Acclaimed drummer, musician and composer Santa Davis joins husband and wife duo Jules Williams and Alison Pothier for this episode of I BULIEVE.
Santa is a member of the band, Soul Syndicate and has recorded with fellow reggae legends like Bob Marley, Peter Tosh and Bunny Wailer in Bob Marley and the Wailers, as well as Jimmy Cliff, Big Mountain and Ziggy Marley to name a few. He has also played with traditional artists such as Willie Nelson, Pink and Chaka Khan.
Join us as Santa shares his story of growing up in Kingston, Jamaica and his journey from a young boy in the drum corps to one of reggae's drumming legends. Speaking about how his own history evolved alongside that of the reggae music genre, Santa also shares about the poignant moments that defined his life and career. Dear friend of Peter Tosh, Santa was in the room the night Peter Tosh was shot and murdered. Surviving on a miracle and a prayer, Santa plays today with a bullet still lodged in his back.
A deeply soulful man, Santa's is a life well-lived and founded in faith, integrity and spiritual wisdom. His passion for life and music is infectious. An inspiration for all those 'choosing' their paths ... through the most challenging of circumstances.
