About the Voices of Latin Rock In the 1970s, Santana and Malo roared out of San
Francisco's Mission District barrio with a hot new sound, combining burning acid
guitar wedded to a base of boiling Latin percussion. Their recordings are hailed as
pioneering classics of the new sound known as Latin rock. Santana spearheaded a
cultural wave, which represented a totally new art form known as Latin Rock. At one
stage Santana were the biggest selling act in the world, outselling even The
Beatles. Other Mission based acts such as Malo, Azteca, Dakila, Sapo and Abel & the
Prophets also emerged out of that first wave. It was this same talent pool, which
fed the ranks of Sly & The Family Stone, Graham Central Station, Tower of Power,
Cold Blood and many others.
