The music of one of the greatest guitarists of all time is set to be celebrated in Malvern.

Oye Santana, a tribute to the music of Carlos Santana, is described as "more a party than a concert".

Born and raised in Mexico, Santana rose to prominence in the late 1960s and early 1970s in the United States with his band Santana, which showcased a fusion of rock and roll and Latin American jazz.

The band's sound is renowned for its melodic, blues-based lines set against Latin American and African rhythms played on unconventional percussion instruments like timbales and congas.

In 2015, Santana was ranked 20thth on Rolling Stone's list of the 100 greatest guitarists, while in 2023 the magazine named him the 11th best player of the instrument of all time.

He has won 10 Grammy Awards and three Latin Grammy Awards, and was inducted along with his band Santana into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1998.

On July 12, Oye Santana will perform at the Forum Theatre, with a show that promises to be more party than concert
