Juan Formel & Los Van Van - Los Van Van 1974
Review by Lyndon John de Leon
Los Van Van 1974 by Juan Formel & Los Van Van is a classic Latin album that has stood the test of time. The album features a blend of salsa, funk, and Afro-Cuban rhythms that are sure to get anyone dancing. The band's signature sound of heavy bass lines, horns, and percussion is present throughout the album.
The title track "Los Van Van" is a standout with its catchy chorus and upbeat tempo. "La Protesta de las Gallinas" is another notable track that showcases the band's ability to incorporate social commentary into their music.
Formel's songwriting and arrangement skills are on full display on this album, as he seamlessly blends different genres and influences. The production quality is also top-notch, with each instrument and voice clearly defined in the mix.

Notes
- Jewel Case
- [94-7-1] (L)(X)
- The original albums should be "Juan Formel & Los Van Van" and adding a track called "Son Eternos El Orgullo Y El Valor Del Pueblo Cubano" at the end. However there is nothing mentioned about the original label, Areito, anywhere in the sleeve at all.

Absolutely nutso drumming/percussion on this song
La conocí en la canción popurrí de los 70's en Van Van, que era la mejor parte de la canción. Me gusta aunque la letra no tenga nada de sentido. Curioso porque las canciones cubanas siempre se caracterizan por su letra.
That background bass I’m reminded of Gorillaz’s Starshine
dope
Just an amazing musical journey, surprises at every break.
Sampled by Jurassic 5 if I remember correctly
Esta cancione j me trae recuerdos d mi infancia. Mi padre es fanático devoto de los Van van y sus éxitos mas antiguos. Como bailaba yo de niña con el guararey de Pastora. Aaaayyyyyyy mi Cuba como la extraño q tiempos!!! Y q buena musica
One of the best Cuban bands from the second half of the 20th century.
