David Santana
Jazz Guitarist | Composer
Meet David Santana, a soulful storyteller through the language of jazz. Deeply rooted in a genuine love, authenticity and passion for this art form, Santana creates an intimate and authentic experience for audiences that transcends the boundaries of time.
His music isn't a performance; it's a conversation, a shared moment where the language of jazz becomes a universal expression of love and connection. For jazz lovers young and old, David Santana's artistry, becomes an embodiment of the profound ability that music has, to connect and resonate with the deepest parts of our being.
Artist Statement:
For me playing music, at its best, becomes an act of reverence—an honouring to the cosmic symphony of nature. It's a prayer, an offering, an ecstatic surrender to the divine. When shared among many, it serves as a unifying force, weaving the tapestry of our hearts and reminding us of the universal threads that bind us.
With every performance, I aim to bridge the gaps, transcending individuality to create a collective experience. It's a celebration of unity, an invitation to embrace our shared humanity. Through music, we rekindle connections and reawaken the echoes of our common essence, nurturing a sense of togetherness amidst the vastness of existence. When this is accomplished music is indeed medicine.
