Soul Sacrifice was formed in September 2006 by Sam Musca
and Ezio Caffarelli. Sam and Ezio love the music of Carlos
Santana and know that there is a big fan base in Australia
for this magnificent style of music. Our aim is to carry
the legacy of this beautiful world music to the people
of Australia and to make them sing, dance and celebrate
their lives in the light of goodwill and, in the spirit
of song and dance….and basically to have a great
time.

is also in constant demand as a guitar teacher. Sam has
played the music of Carlos Santana since he was a boy

playing
Ezio Caffarelli – Keyboards, Background vocals and

Jim Awram – Bass Guitar.
Jin has played in many bands such as Dr Bogus, Saxafunk
and the Angel Rae Band. Jim is an accomplished Bass Guitar
player and a gifted teacher as well. Jim’s bass
playing grooves are perfectly suited to the Latin flavour
of this band. Jim also assists in the arrangement of
the music and he too is inspired by the music of Santana.
When Jim locks into a groove, your mind, body and soul
get transported to a beautiful place.
Tommy Gi – Drums.
Tommy has played in far too many bands to list here. He
is one Perth’s most respected drummers and he plays
Latin Grooves perfectly. When Tommy’s drum grooves
lock in with Jim’s bass playing, you will not be
able to stop from moving to the rhythms of this sensual
music, it takes over your senses in the most fantastic
way.
Russell Burrows – Congas and assorted percussion.
Russell is one of Perth’s eminent percussionists.
He too has a long history of playing in many Bans both
in WA and interstate. Russell adds the Afro-Cuban beats
from his congas that is a hallmark of the Santana sound.
When Tommy, Jim and Russell lock onto a groove, your body
will surrender to the beats that will pervade your mind
and soul, there is no going back
George Perkins – Timbales and assorted percussion
George hails from the United Kingdom, where he played in “Viva
Santana” the UK’s own Santana Tribute show.
He is a recent resident of our magnificent country. George
is a specialist on Timbales and assorted other percussive
instruments. He takes up nearly half the stage with his
fantastic display of timbales, bells, whistles, maracas.
If you think the groove with Tommy, Jim and Russell is
sensuously dangerous, just add George to the equation and
you have the world beats that make an unstoppable force
in music.
Soul Sacrifice: From the album Santana 1, released in
1969. The song was played in Woodstock in front of 500,000
people in 1969 who basically went crazy when Santana took
to the stage to deliver an unforgettable rendition of this
hugely charged and powerful song.
