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.

We received notice from Fuego Entertainment that the upcoming Los Van Van US Tour has been postponed due to a visa provessing delay. Other sources confirm the visa in question belongs to Samuel Formell, the drummer, timbalero and son of the band's director and founder Juán Formell. The group feels uncomfortable going forward without its main pecussionist so the dates have been postponed to September. We will report on any specific dates and venues as soon as we recieve these confirmations.
