SAVANNA SILVER BAND

The Silver Savannah Band were a Latin jazz funk band out of Melbourne. They were led by Michael Savanna Silver [Miguel Sergides]. Sergides had been a member of British prog band Arcadium in the late 60s. He emigrated to Australia sometime in the 70s. The group was apparently an amazing live act to watch with their tripped out west coast rock sound and latin style grooves. Their live shows displayed an enormous amount of talent. They released one album 'Pure Silver' in 1978 on the Champagne label. Lyrically deep and sound wise the album is a must for those that love Santana style grooves. A single was released from the album ''Ruby Running Faker / Foolish People'' but failed to chart. The album was reissued in 2021 on the UK label Seelie Court Digital.
