Sounds of Santana
Seven Member Tribute to Carlos Santana
Guitarist Joe Cruz leads an electrifying 7-piece band playing Carlos Santana’s hits amidst guitar shredding and storytelling about Santana’s life and legacy.
Joe Cruz is authentically passionate, and his playing is a wonder to watch. As a mainstay of the Twin Cities music scene for over four decades, Cruz is applauded for seamlessly blending his Mexican heritage into the performance, bringing an authentic soul to the Latin-rock fusion.
The dynamic Sounds of Santana band is made up of lead electric guitar, electric bass, drums, organ, Latin percussionists and Spanish/English vocal performances.
