Variety galore! |
|
Although I much prefer their more recent music, this comprehensive compilation shows you how the band evolves and the different sounds which have been added.Maybe not the ideal choice for a salsa dj, but great if you like latin music(esp. Afro-cuban sounds). |

Superb Compilation... |
|
This is a terrific introduction to Los Van Van, one of the most interesting bands in the world, for those who don't know much about them or those who have, say, one or two LVV records and want to hear more without having to buy a lot of CDs from their 30 year history. Any 2 CD compilation of a band with that long and varied a history is sure to leave out some favorites, but this set is well-chosen, particularly in the later years. Even better, it includes a fabulous 100-page plus booklet with a history of the band, lyrics in English and Spanish, discography and a list of the musicians who have been in and out of this group over the past three decades. My hat is off to the people who put this together. It is done with love and intelligence. Rare enough to see either of those. My only quibble is the absence of the some of the classic cha-chas from LVV's early period such as "De 5 a 7" but they can be had on other compilations. Also, I highly recommend LVV's new American release "Llego Van Van". It's a spectacular record, one of the classics of Latin dance music I think, which picks up just where this collection ends. Since Marketadvisory has yet to put up any real information about this set, I'll just mention that it's two CDs, one devoted to 1969-1989, the second one to Van Van in the 90s. Hope Marketadvisory puts up a track listing and some samples soon for other buyers. If you have Llego Van Van and are intrigued to hear more, this is well worth it! |

An unsuccessful attempt to recycle garbage. |
|
Listening to this CD is a close encounter with an Unbearably Faulty Object. The producers have attempted to recycle the multiple bad-quality recordings made by this band in Cuba and the quality just isn't there. Too bad. |
