José Octavio "Chepito" Areas (born 25 July 1946) is a Nicaraguan percussionist best known for having played timbales in the Latin rock group Santana from 1969-1977 and 1987-1989.[1] In 1998, he was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame for his work in Santana.[2] In 1997, he performed on Abraxas Pool with other members of the early 1970s iteration of Santana, including Gregg Rolie, Neal Schon, Michael Carabello and Michael Shrieve.[3] Previously, he released an eponymous solo album on Columbia/CBS Records in 1974. La Gigantona, a 1976 collaboration with Nicaraguan singer-songwriter and childhood friend Alfonso Noel Lovo, was reissued by Numero Group in 2012.[4] Featured along with Richard Bean in The Sounds of Santana CD by Mike Roman & The Tellstars (2003). Featured along with Michael Shrieve in Cha Cha Time! CD by Mike Roman & The Tellstars (2007).

In 1996, Areas was arrested at his Concord, California home for allegedly molesting the 6-year-old daughter and 7-year-old son of a contractor who previously worked on his swimming pool in the summer of 1995; prior to the arrest, Areas was assaulted by the contractor's boyfriend.[5] In an interview with police, Areas "did admit to some acts of child molesting."[6] According to the California sex offender registry, Areas was convicted of committing lewd and lascivious acts with a child under 14 years of age in 1997 and released from prison in 1998.[7] Areas was not invited to participate in the 2016 reunion of the classic Santana lineup as a result of his actions.[8] In his memoir, guitarist James Vincent (who collaborated with Carlos Santana and Areas in the 1970s) characterized Areas' "conduct around little girls... as young as 10 or 11" as "disgusting... beyond reprobate and embarrassing to us all. Let's just say it was behavior too ugly to describe here, and leave it at that."[9]
