Where it came from
The 1994 release titled 'Los Van Van 1974' serves as a retrospective compilation of the early sound of the legendary Cuban orchestra Los Van Van, led by bassist and composer Juan Formell. The collection focuses on material originally recorded in the mid-1970s, a period when the group was defining the 'songo' rhythm, a sophisticated fusion of traditional son cubano, jazz, and funk that revolutionized the Cuban dance music landscape.
The design and curation of this release reflect a renewed international interest in Cuban vintage recordings during the early 1990s. While the technical origins of the tracks trace back to the group's formative years in Havana, this specific compilation was issued under the Murakami's label to introduce Formell's innovative arrangements to a wider global audience, highlighting the band's transition from their initial experiments toward the polished, high-energy sound that would make them icons of contemporary salsa and timba.
