MUSIC

Keyboardist and composer Salvador Santana’s vibrant music mixes hip-hop, jazz, rock, Latin and other world idioms into a uniquely individual and totally contemporary style. His band, includes Jared Meeker on guitar/vocals, Blake Collie on drums, Itai Shapira on bass, and new vocalist/keyboardist Alex Nester. Collaboration has always been the centerpiece of his creations. Santana just released a new single, "MiTesoro", which will be featured in the show, along with selections from his solo debut, "Keyboard City," and previous works.

Music truly thrives in Salvador Santana's veins. His maternal grandfather was blues pioneer Saunders King and his paternal grandfather was the internationally celebrated violinist and mariachi bandleader Jose Santana. And, of course, his father is ten-time Grammy-winning Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Carlos Santana, who’s also a frequent collaborator--Salvador co-wrote "El Farol" from 1999’s smash album Supernatural. And with this current tour, Salvador Santana has truly become a brand of his own.

Sammy "Scribe" Totah has been rapping on stage with Grammy Award winning performer Carlos Santana and his son Salvador since he was still in high school. As lead MC for the Salvador Santana Band, he has toured and performed extensively. Sammy began his journey as a classical musician studying at the prestigious San Francisco School of the Arts High School, where he excelled at learning three brass instruments. Being an MC and a songwriter for The Scribe Project has given Sammy the opportunity to create music that represents his soul and spirit.
