Cuba's Los Van Van on the go, coming to once-hostile Miami

In this Thursday, Jan. 22, 2015 photo, Samuel Formell, a musician with the Cuban band Los Van Van, poses for a photograph following an interview in Miami Beach, Fla. The group is returning to a less polarized Miami as part of its fifth U.S. tour, just as the Obama administration is easing a half-century of restrictions on Cuba, making travel to and from the Communist-governed island easier. (AP Photo/Lynne Sladky) MIAMI BEACH, Florida (AP) — Los Van Van, one of Cuba's greatest dance bands, once made history of a sort just by playing in Miami, overcoming city attempts to ban the concert and braving thousands of enraged protesters to put on a concert in the heart of anti-Castro activism.
