Oye Como Va: Tony Lindsay and Carlos Santana.
By Natalie Holbrook | April 21st, 2011
For two years, Carlos Santana has been the natural figurehead of his rock ’n’ roll residency at the Hard Rock Hotel, Supernatural Santana: A Trip Through the Hits. But Tony Lindsay, one of the show’s two lead vocalists, is just as much a star. His high-energy vocals and dance moves act as a balanced counterpoint to the mellow guitarist, who often retreats to the corner while he plays. For 21 years, this partnership has worked—it’s even resulted in 11 Grammys for Lindsay. In addition to touring and other projects, the vocalist worked on Santana’s most successful album, Supernatural. Now that the Trip Through the Hits has almost reached its May 1 finish line, Vegas Seven snagged a chance to find out more about the Bay Area-based singer.
