Carlos Santana About this sound audio (help·info) (born July 20, 1947) is a Mexican and American musician who first became famous in the late 1960s and early 1970s with his band, Santana, which pioneered a fusion of rock and Latin American music. The band's sound featured his melodic, blues-based guitar lines set against Latin and African rhythms featuring percussion instruments such as timbales and congas not generally heard in rock music. Santana continued to work in these forms over the following decades. He experienced a resurgence of popularity and critical acclaim in the late 1990s. In 2003 Rolling Stone magazine listed Santana at number 20[2] on their list of the 100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time.[3] He has won 10 Grammy Awards and three Latin Grammy Awards.[4]

Santana discography
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The discography of the rock band Santana formed by the Mexican-American rock guitarist Carlos Santana consists of 23 studio albums, seven live albums, 32 singles and 21 compilation albums.[1]
Santana formed in 1967 in San Francisco and was originally known as the Carlos Santana Blues Band. The first members were Carlos Santana (lead guitar), Tom Fraser (lead vocals & rhythm guitar), Mike Carabello (percussion), Rod Harper (drums), David Brown (bass guitar) and Gregg Rolie (organ). Its breakthrough began two years later, playing in the Woodstock Festival. Over the next few years, lineup changes were common and frequent, and although retaining a basis of Latin rock, Carlos Santana's increasing involvement with guru Sri Chinmoy took the band further into more esoteric music, which continued for many years, although never quite losing the initial Latin influence.[2]
Santana signed with Columbia and released their self-titled debut album Santana. This album reached fourth place on the Billboard charts and earned two-times platinum status by the American national certification. Next, Santana released Abraxas, on September 1970, which topped the Billboard charts and earned five-times platinum. Santana released another twelve albums in the 1970s, each earning RIAA certifications, and their success continued in the 1980s. The band's quietest period was from 1984 through 1994, with no certified albums. After signing with Arista, the group released the very successful Supernatural, which reached number one in several countries, earned 15-times platinum and sold nearly 27 million copies worldwide.[3] Their most recent album is the 2012 release, Shape Shifter.
Over a career spanning 40 years, Santana exemplified latin rock, while diversifying into other genres. Santana had sold over 100 million records as of 2010,[4] along with ten Grammy Awards and three Latin Grammy Awards.[5] Four albums reached number one in the Billboard charts (Abraxas, Santana III, Supernatural, Shaman) along with two number one singles (Smooth, Maria Maria).

Abraxas (album)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Abraxas is the second studio album by latin rock band Santana. Consolidating the interest generated by their first album, Santana (recorded in May 1969), and their highly acclaimed live performance at the Woodstock Festival in August 1969, the band followed-up with Abraxas in September 1970. The album's mix of rock, blues, jazz, salsa and other influences was very well received, showing a musical maturation from their first album and refining the band's early sound.

One of the best albums ever. I about wore my LP out, still have it somewhere.
You haven’t heard Black Magic Woman until you hear it done by the man who wrote it. Peter Green of early Fleetwood Mac. Santana does an incredible job on it, but all the parts where there in the original.
IMHO
I believe I have that on an LP somewhere in my stash. Someday when I get my turntable set up somewhere (no place in this house, wife don’t you know) I have a lot of old vinyl to play once again.
I liked Man with an Outstretched Hand. Wore that out in college.
Carlos Santana may be a great musician, be he is also a total socialist and has said some very anti American things in his live shows. He is also an amnesty pusher. I cant listen to his work anymore without getting angry.
Where’s the part about loving Che and Castro. Only takes a few eggs to make a glorious workers paradise omelette.
The thing about Santana is he doesn’t use any vibrato, which is pretty gutsy because he bends a lot. Without vibrato you have to be dead nuts on pitch when you bend, which he always is.
“Carlos Santana may be a great musician, be he is also a total socialist and has said some very anti American things in his live shows. He is also an amnesty pusher. I cant listen to his work anymore without getting angry.”
It is sometimes said that far more music is created and performed by Leftist Liberals than not. It then follows that not listening to their music would mean not listening to and enjoying most music. It is arguably more productive to go ahead, listen to the music, enjoy the music, and also enjoy the thought of just how very irritating it is for those same Leftist Liberals to know their music is being desecrated by your enjoyment of it despite their disapproval. Look how they gave Trump a very hard time for using their music at his events. Makes you want to dream up more ways of irritating them, doesn’t it?
lucky enough to have seen them back then in Fillmore East.
When I first listened to Santana Abraxas in 1971, I couldn’t help but notice the album jacket was a mishmash of Third World symbolism & reverse racism which said that virtue could be found only in people of color.
That said, I’ve always believed that “Oye como va” was the best tune ever for watching young women dance to its beat.
;^)
Those were incredible times in music. Such diversity, fusions, experimentation. Nothing at all like later decades.
Santana quickly became one of my favorites at college.

Hm and let me guess you went straight and scoffed at the people next to you that were high.
I saw them in Fresno must have been about 1966 at a place called MAG.
Santana was 4th on the bill. The “Grass Roots “ were the head liner. Then a band called “Tarantula” then someone else then Sanatana.
I was playing in another band and the stage manager came up to me to say the organ player for Sanatana didn’t show and he could probably get them to let me sit in. .. Told them I didn’t know their songs so they probably wouldn’t go for it .
So watched them w out their organ player and was still blown away.... By the socialist. Ha-ha
hell no i never went straight.Lived within walking distance of the Fillmore and later CBGB’s. Lower East side was a good place to grow up back then no matter how rough it was.
