Wednesday nights at the Festival of Arts are the perfect way to recharge with great music and good vibes! Performer: “Savor” – A Tribute to Santana Savor was formed to honor the more than 50-year career of Latin-rock legend Carlos Santana — from the raw power of the self-titled album issued in 1969 to the recent spate of hits with current stars that makes Santana’s music so well-loved. The diverse background of Savor’s rhythm section meshes perfectly when they play as a unit, which is why the complex interweaving of classic Latin rhythms are so adroitly handled by this trio. Drummer Sergio Gonzalez‘s subtle, relentless groove meshes perfectly with the percussion team of Lorenzo Martinez (Congas, Bongos) and Chico Hernandez (Congas, Timbales). Complementing the rhythm section is bassist Rick Thibodeau, whose soulful flavor rounds out the famous Santana groove, while the impressive range and power of vocalists Steven Elowe and Javany Martinez add fuel to the fire. Keyboardist David Jefferson captures the sound of each of the decades, from the bluesy organ style of Gregg Rolie to the later, jazzier flavor of Tom Coster and Chester Thompson. Guitarist Michael Caroff delivers every trademark Santana lick, as well as the gritty tone and singing sustain that make the songs so memorable. Together, Savor pays fitting tribute to the popular, timeless sound that makes Santana’s music so well-loved. Connect with Savor Reserve a Seat!
