Moonflower: The Spirit of Santana

Moonflower is a tribute to the music of Santana, performed by five musicians whose love for Santana and his music comes first.

Moonflower features Mark Barrios on guitar and vocals, a long-time and well-respected guitarist in the Tampa Bay area. On keys is Brad Trumbull, and on vocals, Manny Betancourt on percussion and vocals, Howard Kleinfeld on bass, and David Nunez on drums.

The intent of Moonflower is to reproduce the sound, the feelings, and the excitement of the great music of Santana!
