The Story
Viva Carlos! "A Supernatural Marathon Celebration" brings together incredible and influential guitarists Eric Johnson, Robben Ford, Eric Gales, Frank Gambale, Albert Lee, Pat Martino, Vinnie Moore, Mike Stern, Coco Montoya and Jeff Richman, each paying tribute to rock guitar icon Carlos Santana, a pioneer of Latin-influenced rock music.
