Grupo los Santos is a NYC-based funky, rootsy, weirdly eclectic jam-band which pulls equally from the traditions of jazz, rock, funk, Afro-Cuban, Afro-Brazilian, and whatever else they come across.
Formed in 1998, Santos currently consist of electric guitar, electric bass, drums, and tap dance/body percussion, often augmented with Afro-Cuban batá drums. They are currently releasing their fourth album, Santos 4.
“Grupo Los Santos’ EP Santos 4 has so much feeling so much soul! It is a voyage, a transforming experience! A juice made with a lot of talent!”
Cyro Baptista (Bandleader, Percussionist with Paul Simon, Herbie Hancock, Yo Yo Ma, Wynton Marsalis…)
“Bravo! Applause! Clap clap clap!! Hurrah!! Wonderful. It sounds so good... So mysterious and beautiful. Smoky and satisfying, like an adventure in your ears. The rhythm is so rewarding.”
Michelle Shocked, Two Time Grammy-Nominated Singer-Songwriter
