There are at least two artists using the moniker Malo. Malo is a U.S. Latin-rock group. The San Francisco-based ensemble was led by Arcelio Garcia and Jorge Santana, the brother of Latin-rock guitarist, Carlos Santana. Four of Malo's original members (Santana, Garcia, Tellez, and Bean) had previously played in a band called The Malibus. The other three founding members (Abel Zarate, Roy Murray, and Richard Spremich) had played together in a band called Naked Lunch.
