📝 Our review

Llegó Van Van is both a compilation and a definitive international introduction to Los Van Van. Cuban son and timba at their purest: Juan Formell as architect of a sound that has evolved for decades without losing its identity. The danceable energy is irresistible and the production honours tradition without constraining it. A perfect entry point to one of the most important Cuban groups of the 20th century.
