We’re delighted that The County Chronicle came along to our recent performance at The Stag Theatre, Sevenoaks. It’s always rewarding when someone understands what Corazon is trying to achieve – not simply recreating Santana’s music, but celebrating its energy, spirit and musicianship.
“This is a band of musical heavyweights and they put on a consumate show. Corazon are one of the most polished acts around. Go and see them next time they play your town.”
It’s heart-warming and encouraging to see the musicianship, professionalism and sheer enjoyment of the band recognised in this way. Above all, we want our shows to be entertaining, uplifting and full of the joy that Santana’s music has always brought to us.
Perhaps most pleasing of all was that reviewer Matt Sofianos understood exactly what Corazon is trying to achieve…
“Corazon are no impersonators. This is not a tribute act cashing in on gimmicks and Smith does not bask in the glory of others. Quite the opposite: he is a messenger and he wants as many people as possible to love the music of Santana just as he does.”
“Messenger” is perhaps a slightly grand description for a group of musicians who simply love Santana’s music and want to share that enthusiasm with others. But if there is a message, it’s simply this: Viva Santana! Long live the music—its spirit, its heart and its soul.
Our sincere thanks to The County Chronicle and Matt Sofianos for coming along and for writing such a thoughtful review. Thanks also to everyone at The Stag Theatre, Sevenoaks, for their warm welcome and fantastic support.
Last, but by no means least, muchas gracias to everyone who joined us on the night and helped make it such a memorable evening celebrating the fabulous music of Santana.
