Conceived as a fantasy band by Lead Guitarist Leo Herrera and fueled into reality by the enthusiasm
of friends and family members, Caravanserai is a seven year project of love and devotion.
Originally a replication of Rock and Roll Hall of Fame band Santana’s legendary early days,
Caravanserai has grown to include material from all eras of Santana’s 30 year history. From the
1969 hit “Evil Ways” to Monster Hit “Smooth” which is on the current world renowned and 9 time
Grammy winning CD “Supernatural”, Caravanserai performs music to satisfy Santana fans young and
old.
Painstaking care has been taken in the re-creation of the early and new music performed by this band
of journeymen from the San Francisco Bay Area. All the instrumentation used by Santana over the
years is there: Guitar, Keyboards, Bass, Drums, Timbales, and Congas. In some cases the exact kind
of instruments are used, right down to the Hammond B-3 organ used by Keyboardist/Vocalist Steve
Sevilla, and the Paul Reed Smith and Gibson SG guitars used by bandleader Leo Herrera.
Over the past few yeas the Caravanserai experience has grown throughout the West Coast, and the
band has performed at many wonderful venues, including the California State Fair at Cal Expo,
Powerhouse Pub in Folsom, Brookdale Lodge in Brookdale, Harrah’s Lake Tahoe, Harrah’s in Reno,
John Ascuaga’s Nugget in Sparks, Washington County Fair in Hillsboro, Cinco de Mayo Festival
in Reno, San Mateo County Fair in San Mateo, Fiesta de Artes in Los Gatos, Boulder Creek Art
and Wine Festival in Boulder Breek, Tapestry in Talent in San Jose, Concerts in the Park in
Danville, Day on the Glen in Dublin, Summer Concerts in Tracy and Mountain View, and many many more.
Come see Caravanserai perform soon, and experience the magic!
