Joe Cruz Presents Sounds of Santana Next Thursday in Stillwater Image

Over the past half-century, the group Santana has been one of the biggest forces in North America to combine Latin music and pop. After studying the music of Santana, a Twin Cities guy named Joe Cruz formed his own group, Sounds of Santana. The group performs Santana music, and actually builds on it, at shows like the one at 8pm next Thursday, February 22 at the Freight House in Stillwater. In a conversation with Phil Nusbaum, Joe first talked about getting hooked on Santana music.
