Our frontman was born in Mexico City. At the age of 13 he was inspired by the music of the British Invasion. He ultimately became a self-taught guitarist, forming his first Rock & Roll band that same year. His talent was recognized by a junior high school music teacher who requested that he lead the guitar ensemble of the all-string instruments band known in Mexico as “Estudiantina”. They recorded local traditional songs at the ORFEON Records Studio. He went on to study at ESCUELA LIBRE DE MUSICA and joined a friend, a multi-talented musician, to establish several bands together, playing Rock and Top 40 music throughout central Mexico. In the late ‘70s, Our frontman emigrated from Mexico to the United States to expand his musical opportunities. Starting in Austin, Texas, he was soon invited to Dallas to record original Tex-Mex music. Our frontman continued playing with several Rock Bands in Texas while working as a guitar instructor for The Music House of Richardson. He later moved to San Diego, California and continued as a lead guitarist for New Wave, Blues, Classic Rock, Jazz Fusion, and Tribute Bands. Friends and fans repeatedly commented on Our frontman’s uncanny similarities to the great Carlos Santana in appearance, playing style and sound, helping make this the TRUE Carlos Santana Tribute Show. That inspired him to start a Santana Tribute Band. With the help from these talented musicians, “Santanaways” was born in October of 2012. Within a month they had their first public appearance at a local fundraiser. Their shows have captivated audiences with each performance ever since. The caliber of the assembled musicians along with their precise interpretations of the music makes this the #1 Carlos Santana Tribute Show in the U.S. today!
