Part of Santana

Cindy Blackman Santana…

What can I say about her?

I knew from a tabloid magazine that she is currently married to Carlos Santana… the best guitar player of all time. Not sure of what to expect and even though I’m at the Vertical Campus everyday, I had never been to the Performing Arts Center or even remotely had an inclination to take that elevator.

I don’t know. I’ve never been too much of a fan of drums. Meh. I know how prejudiced of me to hate the basis of music. Haha.

But as soon as she started playing, there was an energy that came about. She completely broke the stereotype. She wasn’t sitting there just banging on the drums, instead, it seemed like she was connected to it.

At times it seemed that she overtook the other people on stage. But in a sense that added to the  complexity of the performance. Santana, clearly hasn’t gained fame because of her famous husband.
