JINGO – A Musical Tribute to Carlos Santana is a New York area based Latin-Rock tribute band consisting of musicians from around the world creating the rhythmically sensual Afro-Latin-fusion-blues-rock music of Santana. The top flight musicians of JINGO capture all the excitement and energy of this guitar legend and his band, taking you on a Santana anthology journey, playing his best loved songs from 1969 to present day. JINGO draws upon and creates the Latin, rock and jazz influences that separated Santana from the typical rock band.
