"CARNAVAL truly captures the Santana sound. Their vibrant, Latin- Rock & Soulful infused music brings back cherished memories and never fails to get me up on my feet dancing"
JOHN PROCACCINI - Nashville Social Club, Carson City, NV.
"As a life long fan of Santana's music from the young age of 8 when the Abraxas album was released.
I was absolutely floored by CARNAVAL'S ability to bring the music and energy of a live show to our venue! Simply amazing!"
MICHAEL & RUSS - Founders of Mammoth Lake's, The Village Margarita Festival
"If it isn't broke, don't fix it. As promoters of music festivals, keeping it fresh is always an objective. But when something lands big, don't mess with it. I started Mammoth Margarita Festival in Mammoth Lakes 14 years ago. I headlined CARNAVAL at the first show and I'm proud to say I have booked them again for the 15th consecutive year! These incredible musicians attract over 2,000 attendees to this shows. Looking forward to another amazing event in August".
CHRISTOPHER BARABINO -Proprietor Swabbies on The River Sacramento CA.
"CARNAVAL was the first band to be booked at Swabbies on The River. I've booked them two to three times every year since 2010. Their gate sales remain in the top five of dozens of bands I have worked with, in the last 25 years, there always on time, well prepared and easy to work with.
Be assured that you can book this band with confidence that your audiences will love the CARNAVAL show experience!"
GEORGE GOSLING - Tabletop Productions (Exclusive Agent)
"CARNAVAL underwent a name change in 2022, a mere four years ago. Prior to that, the band performed under the moniker Caravanserai with essentially the same lineup for nineteen years. Throughout their entire lifespan, Tabletop Productions has had the privilege of representing the band. This enduring relationship is a testament to the bands remarkable longevity in the realm of live touring artists. The key factors contributing to their success are the exceptionally high standards the members have set-fourth for themselves, coupled with their ever-growing popularity of one of the S.F. Bay Area's premier tribute acts. We extend our sincerest gratitude to the band members and look forward to another twenty years of collaboration.
Dr. ANNIE RODRIGUEZ - Talent Buyer/Owner Latin Rock Inc. SF CA.

LINDA LOPEZ - Slamms & Jamms Live Music Promoter
