About the Voices of Latin Rock - This band represents the artists, musicians, and
seasoned players who were responsible for creating this sound known today as Latin
Rock! Hand picked and selected from the best of the best, they not only were at the
roots of this sound, but also are the players who have been representing this sound
throughout the world for over four decades. In the 1970s, Santana and Malo roared
out of San FranciscoEUR(tm)s Mission District barrio with a hot new sound, combining
burning acid guitar wedded to a base of boiling Latin percussion. Their recordings
are hailed as pioneering classics of the new sound known as EURLatin rockEUR(tm). Santana
spearheaded a cultural wave, which represented a totally new art form known as Latin
Rock. At one stage Santana were the biggest selling act in the world, outselling
even The Beatles. Other Mission based acts such as Malo, Azteca, Dakila, Sapo and
Abel & the Prophets also emerged out of that first wave. It was this same talent
pool, which fed the ranks of Sly & The Family Stone, Graham Central Station, Tower
of Power, Cold Blood and many others. The roster of the band includes members who
have played with, or currently play with, bands like Malo, Santana, Sapo, Abel & the
Prophets, Azteca, and countless others. Their flexibility and capability allows this
band to bring shows featuring many star players and guests from other world known
acts. In recent shows the Voices of Latin Rock have featured guest appearances by
members of other famous bands such as Marcos Reyes from War, Lydia Pense from Cold
Blood, Fred Sanchez & Bobby Espinosa from El Chicano, Lenny Williams and Mic Gillete
from Tower of Power, Booker T from the MGs, Jackie Greene, Greg Errico from Sly &
the Family Stone and the list goes on. Get the picture?!!
