Carlos Santana’s son readies solo debut album

Music is a burst of choices. Not only what note to play when and with what instrument, but whether to play a note at all.

Salvador Santana, the 26-year-old keyboardist, vocalist, composer, and songwriter with strong Bay Area roots, knows what it means to navigate the infinite options of music. His 2008 project with the Salvador Santana Band – simply called SSB – pursued the scope of his ability. But for Santana, it wasn’t enough. He has no choice but to push himself further.

Watch video – Salvador Santana in the studio with GZA:

Collaboration has always been the centerpiece of his creations, and this passion manifested his solo debut ‘Keyboard City’ around the inspirations of a few legends: Bay Area MC/producer Del the Funky Homosapien who helped hone in Santana’s writing skills, Beastie Boy studio wizard Money Mark, and GZA of the Wu-Tang Clan.
