  • Escovedo Family Bios
    Escovedo Family Bios Pete Escovedo (Pops) has had a fruitful career as a percussionist with three years in Santana, founder of Azteca, a cooperative 14-piece Latin big band, and the father of pop star Sheila E. The master percussionist’s music seamlessly flows between Latin jazz, salsa, funk and R&B styles. This incredible ensemble features Juan and Peter Michael Escovedo along with a mix of musicians from both Los Angeles and the Bay Area. After several decades, Pete Escovedo has become an internationally recognized percussionist, nominated for two Grammy Awards and hailed as a percussion master. He is recognized by some of the greatest artists of our time and has had the opportunity to collaborate and share the stage with musical stars like Prince, Herbie Hancock, The Temptations and Stevie Wonder. Sheila E. was born into a rich heritage of Latin music in Oakland, California. She picked up drumsticks and started making music at the precocious age of three while watching her father, legendary percussionist Pete Escovedo, rehearse for his gigs with Tito Puente and Carlos Santana. She and her two younger brothers and sister grew up in a close-knit artistic family where it wasn’t uncommon for the top musicians of the day to jam in their small apartment until the early morning hours. And if they often struggled to make ends meet, they were rich in love and family unity. She began her career in the mid-1970s as a percussionist and singer for The George Duke Band. After leaving the group in 1983, Sheila began a successful solo career, starting with her critically acclaimed debut album, which included the career-defining song, “The Glamorous Life”.

How can you discover something that was already there? So, if you think Santana was the one who “invented” Latin rock, think again. While Santana was, undoubtedly, a driving force in the popularization and formalization of the sound, perhaps equally as important was Azteca. Pete Escovedo and his brother, the late Coke Escovedo, put the supergroup together after their departure from Santana’s band. Azteca recorded their first album for Columbia in 1972 and dissolved after two albums. Though their longevity cannot rival Santana’s, their influence is felt as deeply. Azteca was the first Latin group to hybridize the sound, bringing in a fuller band and mixing in elements of jazz and funk.
