years. Juan traveled with his orchestra

with Santana. Influenced heavily by Fusion
and Soul music, his long-running band continues
to reach an adoring crossover audience.

areas of music, from Latin jazz and salsa
to rock and Latin pop. Pete has performed
in a countless number of settings including
with such notables as Herbie Hancock, Woody
Herman, Cal Tjader, Tito Puente among many
others. He started using his daughter, Sheila
E. in the mid 1970's when she was still
a teenager; they first recorded together
in 1976 with Billy Cobham and have worked
together many times since.
