About Pete Escovedo
Pete Escovedo has been a major force in Latin music for more than half-a-century. A composer, master percussionist, multi-instrumentalist, vocalist, and bandleader, his versatility has resulted in success in Latin jazz and salsa, rock, funk, and Latin pop. He began his recording career with M***o Santamaria in 1960, and gained renown as a percussionist with Santana in the late 1960s. Pete, with brothers Coke and Phil, formed the Latin jazz fusion outfit Azteca, who issued two seminal albums for Columbia during the early 1970s. He released his leader debut, The Island, in 1982, and Latina Familia, with daughter Sheila E. and Tito Puente, in 1987. During the '90s he issued seminal Latin jazz titles including Flying South (1995) and E Street (1997). He recorded the universally acclaimed Back to the Bay in 2018, followed in 2021 by Rhythm of the Night.
