Description
For over five decades, Pete Escovedo's skillful timbale playing has guided numerous configurations of his bands in the Bay Area and beyond. Rooted solidly in the tradition of Afro-Caribbean music, Escovedo rose to prominence in the Latin-rock explosion of the late '60s and early '70s. Associated with Santana, Azteca, and other bands mixing rock, funk, and Afro-Cuban rhythms, Escovedo blazed his own path as no mere sideman. The proud father of a musically talented family (pop star/percussionist Sheila E. is his daughter), his sons Peter Michael and Juan Escovedo, also first-rate percussionists, join his orchestra on-stage.
