VivaSantana, a celebration of the music of Carlos Santana. Featuring inspirational Spanish guitarist Marcos Rodriguez..........
This phenomenal 6 piece latin rock explosion continues to amaze fans wherever they present their celebration of the music of the legendary Carlos Santana..........
Playing to full houses as diverse as the prestigious London Guitar Show Wembley to theatres and rock festivals in the UK, Europe and even Cuba where as soloist Marcos Rodriguez' performance was described as "a musical bridge between Cuba and Spain"..........
"When they made Carlos Santana someone forgot to break the mould !" said one astonished fan, who himself was veteran of listening to 5 decades of that distinctive Santana guitar tone..........
It's all there, from the powerful 4 piece rythmn section that brings the heartbeat of the band that is congas, timbales, drums and bass, to the infectious Cuban piano and haunting Hammond organ wizzardry of a truly gifted keyboard maestro. The famous soulfull vocal melodies in the native languages of the Americas complete what was recently described by Classic Rock Magazine as "One Of The Top 5 Must See Tributes In The UK" Though the tag of Tribute band just dosen't do this group of talented musicians justice..........
Guitarist Marcos was recently quoted as saying "Santana live is almost like a religious service. Carlos is the Pope and you can't always get to see him. So when I play I'm just a priest reciting the Gospel.But the message is the same! The audience response at our shows and their messages on our website proves it!! "..........
Carlos Santana changed the face of Rock Music forever when he stormed Woodstock in 1969 with his own special fusion of rock, latin, jazz and the music of Africa. Now, at last, a chance to experience the raw emotion of a Santana concert..........
Created in the spring of the Millennium year by inspirational Spanish guitarist Marcos Rodriguez. The VivaSantana family consists of talented, dedicated, professional musicians who fully immerse themselves to recreate the moods, sounds and atmosphere of Santana's music with passion, heart, soul and chilling accuracy. This powerful six piece band take you through the Santana years from Abraxas to the recent hits from Supernatural and Shaman.Now recognised as the number one tribute to Carlos Santana..........
VivaSantana Much more than a tribute, a Supernatural experience!!..........
"One of the top 5 tribute bands in the UK. A must see for all Santana fans."
