PHOTOS BY TOM EHRLICH © 2010

Los Van Van played to four nights of sold out crowds and confirmed they are Cuban dance music royalty.  When the music is great, I tend to take too many photos.  So finally after going through hundreds of photos from the first two nights, here's a large collection of photos.  I will follow up with a smaller collection of photos from the second two nights soon.

All photos taken and presented courtesy of Fuego Entertainment.
