Successful seven-piece Bucks tribute band Oye Santana will make a triumphant return to High Wycombe at the weekend.

After a year that has seen them take their award-winning tribute to the Latin-flavoured rock of Carlos Santana all over Europe, the band will return to their roots with a special show at the Wycombe Swan Old Town Hall on Saturday, October 25.

Led by Wycombe-born Milan 'Carlos' Webb on guitar, Oye Santana started out in pubs as a four-piece – with Wycombe's Hector Gomez on vocals, Marlow's Gez Kahan on keys and Reading-based Paul 'Murphy' Murphy on percussion – but soon found themselves playing bigger venues.

The band expanded too - it is now seven-strong, augmented by Chesham's Jon Quirk on bass, Pete Lockwood from Farnham on drums and, joining Hector on vocal duties, Wycombe's Auriol Kobani.

The talented artists play a huge range of instruments including congas, percussion, timbales and piano, to name a few.

“While it's like a dream come true to play to thousands at overseas festivals, nothing matters more to us than playing for our home-turf fans,” said Milan.

“They're the ones whose support in our early days got us on to the bigger stages and who always give us a fantastic welcome when we play our local area.”

The show - part of Oye Santana's Woodstock 50th Anniversary tour - features plenty of early Santana big hitters – Black Magic Woman, Evil Ways, Jingo, Samba Pa Ti, Oye Como Va and the showstopping Soul Sacrifice among them – but not at the expense of Santana's later chart-toppers.

As well as a healthy dose of Latin Rock tunes, audiences can expect a lively visual show as the band dedicate themselves to getting viewers on their feet dancing.

Smooth, Maria Maria, Corazon Espinado, Game of Love and She's Not There and a host of other favourites will be played in a high-energy performance.

Oye Santana play the Old Town Hall, High Wycombe, on Saturday, October 25, at 7.30pm. Tickets are available via the box office on 01494 512000 or online at wycombeswan.co.uk/Online/tickets-oye-santana-wycombe-2019.
