Original Latin hard rockers Malo reunited with their original leader Jorge Santana, brother of rock icon Carlos Santana. Malo's classic rock rhythms combined with Jorge's fluent guitar work create a truly unique and always rockin' sound.

In the book, Voices of Latin Rock: The People and Events that Created This Sound, by Jim McCarthy great credit has been given to Jorge Santana. This book was published at the end of 2004 and on 1/2/05 Jorge sent a copy to Mark Sonder with the inscription, "To Mark, Peace & Gratitude, your friend Jorge Santana." McCarthy writes about Jorge: "Carlos's younger brother; lead guitarist with Malo. Brought a burning, intense guitar style to the young band. Also played and recorded with Fania All-Stars. Released two solo albums plus Brothers album with Carlos Santana and his nephew Roberto Hernandez."

Jorge Santana can perform with his own band or with the band MALO - a 10-piece group with a versatile sound - are the original bad-boy Latin rockers. Like Carlos, they are from the Bay Area and utilize a wide variety of influences in their music. They have four gold records (their first album climbed to #2 on the charts for the month of November 1972) and their hits include "Nena" and the unforgettable "Suavecito".
