“It’s all about locking yourself into the heartbeat of the music and surrendering to it totally" says Galo Rivera, lead guitar player and founder of his Santana Tribute Band. Galo also believes it's all about positive energy and asks his audience to dance rejoice and celebrate life and love. Galo does an incredible job of recreating the signature Santana licks on the electric guitar, while the band backs him with their pulsing latin rhythms and percussion.
