Release: Free Concert Features Music of Santana

Taboo performs the music of the Latin classic rock guitar ace.

The Union County Summer Arts Festival 2010 concert series continues on Wednesday, July 21, with a performance by Taboo at Echo Lake Park. 

Taboo is inspired by the incredible intensity of Carlos Santana and his music. All the members of Taboo share a passion for recreating the electrifying sound of Santana's greatest hits. Whether performing at street fairs or popular music venues throughout the Tri-State area, Taboo delivers the magic Santana sound with authenticity. It's all there: the propulsive Latin percussion, the fiery lead guitar, the "groove" that connects to the soul of the audience. Taboo's set list is full of old favorites as well as Santana's hits from the Grammy Award-winning album, "Supernatural."

"Bring the entire family for an evening of spirited music in Echo Lake Park," said Freeholder Chairman Sullivan. "Pack a picnic basket, bring lawn chairs or blankets to sit on, and enjoy the sounds of Santana under the stars."
