| | Gregg Rolie (the Original Voice of Santana) Bio - Mars Talent |
 | | Rolie calls ROOTS’ 12 original selections "Latin rock plus
the instrumentation is Latin percussion, with organ, guitar, horns, and lots of great solo work and songwriting", adding that "I really wanted to go all the way back to my Santana roots". |
 | | During the ‘80’s Rolie played, wrote and produced on the Santana albums Shango and Freedom, and released his debut, self-titled 1985 solo album and its 1987 follow-up Gringo, before co-founding the all-new Journey-esque rock group The Storm at the tail end of the decade. |
 | | That same year, Rolie, along with 5 other original Santana members, formed Abraxas Pool, a spirited collaboration that resulted in a 1997 critically acclaimed album of the same name. |
