Rolando Sanchez

Originally influenced simply by his parents, Nicaraguan Rolando Sanchez became involved with music in the 1960s, when his family made a decision to settle in SAN FRANCISCO BAY AREA, CA. After going to several shows by Latin rock and roll outfits such as for example Malo, Azteca, Sapo, and Santana, Latin percussion became his enthusiasm. Solar, Sunsmoke, the dance-based Messiah, as well as the Rolando Sanchez Music group were his 1st band encounters. In 1988, while surviving in Honolulu, HI, the enthusiastic musician put together Salsa Hawaii, producing their debut using the release of the cassette-format album known as Rhythms of the hawaiian islands, accompanied by Ahora.
