Cuban band led by bassist Juan Formell, and is considered to be one of Cuba's major timba acts, while Juan Formell has arguably become the most important figure in contemporary Cuban music.
In 1967, Formell became musical director of Elio Reve's charanga orchestra. He reformatted the group into Changui '68, and then founded his own group, Los Van Van, on December 4, 1969.
Musical style
Using a charanga line-up as its base, Van Van added trombones and vocals, and was the first Cuban group to use synthesizers and drum machines. Their sound was a fusion of changui and son montuno with various types of music, including Afro-Cuban rhythms, rock, funk, disco, and hip hop. Juan Formell contributed countless innovations to the Cuban bass and clave, which paved the way for a radical reconceptualisation of rhythmic arrangements in Cuban music. The Van Van sound came to be known as songo (based on the songo rhythm), which laid the base for the later development of timba.
Los Van Van has consistently managed to adapt its style to the times, and remains, after 35 years, Cuba's most popular dance band. Along with pianist Cesar "Pupy" Pedroso, Juan Formell has written some of the most intriguing verses in popular dance music, including stories that run over several albums and, contrary to trends in timba, all types of social commentary. Both artists are undisputed masters of double-entendre in a musical culture where multiple meanings in lyrics are pervasive.
Awards
The band has two Grammy Awards to their credit.
Notable personnel
Los Van Van has been a school for outstanding singers and musicians. Past members with successful careers as solo artists include Pedro Calvo, Angel Bonne, Changuito, Cesar "Pupy" Pedroso and others. As of 2006, Los Van Van probably have the best lineup of singers for a Cuba band composed of; Mayito Rivera, Roberto Hernandez "Roberton", Yeni Valdes and Lele Rosales.
