Carlos Santana is a living legend in not just rock guitar circles, but in all categories relative to music. His scope of influences has seen him bring us music layered with progressive, jazz, dance, rock, and he ultimately has pioneered the Santana signature sound by establishing an unprecedented marriage between rock and Latino rhythms. An avid supporter of many charities and causes, he personally donated percussion and drums to a local school here in Las Vegas on his recent trip - the man does not just "believe" in giving back to the community - he lives it!

Santana's latest tour; "Supernatural" is an A - Z musical glimpse at his mighty career, with live song performances accompanied by video snippets and clips taken over the many years Carlos has been providing us with great music.
The current band line-up is a stellar example of the cream-of-the-crop ensembles Carlos is also renowned for - bringing us the best players from around the world to back him up on his "journey through the hits". His mighty rhythm section is composed of percussionists Karl Perazzo and Raul Rekow, and is headed up by legendary drummer Dennis Chambers. On horns he has Bill Ortiz [trumpet] and Jeff Cressman [trombone], Freddie Ravel on keyboards [Hammond B3 and piano], Tommy Anthony on guitars and vocals, lead vocalists Andy Vargas and Tony Lindsay out front, and last but not least Benny Rietveld on bass guitar. Tight, true to the music, and a "Supernatural" fit for Carlos' vast library of music.
Production for the show is also top-notch and absolutely breathtaking - from the vivid arrays of colored lighting to the enormous video screens; beautiful imagery augments every song dazzling your senses as Carlos and his band lead you through a career lined with radio hits and platinum gems.
The man himself still brings an energy to the music that is infectious and the audience pulses with it through every tune as Carlos' guitar slices crisply through the air. If you get a chance to see this tour in your area, or even close to your area, call all your friends and get your tickets, get them early as they won't last long - Carlos Santana's "Supernatural" tour is truly a memorable event for everyone!
