San Francisco Bay Area artist Santero has performed extensively throughout the United States and Latin America as an Emcee/Composer and DJ/Producer. Fusing his santería religious sensibilities with music, Santero’s desire to create music inspired him to experiment and venture abroad to explore the world of music in all it colors and flavors. He set out as an Emcee and before long became interested in production and the technical side of creation.

Santero is currently touring the U.S. to support the release of his second CD titled El Hijo de Obatala. And he spoke with Latino USA’s Maria Hinojosa about music, religion, performing, and his inspirations.
