Raul Rekow

Raul Rekow has played congas with Santana since 1976, participating in the groundbreaking melding of Latin, rock and funk styles that characterizes the bands history. For over 20 years Raul has added his pulsating and colorful rhythms to the Santana sound that has captivated audiences on five continents.

Raul learned about Cuban percussion from fellow Santana veterans Armando Peraza and Orestes Vilato. He passes on that knowledge at LP sponsored clinics with fellow Santana percussionist Karl Perazzo. The two did an instructional video together for LP® titled From Afro-Cuban to Rock.
