David Santana is a Chilean/Canadian guitarist and composer whose music is rooted in the tradition of Wes Montgomery and Charlie Parker, woven together with more contemporary harmonic and melodic language in the spirit of Kurt Rosenwinkel.

His sound is deeply fiery and expressive, yet equally reflective, moving between intensity and introspection, and carrying a profound emotional and spiritual depth.
