Javier Vargas, Spain’s biggest blues star, has released 27 albums since putting together the Vargas Blues Band in 1990. Eight of those records have sold platinum.
Javier has performed and/or recorded with so many artists… Prince, Carlos Santana, Alvin Lee, Roy Buchanan, Canned Heat, Larry Graham, Glenn Hughes, Jack Bruce, Carmine Appice, Tim Bogert and Devon Allman, to name a few amongst a looong list of major stars.
Carlos Santana plays Javier Vargas
Some of these stars appear as guest artists on Vargas Blues Band albums, while others have recorded versions of Javier’s music on their own albums. Carlos Santana’s version of Javier’s Blues Latino on the album Santana Brothers (1994) is a good example.
Performing with Prince
Many have asked Javier to perform with them on stage, marvelling his skills and musical style. Performing with Prince & The New Power Generation is one of highlights among those encounters.
