Salvador Santana at Anthology in San Diego

Salvador Santana at Anthology San Diego

Salvador Santana began playing the drums at age three-sitting on his father’s lap, controlling the snare and tom, as his father worked the hi-hat and kick drum-but his true love was discovered when he began taking piano lessons when he was six. Later, he studied at San Francisco’s heralded School of the Arts before attending Cal Arts in Valencia, CA. His education, passion and lineage have turned Santana into a monster on the keys.

Music truly thrives in his veins. His maternal grandfather was blues pioneer Saunders King and his paternal grandfather was the internationally celebrated violinist and mariachi bandleader Jose Santana. And, of course, his father is 10X Grammy-winning Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Carlos Santana…who’s also a frequent collaborator (Salvador co-wrote “El Farol” from 1999′s smash album Supernatural).
