LA VENTANA BAND

Quote after "Voices of Latin Rock Performance at Bimbo's, "La Ventana is the Best Latin Rock/Pop Band in the Bay" - Senior Music Critic San Francisco Chronicle

"La Ventana is crossing cultures on its way up". - Pleasanton Times A&E

"Steeped in the Latin rhythms of bands like Santana and the Gypsy Kings and a touch of Tower of Power. La Ventana is lighting up stages across the SF Bay with their high energy full sound the call "Salsa Rawk". Quite refreshing" - Contra Costa Times/Tammy Hansen

I'll be blunt, Latin Rock (Pop) doesn't get any better than La Ventana. Originating from the arts waterfall and cultural explosion of San Francisco, La Ventana cruise to a Spanish-flavored mix of pop, rock, salsa and soul..

On the surface level, they might remind some of Santana, whose influence can definitely be felt here, however, La Ventana have their own colorful vision, one that is loaded with instruments Every track here percolates with a big arena sound. Having a eight-member line-up can certainly boost a group's power, but nobody overshadows the other

Somehow with everything going on La Ventana are able to stay focused, letting each musician push the beat forward instead of dragging it into another direction. The blend together flawlessly, raising the spirits with a spectacular party atmosphere. - Whisperin & Hollerin www.feeldesign.com.uk
