This is a Santana Band tribute that will take place at Club Fox, 2209 Broadway St. Redwood City, California.
Now in it’s 15th year, Caravanserai has established itself as the most widely known Santana Tribute band in the country. This is the group the San Jose Metro declared “The Top Santana Tribute” and the San Francisco Examiner called “The Country’s Pre-eminent Santana Tribute Band”.
Originally a replication of Rock and Roll Hall of Fame band Santana’s legendary early days, Caravanserai has grown to include material from all eras of Santana’s 30-year history. Painstaking care has been taken in the recreation of early and new music performed by this band of journeymen from the San Francisco Bay Area.
All the instrumentation used by Santana over the years are here, with some of the best musicians in the Bay Area.
Ruckatan Latin Tribe is composed of seven players who have all contributed to the local Latin Rock scene in the Bay Area and internationally with various Latin, Reggae and Rock acts. Ruckatan is a fusion of Latin and Reggae.
On Saturday Nov. 3, at 8 p.m. Tickets: $12 adv. / $15 door. For info call at 650.369.7770 or Latin Rock Inc.
