His father is the legendary rock guitarist <b>Carlos Santana<\/b>, and his uncle Jorge is best known as the leader of the Latin soul band Malo. Also, his paternal grandfather, Jos\u00e9 Santana, was a prominent Mariachi violinist in San Francisco, and his maternal grandfather was the pioneering R&amp;B guitarist Sanders King. <b>Spark<\/b> visits with the next generation of the Santana musical dynasty to talk about stepping out from the shadow of his illustrious musical family as the leader of his own band.<\/p>\n<p>Salvador started playing music at a very young age, quickly picking up percussion and guitar. When his father heard the 6-year-old Salvador playing piano to a Thelonious Monk record, he knew his son was destined for a career in music. Now a young man, Salvador is defining his own style of world music, combining jazz instrumentation with a Latin rhythmic sensibility and hip hop vocals. He and his band made their professional debut opening for his father&#8217;s group on its European tour in the summer of 2004.<\/p>\n<p>For Salvador, sharing his father&#8217;s famous name can be as much a burden as an advantage in the hyper-competitive music industry. Though the Santana name may open record label doors, it also multiplies the pressure on Salvador, who has had to struggle to define himself as a musician in his own right. But Salvador isn&#8217;t worried: As long as he&#8217;s making music, he knows he&#8217;s exactly where he needs to be. <b>Spark<\/b> trails Salvador into the studio, where he&#8217;s been committing his own musical vision to tape, with plans to release a CD. <\/p>\n<p>Salvador Santana has toured with the Salvador Santana Band throughout Eastern and Western Europe and Latin America. In addition to his own CD, he can be heard on his father&#8217;s 2005 release &#8220;All That I Am,&#8221; and on his mother Deborah&#8217;s audiobook, &#8220;Space Between the Stars: My Journey to an Open Heart.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"resource-links\">Resources<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Array<\/li>\n<li>Array<\/li>\n<li>Array<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Meet the next generation in the Santana musical dynasty, as Salvador Santana launches his own band.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8667,"featured_media":1368,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"aside","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[],"coauthors":[18],"series":[],"affiliates":[],"programs":[],"collections":[],"interests":[],"class_list":["post-495","post","type-post","status-publish","format-aside","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-music","post_format-post-format-aside"],"acf":{"template_type":"standard","featured_image_type":"standard","is_audio_post":false},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v20.13 -
