Spirit of Santana - Die ultimative Carlos Santana Illusion!
Already at the beginning of 1999 – many months before the then Santana success with the album "Supernatural" – seven musicians from Flensburg formed a band to play the music of Carlos Santana and carry its spirit into the world. This was followed by numerous club gigs sold out in no time and celebrated performances at countless city festivals and crowded open-air events, where huge crowds in front of the stage sometimes caused traffic chaos!
Soon the Allstars took their Flensburg home through the federal territory, for example to Westphalia, Berlin, Brandenburg, and even to the Ore Mountains, with legendary concerts alongside headliners such as "Status Quo," the "Animals," the "Weather Girls" and many other internationally renowned artists.
The "SoS drum wall," consisting of drummer "Mollo" Lorenzen at the center, flanked by percussionist "El Timbal" Ralph Schmedeke on the timbales & Co. and Janne Thomassen as "Enciclopedia de percusión" on the congas, drives the band forward like a machine without pause. Together with groove machine Gerhard "Ali" Albrecht – a true powerhouse on bass, "Gentleman" Michael Schmidt with his authentically elegant keyboard passages, singer Frank Rühmann with his charmingly powerful frontman energy, and finally guitarist Bent Wolff with his unmistakable guitar playing, the band ignites a true musical fireworks from the very first minute that is unmatched!
Classics like "Black Magic Woman," "Oye Como Va," "Samba Pa Ti," or "Europa," "Maria Maria," and "Corazon Espinado," as well as the 3-time Grammy award-winning worldwide hit "Smooth" are presented by this formation of internationally experienced musicians with great energy, so that no one can stay still for long!
This gives a glimpse of what visitors can expect at a Spirit of Santana gig: an electrifying Latin rock-pop evening of the highest musical level with a top-rehearsed band, plenty of fun, and a guitarist who only falls short of the original in hairstyle!
After the spectacular comeback in October 2019 with two concerts already sold out weeks in advance, accompanied by incredible cheers and unbelievable energy for the 20th anniversary, the "Flensburg Allstars" are back on stage and are sure to leave an enthusiastic audience behind! The band looks forward to seeing you!
From the seats, the view of the stage is partially restricted as there is also a dance floor in front of the stage.
The concert will take place regardless of the weather in the cultural barn.
Our team and event chef Manfred Weinmann are happy to take care of your physical well-being!
