About this song
Los Van Van is a Cuban band in the son genre that helped pioneer songo in the late 1960s, blending electric instruments, jazz influences, and dance-focused son with topical lyrics. They are among Cuba’s most popular groups, known for shaping a sound that draws on African roots and island song traditions.
