1.0 out of 5 stars This is not the real Van Van, January 20, 2002
By 
Agustin Gurza (Redondo Beach, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: 3 Decadas De Su Musica (Audio CD)
This is a case of dishonest packaging. Fans (like me) think we're buying a 30-year compilation by Los Van Van headed by Juan Formell in Cuba. But only the tiny fine print inside the CD package gives a clue that this is not the real thing. It's some unknown group doing covers of the hits. The only tenuous connection to Van Van is lead singer Israel Kantor (originally Sardinas) who sang with Van Van many moons ago before moving to Miami. The deception is outrageous -- and unnecessary. They should have been honest about it and told buyers these are cover versions, because Kantor and his phony Van Van actually improve some of the very early tunes like Chirrin Charran and Seis Semanas, which he originally sang in the bad old days of Cuban recording technology. As for the more recent numbers, they sure fall flat. That's why "La Bomba Soy Yo" sounds like a pale imitation of the real thing, because it is just that. This album needs a consumer warning label: Caution: Contains counterfeit Cuban music.

5.0 out of 5 stars Son lo mejor en songo,, September 3, 2002
By 
"diegaek" (Tumaco, Nariño Colombia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: 3 Decadas De Su Musica (Audio CD)
los Van Van son una orquesta cubana que me encanta, no solo por el hecho de su musica, sino también por el frenesí que me mueve por el hecho de ser un negro colombiano.

Me gustaría que me dieran información sobre los van van, cual de todos es su último cd, y además poder intercambiar musica, es la mejor banda de songo del MUNDO, VIVA VAN VAN.....t

5.0 out of 5 stars WOW, what a great CD......, November 28, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: 3 Decadas De Su Musica (Audio CD)
As an avid fan of Los Van Van I highly recommend this CD. I have many of their CDs and this one is arguably the best. While Sandunguera (Por Encima del Nivel) has been included in many others (I have over 4 cuts of this song) the version here is different (probably from an early jam\descarga) and it is outstanding. I challenge anybody to stay still while it plays. The Candela piece is also excellent but frankly the whole CD is great..... and very well recorded - sounds like a live performance. Hard to stop playing it....
