CARNAVAL! Brings the Spirit of Santana to Winters Live
Friday, July 18, 2025 | 7:30 PM – 9:30 PM | Winters Opera House
WINTERS, CA – Winters Live continues its 2025 music series with a powerful celebration of Latin rock as CARNAVAL! – A Tribute to the Music of Santana takes the stage on Friday, July 18, 2025, at the historic Winters Opera House.
Hailing from San Francisco’s Mission District—the very birthplace of the legendary Santana—CARNAVAL! brings together some of the Bay Area’s top musicians to recreate the music, energy, and soul of one of rock’s most influential acts. This rebranded tribute band is a group of seasoned performers who have spent decades perfecting their craft, delivering a sound that’s both technically masterful and emotionally charged.
Fans will experience a vibrant journey through Santana’s greatest hits—from early classics like “Black Magic Woman” and “Oye Como Va” to crowd favorites like “Smooth” and “Maria Maria.” Every note is performed with the same instrumentation, rhythm, and fiery passion that defined Santana’s signature style.
“This is perhaps one of the best, if not the best Santana Tribute Band in the San Francisco Bay Area.”
— Raul Rekow (RIP), former Santana band member (1976–2013)
