A.L.M.A is proud to announce a local tribute to guitar legend Carlos Santana in celebration of his 61^st birthday.  Carlos Santana has been playing the guitar since he was eight (8) years old.   In the late 1960's, Carlos & his band created a distinctive sound that fused many musical styles including rock, blues and jazz as well as Caribbean and Brazilian musical styles.  Carlos has had a long and illustrious career that began with a break-out performance during Woodstock in 1969 and that culminated in his 1999 release, Supernatural, that won nine Grammy Awards. Carlos continues to perform to this day, is frequently cited as an influence by many legendary guitar players and is beloved the world over.

The line-up for Santana-rama 2008 will include performances by Los Gallos, El Tule, and an All-Star Santana Tribute Band that will feature Edo, Angel Ferrer and Kahlua.

The show will also include video footage of vintage performances by Santana at Woodstock and the Ed Sullivan Show.

"Santana has influenced several generations of guitar players all over the world and has inspired many with his positive message of peace and unity."  said Raul Alvarez, a founding member of ALMA.  "By presenting Santana-rama, ALMA hopes to create a venue by which local musicians can pay tribute to this rock legend and to showcase a wide array of local talent who perform a style of music that is as inspiring, exciting and inventive as the music of the artist to whom this event pays tribute."
