Los Van Van US Tour Delayed
Atraso en el visado de Samuel Formell
Hemos recibido una notificación de Fuego Entertainment que la gira de Los Van Van ha sido pospuesta por razones de immigración. La visa de Samuel Formell, percusionista del grupo e hijo del director Juán Formell, no ha sido procesada y el grupo no se siente cómodo sin su percusionista principal. Nos explican que las fechas serán postuestas para el mes siguiente de Septiembre.

Afro-Cubism at Stern Grove
Tom Ehrlich reporting for La Última
Eliades Ochoa had already hatched the idea for the Afro-Cubism project when the Buena Vista Social Club phenomenon swept him onto the world stage in 1997. Now, 15 years later, his original vision has finally been realized: master musicians from Cuba playing son with master musicians from the African country of Mali playing traditional Malian music. I was thrilled to photograph the historic collaboration on a magical afternoon of music at Stern Grove Park in San Francisco. Click here the full gallery. [Tom Ehrlich]
