Santanico is a metal band from Amsterdam, The Netherlands, who pays tribute to the music of Carlos Santana. His music is not played they way he did, but the band plays the music in their own style which is a little more up-tempo and contains a lot of Venezuelan latin flavors.

The formation of the band has been around since 1997 and has performed at festivals, parties, night clubs and bars.

Some members of the band are part of the band called Laberinto.
