As a musician and a percussionist, this guy has it to the Tee. His words are more than music, they are wisdom.

The recent years I have shared with the percussion player Paoli M , which has toured with Santana. But this has been a sad event. RIP.

God bless his soul..

DEP don Pepe, los fans del Vargas le echamos mucho de menos

Thank you so much for the beautiful tribute. It means more than words can express to her dad, George.

RIP, dear girl. My deepest condolences to Walter. This is beautiful, Barbara.

Thank you for your comments! My son, 16-years at the time, did the interviews and Carlos was so open to share his wisdom. Raul, was so honest because they all knew my focus was advice for young musicians. Thank you for your comments!

Such great interviews! This is the greatness of Santana. No egos getting in the way of the music. The Raul Rekow interview brought tears to my eyes. Carlos and his comrades are always about love and work and positivity and the groove. Viva Santana!

May the young 🙏 see and about all success of this man, love ❤️ brother, until we met again.

miss you my brother

Never fight for free? 🤕

the lynch report is avaliable at san jose state university library for photocopying you cant check it out

4:58 kids are allright

I came across some of the dvds you gave my dad. I was oh, hey, this is the same person. 😊

qué preciosa señora doña Amalia Mendoza, su estrella por siempre en el cielo brillará por lo bonito que cantó y entregó de su alma para el público a través de su arte.

Another reason for my hobby is to get out and enjoy the sites. Love the mountains and rivers.

This is interesting to hear about the legislative efforts.😊

As a huge fan of Santana, Mr Rekow was very much admired and an attribute to Santana Band!!! thank-you for your talent!!! RIP

It's 2023 And I first noticed this man in the 80s video "Say it again" I'm so sad that he became an Angel 😇 so young. I never knew his name until now. Rest in Eternal Peace Raul 🙏🏾🕊️🕊️

sensationalism is right

cancio de tu papa ? pero con todo respeto

❤❤❤❤❤

Un percusionista excepcional, procedente del grupo Malo. Fue leal al grupo Santana durante toda su carrera. Un pilar ritmico dificil de sustituir. Un abrazo a sus familiares y seres queridos❤

How did he die

Never forgotten

Qepd Raúl Rekow

Fortunate to have been in the audience of many Santana shows through the 70's and 80's. Raul was smiling ear to ear every time I saw them. He had the most fun of anyone. RIP

Wow, what an interview and a beautiful soul. RIP Raul !!! 🙏🙏🙏

D.E.P.😢

Que vozarrón tenía la Señora Amalia Mendoza

I remember he started with Sapo.😢

RIL Beautiful man.❤

Raul Rekow, gracias por tu aportaciòn y profesionalismo en el ritmo afroantillano (Congas). Q. E. P. D.

Que hermosa la simpleza de Amalia y muy bella la interpretación que hace del último bolero❤

Siempre te recordaremos Raúl Rekow con tu sonrisa tocando desde 1972 con grupo Malo con gorgito Santana y su éxito suavicito Raúl en los vídeos y todo lo que viajó por el mundo con Carlos Santana se ve su talento Raúl vivirás siempre para tus fans""

She had a AMAZING VOICE

Nadie como Amalia Mendoza un Orgullo Michoacano,así como las Gilguerillas,desde niño he escuchado esta música gracias a Mi Madre jamás conocí a la señora Amalia Mendoza,me quede con esa Ilucion,pero se que desde el Cielo sabe que soy su Fan número 1..señora hermosa se que en el cielo la veré algún día usted no puede dejarme con ese sueño de conocerla y que me cante con esa hermosa voz que Dios le regalo la amo le mando un besito hasta el Cielo seguro mi madre ya la conoció por que usted era su artista consentida 😂❤

I didnt know him from a ham sandwich......may he rest in paradise....but if you're a fan of Santana the band, there is NO WAY IN HELL, you're NOT a fan of Raul. His percussion playing, was literally the spine of that band. Watch a concert of theirs, and if you dont know Raul, all you gotta do is look for the cat with the big smile on his face. That's who is was. One of the great percussionists in the music industry...along with Paulinho da Costa, hands down.

Thank you for your gift and sharing your beautiful spirit

Un gran maestro y músico que en paz descanse crecencio Hernández ya con sus años se cansaba de la voz pero muy buen tema y porque si andaba con el mariachi america de planta porque no traía el traje igual el lo traía liso

We lost one of the best rest in peace Raul.

Very powerful images!

Thank you for this beautiful gift! I love it!❤❤❤

I remember that guy , who beat the crap out of congas. RIP

He said in his book he kicked a woman in the head to get her off the stage at the 1969 Altamont concert! Claims he hates bullies but did this...go figure. I will say the man had intelligence. He seemed to have mellowed out in his later years.

He spoke the truth, even today being a percussionist my band leader doesn't give us any space to shine, but you got to find that space yourself. Through that selfish behavior, you push yourself through. May your soul continue resting in eternal peace.

I’m an Aussie, never been to America but if I’d ever had the chance to I’d have tried my damndest to meet this bloke, many years before his throat cancer some friends did and all said he made them feel like they were the the only people in the room, he made them feel important. When I was 16 I lived a few doors from a chapter president (I actually knew him since 4 years old) he gave me a few decals, one was “Free Sonny Barger” the other Support your local Hell’s Angels” which I think has now been replaced with Big red machine and 81, I treasured them but unfortunately stuck them to my helmet (should’ve saved them) My friend and now Sonny are gone, they were both from different times, rough times but better, you knew exactly where you stood back then, nowadays the clubs here are mostly middle Eastern with many trying to make names for themselves, back in the day the clubs tried to keep that shit amongst themselves and amongst the people who wanted to be involved, if not for that I’d have prospected, even now at 67 I’d be tempted but only if things went back to old school: what was will never be again. RIP Sonny and Jed/Animal.

Raul Rekow been was there since the beginning and even until his end. RIP. I wish I was more social when I was stomping around the Mission District, I'd try to meet this cat! He is a knowledgable person.
