Cindy Blackman Santana is about to release a new single called Fun, Party, Splash, and it is produced by the Multi-Grammy winning drummer Narada Michael Walden. The release is on August 25, 2017 and it features Cindy's husband since 2010, Carlos Santana as well. The press statement says she has been "...recording tracks in the studio with the legendary producer Narada Michael Walden," and "...they have been working on new material ever since," which suggests a whole new album is in the process of making.
Just 7 more days to go before the release of Fun, Party, Splash, and we can't wait to hear the vibe these two original drummers have created. Many will know Cindy was Lenny Kravitz' drummer for quite a few years and has recorded and toured a lot of artsists and special projects as well. One of the most recent ones, besides playing with Santana now, is her collaboration with Jack Bruce, Vernon Reid, and John Medeski in the Tony Williams Lifetime Tribute Band called Spectrum Road.
Narada Michael Walden was, among others, drummer with two of the most renewing musical artists and bands of the past decades, namely: John McLaughlin and the Mahavishnu Orchestra. Watch here how Steve Smith names Narada Michael Walden as one of his major influences when listening to the Mahavishnu Orchestra after replacing Billy Cobham in the band.
