Correct. Would you be a member of the old Saltana lineup? Or someone who just knew all of us? Or a fan perhaps?

Thanks guys for your replies, I am glad at least someone is talking to me. I do appreciate what you are saying about covering, and I will be one of the first people to advocate playing and creating your own material. I have been plying original material for a number of years now including Idle Youth Athletic and The Pictones. With all that said, I really should apologise for not making myself clear. I have always had a particular passion for plying progressive Latin music and most of all Santana and really was looking for musicians that share that passion especially for Santana music.

Surly there must be some great musicians out there?? Come on guys, I thought there was allot of talent in Aberdeen.

Hi All, About a year a go "Saltana" played their last gig. If you are not familiar with the name, we were one of only 2 Santana tribute bands in the UK and I was the drummer. Now, I am thinking very very seriously of reviving "Saltana" except this time with Fresh faces and Fresh talents. Myself and the most talented Brazilian percussionist in the land will cover the percussion part. So, heres the talent were after: - 2 very accomplished singers that are not frightened of venturing into singing in Spanish (sometimes). - 1 accomplished Bass Player. - 1 accomplished Keyboard Player with reasonably good sounding gear (including Hammond and solid Brass sounds). - 1 EXCELLENT Lead guitarist (and I mean EXCELLENT. After all, you will be plying Santana Solos). Also make sure you can reproduce the very distinctive Santana Guitar sound. - 1 good Trumpet player. - 1 good Trombone player. Please Note: We are after talented and accomplished musicians therefore, if you are not well experienced then please make sure you have enough talent to do the job whatever age you happen to be. My recommendation is to listen to some old and new Santana work and honestly ask yourself if you can cut it. Many thanks Aly
