Music Icon Carlos Santana and son Salvador Santana to Perform National Anthem at Game 4 of World Series

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 24, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Ten time GRAMMY®-Award and Three time Latin GRAMMY®-Award winning rock icon and Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Carlos Santana and his GRAMMY®-Award winning son Salvador Santana will perform an instrumental version of the National Anthem at the San Francisco Giants vs. Kansas City Royals Game 4 of the Major League Baseball's World Series on Saturday, October 25 at San Francisco's AT&T Park.

The performance precedes the launch of Carlos Santana's memoir "The Universal Tone: Bringing My Story to Light" on November 4 and his return on November 5 to House of Blues Las Vegas at Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino to continue his multi-year residency of An Intimate Evening with Santana: Greatest Hits Live.

Santana is currently nominated for two Latin GRAMMYs for his first-ever Latin album Corazon (RCA/Sony Latin Iberia) featuring superstar collaborative performances by Latin Music's finest. The album is certified U.S. Latin Double Platinum and was the top selling Latin Music album in the United States for six consecutive weeks.

About SANTANA: For forty years and as many albums later, Santana has sold more than 100 million records and reached more than 100 million fans at concerts worldwide. To date, Santana has won ten GRAMMY( ®) Awards and three Latin GRAMMY( ®) Awards. He won a record-tying nine GRAMMYs for a single project for 1999's Supernatural (including Album of the Year and Record of the Year for "Smooth") as well as three Latin GRAMMYs. He has also received the Billboard Century Award (1996), was ushered into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (1998), received the Billboard Latin Music Awards' Lifetime Achievement honor (2009), and was the recipient of the Kennedy Center Honors Award (2013). Among many other honors, Carlos Santana has been cited by Rolling Stone as #15 on their list of the "100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time." And, with the 2014 release of Corazon, Santana surpassed the Rolling Stones and, along with Barbara Streisand, is one of only two music acts in Billboard history to score at least one Top Ten album for six consecutive decades from the 1960s on. Earlier this year, Santana released his first ever Latin Music album entitled Corazon on RCA/Sony Latin Iberia, featuring superstar collaborative performances by Latin Music's finest. The album is certified U.S. Latin Double Platinum and was the top selling Latin Music album in the United States for six consecutive weeks. Santana is currently headlining a multi-year residency at House of Blues at Mandalay Bay Resort in Las Vegas. This fall, Carlos Santana will release his memoir "The Universal Tone: Bringing My Story to Light." It's a profoundly inspiring tale of spiritual commitment and musical fearlessness that does not balk at finding the humor in the world of high-flying fame, nor at speaking plainly of Santana's personal revelations, and the divine and infinite possibility he sees in each person he meets.

Salvador Santana has lived with a vast vocabulary of musical genres since he was very young. The 31-year-old keyboardist, vocalist, composer, and songwriter began playing the drums at the age of three. His true love, however, was discovered when he began taking piano lessons at six years old. At the age of 16 he co-wrote the Grammy-winning "El Farol" from the 1999 smash album Supernatural. On his solo CD, Keyboard City (released in February 2010), Salvador collaborated with an eclectic mix of artists including Bay Area MC/producer Del the Funky Homosapien and Producer Money Mark. In 2013 Salvador released Rise Up, a six song EP. Songs "Mi Tesoro," "Into The Light," and "Rise Up" have a power and breadth of sound. "Ain't Enough" "It's On" and "Gimme Your Best" round out the EP with upbeat tempos. For the keyboardist, making music is never about personal glory, but about lifting people up with humility, love, and positivity on a daily basis.
