Salvador sings and loves spoken word, but piano and keyboard have always been his mainstays. He is the son of ten-time Grammy
winning guitarist Carlos Santana and poet/author Deborah Santana.
His maternal grandfather, Saunders King , is an icon of American blues and his paternal grandfather, Jose Santana, is a legendary violinist and mariachi bandleader. Though he incorporates all these threads into his own music, the result is simply a part of the tapestry. In fact, his sound owes more to the modern genres of hip-hop and rap than to Latin or blues styles. Incorporating his baritone voice on lead, band "gang" vocals, and funky rap, Salvador mixes it all into a laid-back, almost trance-like groove that is deceptively simple, but nonetheless compelling.
Scribe has been rapping on stage with Grammy Award winning performer Carlos Santana, and his son Salvador, since he was still in high school. As lead MC for the Salvador Santana Band, he toured and performed throughout Europe, Canada and The United States. Sammy has opened for acts such as Santana, Los Lonely Boys, Ozomatli and The Robert Randolph Band. Scribe has also recorded with Carlos Santana on the benefit CD “Food for Thought” (released all over the United States) and the Santana DVD “Hymns for Peace” (released world wide). Scribe, who began his journey as a classical and jazz musician, developed an eclectic taste in music that is so much a part of his current band. As an MC and a songwriter Sammy has the opportunity to write and record with Carlos Santana, Salvador Santana and Los Mocosos. The Scribe project has given me the opportunity to create music that represents my soul and spirit. This six-piece band embodies a global experience, showing off hip hop/funk/rock and soul like you have never seen before. Ft. on the Track "Open your Eyes" with Carlos Santana
