Local rock Hall of Fame musician Carlos Santana will soon re-enter the recording studio with former homeless bandmate after an emotional reunion this weekend.
Santana recently contacted East Bay news station KRON 4, when a feature story led them to a homeless man named Marcus Malone, who had been a percussionist in Santana's blues band decades ago. Santana recognized the man and asked the reporter to help him find Malone again.
