The new director of Los Van Van said that La Fantasía (Egrem, 2014) includes 14 themes, five of them by his father, among which the one which gives the name to the production in which other members of the group participate as authors.

The orchestra, which is known by their social chronicle style and the popular tint they give to their sound, maintains this line in the record, which is the debut of Samuel as general producer and shows the new way they somehow started after Formell´s death last May.

The concert in the University Steps on December 5 will be a good occasion to present their new work and for the public to acquire it, although we will focus in our previous work, we want to summarize 45 years career in the show, he pointed at.
