Washington DC — Who knew Antonio Bandaras had the great chops to do a vocal duet with Carlos Santana? Their tasteful contribution was easily the most sophisticated and highest quality musical performance of the evening.
What more can be said about Santana — The sole high profile lead guitarist survivor of the ’60’s San Fran scene? (Bob Weir of the Grateful Dead must also be mentioned but is technically a rythym ace). Santana’s graceful guitar lines worked wonderfully with with Bandaras’s incredibly well done spanish crooning.
The tepid applause from the Hollywood crowd was disappointing. Beautiful, enjoyable music for those of us who could care less about who wins what.
