Inspired by the
incredible intensity of his music, the members of Abraxas
share a passion for recreating the electrifying sounds of
Carlos Santana. Audiences, without exception, have been awed
by the authentic Santana sound that Abraxas delivers during
their stunning shows.
In
1969 Carlos Santana burst onto the music scene with a
searing performance at Woodstock. This innovative
combination of electric blues-rock guitar and Afro-Cuban
rhythms fills the music with heart, soul and a burning
sensuality that’s never been duplicated to this day.
40 years and 40+ albums later, Santana is still a
powerful and inspirational musical
force.
With Abraxas, it's all there: the propulsive Latin
percussion, the fiery lead guitar work, the “groove”
that connects to the soul of the audience. Our play list
is full of old favorites, as well as recent hits
from “Supernatural”, "All That I Am" and
"Ultimate Santana".
Widely
recognized
as America's #1 Santana Tribute Band, Abraxas was chosen to perform as Santana at the Dec.
2007 concert "Woodstock Revisited" in Buffalo, NY.,
performing along with other world class tribute bands,
and is a mainstay at Woodstock Festivals across the
nation.
Comprised
of a group of seven world class musicians that have
performed in the US, Canada, Mexico, Australia, New
Zealand, Russia, Finland, Japan, Puerto Rico, St.
Thomas, Taiwan, The Cayman Islands, Panama, Jamaica and
more, Abraxas recreates the Santana experience in
exquisite detail.
This
hand-picked group of musicians immerse
themselves in the awesome task of replicating Santana's
music. They do this with stunning accuracy, spirit and
soul. The members of Abraxas have recorded and toured
with many different world class acts, and it shows when
they perform their tribute to Santana. Abraxas
understands the intricacies and variety of Santana's
Latin rhythms, from the Cha Cha of "Oye Como Va",
the soulful Latin Funk of "É Papa Ré" to the
Son Montuno of "Corazón Espinado". No other Santana
tribute band plays them as authentically as does Abraxas.

Abraxas
(based in Salt Lake City) is America's #1 Santana tribute
band. There are other Santana tribute bands out there that
call themselves "Abraxas". If you'll look at their
websites (usually a 'free' MySpace.com website), and listen to
their videos/sound bytes you'll realize why WE are the #1
Santana tribute band in America. Also note that our website is
a top level domain, hosted without tons of advertisements to
distract you and take you to other websites. We can afford our
own domain name, web hosting and web development accounts
without relying on the "free" MySpace sites like the
wannabe bands using our name. Do not be fooled into hiring
"Abraxas" without hiring the original Abraxas from Salt
Lake City. You will be greatly disappointed. Our references
available upon request.
