¡Van Van empezó la fiesta! (2001)

The members of the superband Los Van Van tell their individual stories, comment on the love and pride they feel for their group, and testify about the origin, development, and characteristics of the most famous Cuban dance orchestra—founded more than forty years ago by Juan Formell—until they won the coveted Grammy Award in February 2000. Of particular note are the sincere and entertaining statements by singer Mayito and those popular melodies with which our people have identified themselves for several decades.
