RIP Jorge Santana (Carlos' brother)

[matonanjin]

It probably doesn't need to be repeated that I am a huge Carlos Santana fan.  It is largely because of him that I am here in this forum and trying to learn guitar.

What many not know is Carlos' brother was a very talented guitarist in his own right.  But many of you may remember him from the band Malo.  Or at least you remember some of the band's songs. 

And I remember several occasions of Jorge on stage with Carlos, the most notable being Santana's South American Tour.  Beyond that I've always wondered about Carlos and Jorge's relationship.  I don't recall Carlos addressing it much in his autobiography.

Being Carlos' brother or not, Jorge was a great guitarist and his passing should be acknowledged.

Guitarist Jorge Santana, brother of Carlos, dies at 68.

R.I.P. Jorge.

Being from California and growing up 3 hours north of San Francisco, I was a big fan of Carlos and Jorge Santana. Carlos obviously made the big stage, but Jorge stayed in the Bay area with his band and stayed true to his Latin Roots music. I never met him, but got to hear him play.  Way to young to leave us!
