Cuba: Van Van Launches its Latest Production
HAVANA, Cuba, Nov 16 (acn) Grammy award winner, Cuban orchestra
Los Van Van, released today its latest disc, “La maquinaria”
(The machinery), produced by the EGREM label at the Abdala
Studios.
|
Juan Formell, Van Van director, who made the
launching at the Havana Libre
Tryp Hotel in this city, said this work was mainly devoted to
dancers,
with great voice work and arrangements.
“I took the opportunity of this disc to make kind of a
retrospective of
the 42 year long Van Van work to try to recover the original
sonority”
said Formell.
This latest work differs from the previous (Arrasando) because
includes
new sounds and arrangements to songs that topped the charts in
the 80s and
90s.
It includes songs like “Recibeme” and “Eso que anda” that were
#1 and have
a great chance of becoming it again within this new work,
according to
Formell, who plays the bass and composes songs.
The cover was designed by Erick Silva and Alberto Medina, and
features the
work of Cuban painter Alexis Leyva, Kcho. The disc gets its name
from its
first song that will promoted in a video clip by Ian Padron,
renowned
moviemaker, who directed the film “Habanastation”
