I won't believe it until I see it - with the cancellation earlier this year of Los Van Van in the midst of a booking snafu, we "
vanvaneros y vanvaneras" were slightly pessimistic. But word is the U.S. tour is on, with stops in LA and NYC before a four-day stint at
Yoshi's in San Francisco. The format of the band may have changed over the years, and yes - Pedrito Calvo is not scheduled to appear with them after all - but no matter:
el tren always delivers. Any of you naysayers out there will be in for a post-modern Cuban shock; nothing like this 15-piece+ band playing live to knock your socks off!
Get your dancing shoes on -
¡que pronto empieza la fiesta!
UPDATE 12/2/10 @ 1pm ~
As of today 3 of Los Van Van's band members - including director Juan Formell - have not received their U.S. visas. I guess we'll have to wait and see what happens.
Here is a link to the LA Times article.
UPDATE 12/3/10 ~ Looks like the visa snafu has been solved. We shall see...
