Pete Escovedo toured internationally with the legendary guitarist, Carlos Santana, for five years and performed on three Santana albums: Moonflower, Oneness, and Inner Secrets. Mr. Escovedo left Santana to follow in the musical footsteps of his mentor, the late Great Tito Puente who influenced his music and decision to form his own orchestra consisting of a five-person horn section with strong rhythm and percussion personnel.
SF/Arts Curator Insight
After close to 70 years making music and touring with Latin music masters like Tito Puente, Mongo Santamaria, Arturo Sandoval and Carlos Santana, as with his two sons and daughter Sheila E., the great percussionist and East Bay native Pete Escovedo is laying down his drumsticks after a three-night run at Yoshi's, culminating in a show that will ring in the New Year and mark the end of his long and legendary career.
