Los Van Van are one of the top groups in Cuba, consistently popular as a dance band. They will be on their fourth US tour in late April 2000. Their third tour generated some excitment as the Miami Mafia tried to stop them playing there (rioting in the streets), the Oct 9th show in Miami went well with over 4,000 spectators. Van Van picked up a Grammy on 2/23/00 for Salsa Performance: “Llego...Van Van: Van Van is Here."
"Under the direction of songwriter, bassist and vocalist Juan Formell, the 14-piece orchestra plays an irresistible brand of dance music which they originated, called songo— an invigorating fusion of Cuban and Caribbean rhythms, rich with a blend of traditional and contemporary Cuban sounds. Consisting of six independent sections— three vocalists, two violinists, three percussionists, three trombonists, two keyboardists and a bassist— the band is a charanga (flutes and violins), a salsa orchestra (edgy trumpets and trombones), and a premier rock band (electric bass and drums) all in one.

Formed in 1952, this stellar rumba group is famous throughout Cuba and only recently have they come to be noticed in the US. They charmed audiences everywhere on their first, second, and third US tours, in 1992, 1996, and 1998. Now they will be back in August, 1999 and again in the Spring of 2000. The group got its start in 1952 in a bar in Barrio Marina in Matanzas, Cuba, when a group of youths began following the rhythms of a song by Arsenio Rodríguez that was then playing, using dishes and bottles, as is the style in "kitchen rumbas." For more, see "the Foundation."
Their discography is a full list, and includes "El guaguancó de Matanzas" (Siboney,88), "Los Muñequitos de Matanzas" (Ace,90), "Rumba caliente" (Qbadisc,92), "Oyelos de nuevo" (Artex,93), "Real Rumba" (Corasón,94), "Vacunao" (Qbadisc,95) o "Po Iban Eshu" (Qbadisc,96).
Los Muñequitos de Matanzas are part of the living legend of African music in Cuba, and they remain very close to their Abakwa (Efik/Efo) roots.
