Letters from Fans

Thanks Toby & Maddie

Jose,

We met you and your band last night in Biloxi and were totally blown away by your performance. It literally took us back in time to those days when it all started. You guys made it sound better than Carlos ever did! It brought tears to our eyes more than once and we haven't stopped talking about it since. Already looking at your schedule to find a way to hook up for more.  It was, without a doubt, the best tribute band we have ever seen! We could tell that y'all were having so much fun up there too. What a trip down memory lane for us. You made us feel so young again. Wow!!

Let us know you got this, because this is the only place I could fine to write y'all and it would mean a lot to know you received it.

We are Feeling Blessed !

Jose Madrigal, The Ultimate Carlos Santana Experience, is a full-blown production that pays tribute to an artist and band that has transcended six decades of chart-topping success and one of the largest die-hard fan bases in the world.  With such a tough act to follow, Madrigal has pulled out all the stops.  Their sincere devotion to replicating the musicianship, look, sound and full Santana concert experience, is filling venues and rocking people’s socks off!  Madrigal’s attention to that signature blend of Latin-infused rock, jazz, blues, salsa, and African rhythms routinely draws large audiences.  Renowned guitarist Jose Madrigal, is often mistaken for Carlos himself, and the experience doesn’t stop there.  With over a half dozen talented musicians and vocalists, every show provides a high energy live music and visual experience like no other!

Blown away in Biloxi

I'm 67 and a long time worshiper of Carlos Santana and had already faced that I would probably never hear them again in my lifetime. They were my baby's favorite band in her young days as well. To my surprise, we received tickets to go see a Santana tribute band in Biloxi, Ms. We didn't get our hopes up for them to be any great deal, as we have seen numerous tribute bands in the past with less than great outcomes. Well, let me tell you.... We were totally blown away by a performance from Jose Madrigal and his band. They walked around shaking hands in the crowd before the show which showed us a personal touch you don't often see. These guys and gal put on a show that far surpassed anything I have ever heard Carlos do!! They cranked it up to full speed and let it out in style!! They never missed a beat and all the band members were enjoying what they were doing so much, and it showed!! Everyone there have talents you will only believe once you have seen it!! It took us back in time, back to the days of Woodstock and beyond. It actually brought tears to our eyes more than once. Jose looks almost exactly like Carlos. It was wild, the trip they took us on last night. We have already been looking at their schedules to try and hook up for more. You will NOT be disappointed and that's a guarantee!!
