Cuban dance band Los Van Van will return to Miami in January for the first time since more than 3,500 protesters demonstrated against their concert outside the Miami Arena in 1999.
The band, which celebrated its 40th anniversary this month, will play at the James L. Knight Center on January 31.
They will play another show January 28 in Key West.
Los Van Van was the first group in Cuba to use synthesizers and drum machines in its music, creating a new genre of music called ``songo´´ -- soul, disco and go-go music fused with Cuban son.
The group won a Grammy for best salsa performance in 1999.
