Susan Santos
Badajoz (Espainia) - 1981
Musikarekiko zuen grina handiak akuilatuta, gitarra jotzen eta abesten ikasi zuen modu autodidaktan. Proiektu propioa sortu zuen bere izenarekin, rocka, bluesa, countrya eta amerikar sustraiko beste musika batzuk nahasten dituen power trio bat.
Europako, Estatu Batuetako eta Mexikoko jaialdi eta aretoetan biran ibili da zenbait urtez, eta nazioarteko artista handiekin partekatu du agertokia. Esaterako, Billy Gibbonsekin (ZZ Top).
Bost disko eta EP bat argitaratu ditu: Take me Home, Shuffle Woman, Electric Love, Skin & Bones, No U Turn eta The L.A. Sessions, North Hollywooden grabatua, Los Angelesen (Kalifornia).
Susanek “Best Musician Performance” saria irabazi zuen 2018ann European Blues Awards sarietan, eta 2019an, berriz, “Best Album Female”, No U Turn diskoagatik, LA Music Critics Award sarietan (Los Angeles, Kalifornia).
Haren eszenaratze indartsu eta erakargarriak ez zaitu axolagabe utziko.
“Spanish guitar tornado, stinging, sineous guitar lines, powerhouse riffs, sumptuous slide, great songs and a killer power trio”
(Get Ready to Rock, UK)
“Susan Santos is a guitar hero. She has chops to spare. She is a monster in the studio, overdubbing well performed layers of guitar that sound live and immediate. San- tos is also an accomplished songwriter who crafts sturdy, hook la- den numbers.But, there are not any real Blues burners. There is not a traditional 12 bar pattern anywhere. However, for those purists who are looking for this talented slinger to lay it down old school check out some of the YouTube videos of Santos and band. She can get down and weep out a deep 12 bar Blues like nobody’s bu- siness. With this her 5th record, No U Turn is a high point for a deep soulful artist in her prime”
(Blues Blast Magazine, US)
”She is a guitarist with a special magnetism. She is an absolute professional, serious and solvent”
(Billy Gibbons)
