The only thing outliving Carlos Santana's illustrious
30-year career is the swarm of tribute bands that have materialized in his
Grammy-filled wake. There's no doubting the impact Santana's first few albums
had on rock & roll,
but who would have guessed that at least a dozen cover bands would earn their
pay playing his hits on the bar circuit? Indeed, even if they're not the
real thing, Caravanserai certainly stands at the top of the Santana tribute
list, meticulously re-enacting a wide repertoire of Santana material that
includes the well-known stuff as well as more obscure B-sides that never
made the charts. Leo Herrera does the honors on guitar, while a full band
including horn section completes the Latin rock sound we've come to know
and love.
