Los Van Van or rather Juan Formell y su Los Van Van
I would like to share some music from a legendary salsa band.
I'm not going to tell you the story of Los Van Van, [I do not pretend to it and many others have done it before me](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Los_Van_Van). You will find all the necessary information on this group, [on many websites](www.vanvandeformell.com/).
http://www.steemimg.com/images/2017/02/16/JuanFormellyLosVanVan4c550.jpg

I will just talk about it in broad outline, because my goal is more to talk about their headlines. The Los Van Van were created by [Juan Formell](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juan_Formell) in 1969, he died unfortunally the first may 2014... He was the bassist and leader of the group, now it is his son Samuel Formell who took over and is also, the drummer of the group. The Los Van Van have seen several talented singers scroll through the years, I stayed in Roberto, Mayito, Yenny and Lele, only that has changed since then, and this is likely to change again, so there is no need to drag on.
# Agua : The first coup de coeur
The first title I picked from them was "Agua" in the album [Chapeando (2006)](https://www.discogs.com/fr/Los-Van-Van-Juan-Formell-Chapeando/release/5043842),  a title that called the **[rueda de casino](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rueda_de_Casino)**. These famous ruedas ended in pure madness collective due to a gradual increase in rhythm.
Very energetic, festive, invigorating, this title is as resourcing as water, Agua. It is played by Mayito.

Chapeando was the first album I got and it was a real boon for me to have discovered Cuban music with this album, it was and still remains a sound treasure to possess, the abuse of which will not be sanctioned :-)

To be discovered urgently:
"Anda ven y quiereereme" performed by Lélé (my vocal chéwoui) ....
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rt92OLY42-0
"Despues de todo" performed by Yenny, a beautiful song of love ......
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ksogNAUWB7o
"Ven, Ven, Ven" played by Roberto, simply powerful.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lpOL1W0mPs4
La buena, corazon ....
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oqRrp9xzGc4
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TyZwZXBFlwI
I strongly advise you to listen to this album, it is discovered as if it had just left the studios of recordings.
# The second slap Que Den Candela
Then the second title that struck me directly in el corazon is "Que den candela", still from Los Van Van in the album Disco [Azucar (1992)](https://www.discogs.com/es/Los-Van-Van-Azúcar/release/2457258).
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DoWDfJ2Y5qE
We found this title throughout the beginner's courses because the rhythm was slow enough to allow us to perform well the mambo, salsa, and other no bases, as well as the first movements, [reverso](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YOaCE5k9tdA), [passeala](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dnkp2O5z4D0), [dile que no](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TrDuKwlyXG4) ...
I remember trying to get her back to work at home the famous [vacilala](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fdJvM5_oYuI) ... .. hard, hard, to keep balance.
Is not it magnificent! Interpreted by Pedro Calvo ?
Very quickly, I was looking to have the album [En el malecon de la Habana (2002)](https://www.amazon.fr/Malecon-Habana-Juan-Formell-Los/dp/B00008DAND), Just try this one : 
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zzMaR2Xwlo4
You have to discover the rest of the album:
"Temba, Tumba y Timba" (Rueda !!!!),
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_1y1LdsGl-k
"Mi chocolate" (Rueda !!!!),
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_AMwA2MNrOc
 "Esto te pone the cabeza mala" ......
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0TvrHC4qtgA
In short! This album is a little jewel to deposit in the box of your playlist.
It was the first three albums I had in my possession, and that was how my library was created.
# Llego : The Perfection
Another album that I had to talk, even if it is a real torture for me to stop here, it is [Llego Van Van (2003)](https://www.amazon.fr/Llego-Van-Los-2003-06-10/dp/B01K8QUTA6), listening here:
Http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/losvanvan
I must start with "Permiso que llego van van" and then "Appapas del Calabar"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZK7v3RvwDNE
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pSuhgBG8iXQ
It includes "Temba, Tumba y Timba", but also ...... "Havana City" of which there is also another version at Angel Bonne.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yhnIBbFv-hs
Llego Van Van is a superb album that I strongly advise you to possess also.
And I stop here, certainly it would be easy, for me, to link for example on the album [Arrasando](https://www.discogs.com/fr/Los-Van-Van-Arrasando/release/5043874), or [Ay dios Amparame](https://www.discogs.com/Juan...Ay-Dios-Amparame/.../5659040), but I will spare you this because the list is too long.
The Los Van Van are undoubtedly one of the pillars of Cuban music and their titles are true creators of feelings of physical well-being. For those who vibrate with music, it is without hesitation that I advise you to discover this legendary group.

I will finally make you listen to some titles that I like and a link to instruct you on Los Van Van which actually pronounces "Los Ban Ban".

"Me mantengo" Just Genialissime
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WsM69uvdOaY
Attention in this clip Yogurt at 2 minutes 55, the papy in yellow shirt with glasses Of sun is Juan Formell, and to the battery, his son Samuel.

**Don't Forget to dance a little bit every day Steemer !!!!**
