Los Van Van @ The Conga Room ~ Dec 2.

12:40 PM PST on November 14, 2010

UPDATE: THE SHOW IS POSTPONED DUE TO VISA ISSUES

Referred to as The Rolling Stones of Salsa, Cuba’s legendary group, Los Van Van will perform at the World Famous Conga Room at LA Live on Thursday, December 2. Produced by Fuego Entertainment, this rare and long-awaited performance will launch their first U.S. tour in years. It will be a night that will make history and a show that fans will not want to miss.

Formed and led by the mega talented composer/ bassist Juan Formell in 1969, Los Van Van are innovators of the Cuban style of salsa, known as ‘Songo,’ a reshaped version of the traditional sound combining Afro-Cuban, rock, hip-hop, funk, and disco with the use of electric guitars, synthesizers and violins.

However, this does not include any other fines related to equipment restrictions or lack of permits. This also means that while a vendor can’t be cited for vending in areas like the Hollywood Walk of Fame anymore, they can still get cited for other city regulations.
