SSB released their debut album in February 2010, KEYBOARD CITY.
Keyboardist front man Salvador Santana brings us neo-funk, with hip hop beats and clever electric synth driven with a Latin flavor that is a new blend, new sound reinvented for now on this album.
The band uses exotic instrumentation, and funky afro beats, with the spoken word.
It can be a little Herbie Hancock, and futurist at the same time. It infuses jazz, hip hop and shrink into a sonic vibe with richly textured grooves. This good might be the voice of tomorrow. Salvador cites as his mentorsBob Marley, Thelonius Monk, Jimi Hendrix, John Coltrane and Miles Davis to name a few.
Salvador Santana, son of the 10 time Grammy winner Carlos Santana, prefers the keyboards to the guitar of his father, although he started out on the drums. When he was 6 yrs. old and taking piano lessons, he knew this was his tool and he has invented his own vibrant sound on the keys.
He wants to use music is a confident way says Salvador "I wish to pay support to mass in need; there are not enough mass to do that". Very much like his parents who naturalized the Milargo Foundation that was created for underprivileged children, by the Santana Family.
He has collaborated with his Dad, Carlos on the song "El Farol" from Santana`s 1999 Grammy winning album SUPERNATUAL, and has toured with Santana as a member of the band, but likewise as the opening act for Carlos Santana, as easily as Los Lonely Boys and others.
The Keyboard City Album, is only a startof what will likely be a great career for this inventive musician, you are certain to get a favourite among the tracks of masterful music. Keep him on your radar as he matures in his art form.
