Whether he is playing his Latin rock, pop, soul, blues or jazz, one thing has always been said about the music of guitar legend Carlos Santana and his unmistakable sound over the course of his 50-year career - that it is magical!
So it's no wonder that Gerd Schlüter named his band THE MAGIC OF SANTANA in 2010...
For more than 13 years, the Hamburg Santana fan and guitarist has been bringing the music of his idol to international stages. THE MAGIC OF SANTANA are joined by legendary SANTANA singers Alex Ligertwood (1979 to 1994) and 11-time Grammy winner Tony Lindsay (1995 to 2015). Having performed all over Europe, THE MAGIC OF SANTAN is considered the best Santana band in this genre!
With seven professional musicians, who all share a passion for this energetic music, and original members of SANTANA, they play their way through the Mexican guitarist's unique repertoire in their pulsating shows.
Nobody can sit still when THE MAGIC OF SANTANA and three percussionists take the stage with raw Latin rock classics such as "Jingo", "Soul Sacrifice",
"Oye Como Va" or "Evil Ways".
And nobody is left untouched when soulful melodies such as "Somewhere in Heaven", "Black Magic Woman", "Europa" or "Samba Pa Ti" are played. This band impresses with its great joy of playing and gives its all in its performances. Always with their own signature, but without disregarding the original.
Experience a magical evening with THE MAGIC OF SANTANA!
