Los Van Van live in concert on Thursday 1st March 2012, at Electric – Brixton (formerly The Fridge), 1 Town Hall Parade, London SW2 1RJ, doors open 8:30 pm.

Directly from Havana, known to Cubans as “EL TREN de la SALSA” and to the rest of the world as the “The Rolling Stones of Cuba” …the incomparable Latin Grammy winners Los Van Van return to London after one year absence.

The greatest Cuban dance band in the world today, Los Van Van, land back in London on Thursday 1st March 2012. 
With a career spanning 43 years, no wonder they are nicknamed “the Rolling Stones of Cuban music” Still led by original founder member and bassist Juan Formell, since 1969 they have produced some of the most influential Latin music of all time, often introducing new rhythms and styles that have set dance floors on fire across the world! 

Having won a Latin Grammy award for the album “Van Van is Here” (Llegó Van Van) in 2000, Los Van Van are no strangers to playing crowds in their tens of thousands, especially across Latin America where they headline stadiums! 

Los Van Van will arrive with new vocalist Mandy Cantero to replace Mayito Rivera, who left the band in September to focus on his solo career. Armando “Mandy” Cantero is one of the shinning stars that have been part of ensembles such as Pupy y los que Son Son or Charanga Forever. Mandy began to stand out by himself, and started to take his rightful place amongst the already well-established Cuban singers.
