Santana (band)
Santana (originally the Santana Blues Band) is a rather quickly changing formation of musicians who accompany Carlos Santana since the late 60’s. Just like Santana himself, the band is known as that one which made the so called latin rock famous in the whole world.
The band was formed 1966 in San Francisco, the first members were Tom Frazier (guitar), Mike Carabello (percussion), Rod Harper (drums), Gus Rodriguez (bass) and Gregg Rolie (keybord, vocal). In the following years and decades the members of the group changed very often, 1971 to 1972 there was a short cooperation break between the group and Santana.
