Santana

Musician

Carlos Santana (born July 20, 1947) is a Mexican-American guitarist and bandleader whose group Santana fused Latin percussion and rock; the band broke through at Woodstock (1969) and produced landmark albums such as Abraxas and Caravanserai.

Born July 20, 1947 in Autlán de Navarro, Mexico; leader of the band Santana; breakthrough performance at Woodstock in August 1969; adopted the name Devadip during the early 1970s; inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1998.

DeBaser reviews praise Santana's late-60s/early-70s Latin-rock peak (Santana, Abraxas, Santana III, Caravanserai) and his Woodstock breakthrough. Many note excellent percussion, memorable guitar solos and successful fusion with jazz and world music. Later commercial albums receive mixed or critical reactions, while Supernatural and some recent releases earned renewed attention. Overall the reviews celebrate his early classics and influential style.

For:Fans of classic rock, Latin-rock, guitar enthusiasts and readers interested in album-by-album commentary

 After each listen, we will be a little more purified from Western toxins, and perhaps also a bit less rigid and suspicious in facing any kind of music that sounds "strange" at first and doesn't seem "ours."

 Europa (which shouldn't make you think of Strasbourg, Hollande, or Merkel, but of Greek mythology) remained an unforgettable mark.
