{"title":"Santana","description":"\u003cp\u003eArriving at the twilight of the 1960s, Santana were psychedelic pioneers who ushered Latin rock into the mainstream with their first three albums: Santana, Abraxas, and Santana III. Thanks to their appearance at Woodstock, their eponymous album was a smash hit right out of the gate, with its single \"Evil Ways\" making it into the Billboard Top Ten in 1969. They remained at the top of the charts until 1973, when leader and namesake guitarist Carlos Santana began exploring esoteric, spiritual jazz fusion on his own. Carlos may have wandered away from the band who shared his name, but he always returned to the group, sustaining them through years both productive and fallow. Through it all, Santana maintained a loyal classic rock following, but their popularity exploded in 1999 thanks to Supernatural, a splashy comeback masterminded by Clive Davis and featuring the Rob Thomas duet \"Smooth.\" Like \"Black Magic Woman,\" \"Evil Ways,\" and \"Oye Como Va\" before it, \"Smooth\" became a pop hit -- it reached number one, their first ever -- and became an enduring classic, allowing Santana to flourish into the 21st century, as he moved between reuniting the Santana III band for 2014's Santana IV, collaborating with the Isley Brothers for 2018's Power of Peace, recording Africa Speaks with Spanish vocalist Concha Buika in 2019, and delivering Blessings and Miracles, a star-studded record in the vein of Supernatural, in 2021.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCarlos Santana formed the Santana Blues Band with guitarist keyboardist\/singer Gregg Rolie in 1966. During the group's early days, the lineup was volatile, with the membership settling down to Carlos, Rolie, bassist David Brown, drummer Bob \"Doc\" Livingston, and percussionist Marcus Malone in 1967, around which time the group lost the \"Blues Band\" from their name. Promoter Bill Graham discovered the band and booked Santana to play his Fillmore West on June 16, 1968. The group soon landed a deal with Columbia Records, which enlisted producer David Rubinson to capture the band playing the Fillmore West in December; these tapes were shelved until Columbia\/Legacy issued them in 1997 as Live at the Fillmore 1968.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrior to recording their first album in early 1969, Santana swapped Livingston and Malone for Michael Shrieve and Mike Carabello, adding percussionist José Chepitó Areas as well. This incarnation recorded the group's eponymous debut, then set out on tour, where they had a career-making appearance at the Woodstock festival in August 1969. That was the same month Santana appeared in the record stores, and it was a swift success, climbing its way to number four on Billboard's album charts during the course of its two-year run on the charts. The album was assisted by Santana's show-stealing performance in 1970's Woodstock documentary and the single \"Evil Ways,\" which peaked at number nine on Billboard's Hot 100 in 1970. In September of that year, Santana released Abraxas, which bested its predecessor: it peaked at number one, stayed on the charts for a year-and-a-half, and generated two major hits with \"Black Magic Woman,\" which reached number four on Billboard, and \"Oye Como Va,\" which peaked at 13.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ranks of Santana expanded on 1971's Santana -- commonly called Santana III -- with guitarist Neil Schon joining the fold and percussionist Coke Escovedo replacing an ailing Areas. Santana III became the third successive smash for the band, peaking at number one and generating a big hit with \"Everybody's Everything,\" which reached number 12 on Billboard's Hot 100.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSantana III marked the end of the classic lineup of the band. Upon the conclusion of its supporting tour, the group broke up, with Carlos retaining the rights to the band name. He soon assembled a different version of the band featuring Rolie, Schon, and Areas, debuting this lineup on Caravanserai, a 1972 album that found the guitarist pushing forward into jazz. Although the album peaked at eight on Billboard and earned a Grammy nomination for Best Pop Instrumental Performance with Vocal Coloring, it ceased the group's commercial momentum, which did nothing to deter the guitarist's appetite for musical exploration. Soon, he started dividing his time between his band and solo projects. First came Carlos Santana \u0026amp; Buddy Miles: Live!, an LP that captured performances from their joint tour of December 1971-April 1972. Next, he teamed with guitarist John McLaughlin and his fusion band the Mahavishnu Orchestra to record 1973's Love Devotion Surrender. This album was informed by Santana's increased interest in spirituality. McLaughlin introduced him to his guru Sri Chinmoy, and Carlos soon became a disciple, adopting the name Devadip -- meaning \"the lamp, light, and eye of God\" -- in the process. Along these lines, Carlos teamed with Alice Coltrane in 1974 for Illuminations, a jazz fusion duet album. That same year, the Santana band released the triple-live album Lotus, recorded in Japan; over the years, its reputation grew, and it would eventually be reissued by Columbia\/Legacy in a \"complete edition\" in 2017.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile he was expanding his musical and spiritual horizons, Carlos continued to keep his namesake band active; from this point forward, the membership was fluid, with musicians drifting in and out of the group on a regular basis. In 1973, a new lineup released Welcome, but its chart appearance illustrated how Caravanserai alienated some of the group's fans: it peaked at 25 on Billboard. Borboletta, released a year later, performed slightly better, reaching 20, but it was clear the band was in jeopardy of losing their audience, so Carlos decided to make 1976's Amigos as a commercially minded project. Reuniting with producer David Rubinson, the man who'd helmed the group's initial hits, Santana sounded slick and direct on Amigos, and their gambit paid off: the album peaked at number ten on the Billboard charts. Rubinson and Santana swiftly delivered a sequel in the form of Festival, which performed respectably upon its January 1977 release. By the end of the year, the band issued Moonflower, which scattered studio cuts among live tracks; it peaked at ten, partially on the strength of a cover of the Zombies' \"She's Not There,\" which peaked at 27 -- their best showing on the Hot 100 since 1971. Another oldies cover -- \"Stormy\" by the Classics IV -- was featured on 1978's Inner Secrets, an album that just scraped the Top 30.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCarlos released his first official solo album Oneness: Silver Dreams Golden Reality in March of 1979; the jazz-influenced album was billed to Devadip. Later that year, the Santana band returned with Marathon, a more commercial-oriented effort produced by Keith Olsen, which featured the single \"You Know That I Love You.\" Shortly afterward, Carlos released the solo album The Swing of Delight, a collaboration with Rubinson that was billed to Devadip Carlos Santana. The band bounced back in 1981 with Zebop!, which peaked at number nine thanks to the hit single \"Winning.\" \"Hold On,\" the lead single from 1982's Shangó, went to 15 on the Hot 100, taking its parent album to 22. A solo album, this time billed to \"Carlos Santana\" and called Havana Moon appeared in 1983, peaking at 31.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFollowing this prolific decade-and-a-half, Carlos started to slow the band's studio output in the '80s. Santana didn't return with a new album until 1985, when Beyond Appearances arrived in February of that year; its single \"Say it Again\" topped out at 45, five rungs higher than 50 that was the album's peak showing. Santana celebrated their 20th anniversary with a concert in 1986, but 1987's Freedom didn't make much of an impact on the charts, peaking at 95. Carlos went solo in 1987 with Blues for Salvador, an album that snagged him his first Grammy Award for its title track (Best Rock Instrumental Performance). A lavish box-set retrospective called Viva Santana! appeared in 1988 -- it would be certified gold -- and the Santana band returned in 1990 with Spirits Dancing in the Flesh, which turned out to be their last album for their longtime home of Columbia Records.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSantana signed with Polydor for 1992's Milagro, but the album failed to generate much attention, peaking at 1992. A year later, the group released Sacred Fire: Live in South America, which peaked at 181 on Billboard's Top 200. In 1994, Carlos teamed with his brother Jorge and his nephew Carlos Hernandez for the Santana Brothers album; it scraped the Top 200, reaching 191. While Carlos worked with his brother, Rolie, Areas, and Carabello formed a separate group called Abraxas Pool, releasing the Abraxas Pool album in 1994.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDuring the rest of the '90s, Santana drifted ever closer to the oldies circuit, but their fortunes were revived when their old supporter Clive Davis signed the group to Arista in 1998. Davis designed a star-studded comeback for Santana that took the form of Supernatural, a 1999 album that exceeded any possible expectations. Thanks to the single \"Smooth,\" a song featuring Matchbox Twenty singer Rob Thomas (who also co-wrote the tune), Supernatural became an international blockbuster, topping the charts throughout the world, earning a coveted diamond certification in the U.S. and winning eight Grammy Awards, including Record of the Year and Album of the Year. Supernatural produced another number one single in the form of \"Maria Maria,\" which featured Wyclef Jean and G\u0026amp;B Product, but it was \"Smooth\" that kept Supernatural on the top of the charts for 12 weeks. Santana delivered Shaman, their Supernatural sequel, in 2002. Thanks to the hit single \"The Game of Love\" -- a song co-written by Gregg Alexander of the New Radicals and sung by Michelle Branch; it peaked at five and won the Grammy for Best Pop Collaboration with Vocals -- the album was another cross-demographic hit, peaking at number one on Billboard and earning double-platinum certification by the RIAA.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArriving in 2005, All That I Am debuted at two on Billboard, but effectively brought Santana's revival as hitmakers to an end; its lead single, \"I'm Feeling You\" -- which once again featured Michelle Branch on vocals -- topped out at 55. Even though there were no hit singles forthcoming, Santana remained a fixture in pop and rock culture. In 2010, they released Guitar Heaven, a collection of classic rock covers featuring guest vocalists; debuting at five on Billboard, it turned out to be their last album for Arista.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShape Shifter, the band's 2012 album, was their first not to feature guests since Milagro. Released on their Sony-distributed imprint Starfaith, the largely instrumental album peaked at 16 upon its release. Santana returned to duets for 2014's Corazón, an album the spotlighted Latin music and featured appearances by Pitbull, Gloria Estefan, Los Fabulosos Cadillacs, and Juanes. Carlos reunited most of the Santana III lineup, featuring Rolie, Schon, Shrieve, and Carabello, for Santana IV, an album released in April 2016. The next year, they issued Power of Peace, a collaborative album with the Isley Brothers. It was Santana's last album for Sony.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSantana signed with Concord in 2018. The first release in the contract was the Narada Michael Walden-produced EP In Search of the Mona Lisa, which appeared in January 2019. That June, Santana issued Africa Speaks. Produced by Rick Rubin, it marked an auspicious collaboration between the Santana band and Spanish vocalist Concha Buika. Its title track was co-composed by the guitarist and the singer (they wrote most of the album together), and the late producer\/arranger David Axelrod. Other highlights included the single \"Breaking Down the Door\"; \"Los Invisibles,\" which the pair wrote with Rachid Taha and Steve Hillage; and Laura Mvula's \"Blue Skies,\" one of two songs on which she made a guest appearance. The LP debuted at number three on the U.S. Billboard 200.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlessings and Miracles found Santana delivering another pop-leaning record overfilled with guests. This time, Chris Stapleton, Steve Winwood, G-Eazy, Corey Glover, Kirk Hammett, and Rob Thomas all joined Santana for a free-wheeling pop-fusion LP. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, Rovi\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"santana-welcome","title":"WELCOME","description":"Santana: Carlos Santana (vocals, acoustic \u0026amp; electric guitars, bass, kalimba, percussion); Wendy Haas, Leon Thomas, Flora Purim (vocals); Doug Rauch (guitar, bass); Mahavishnu John McLauhlin (guitar); Bob Yance, Mel Martin, Joe Farrell (flute); Richard Kermode (soprano saxophone); Richard Kermode (piano, electric piano, organ, Mellotron, marimba, percussion); Tom Coster (piano, organ, marimba, percussion); Michael Shrieve, Tony Smith (drums); Armando Peraza (bongos, congas, percussion); Jose \"Chepito\" Areas (congas, timbales, percussion).\nProducers: Carlos Santana, Michael Shrieve, Tom Coster.\nRecorded in 1973. Originally released on Columbia (32445). Includes liner notes by Hal Miller.\nThe mark that the recording of Caravanserai and Love Devotion Surrender had left on Carlos Santana was monumental. The issue of Welcome, the band's fifth album and its first with the new lineup, was a very ambitious affair and was regarded by traditional fans of Santana with even more strangeness than its two predecessors. However, issued as it was at the end of 1973, after Miles had won a Grammy for Bitches Brew and after Weather Report, Return to Forever, and Seventh House had begun to win audiences from the restless pool of rock fans, Santana began to attract the attention of critics as well as jazz fans seeking something outside of the soul-jazz and free jazz realms for sustenance. The vibe that carried over from the previously mentioned two albums plus the addition of vocalist Leon Thomas to the fold added a bluesy, tougher edge to the sound showcased on Caravanserai. The band's hard root was comprised of Carlos, drummer Michael Shrieve, bassist Doug Rauch, and keyboard king Tom Coster. Add to this the percussion section of Armando Peraza and Chepito Areas as well as a second keyboard by Richard Kermode, and space was the place. The John Coltrane influence that inspired the Santana\/John McLaughlin pairing on Love Devotion Surrender echoes here on \"Going Home,\" the album's opening track, arranged by Coltrane's widow, pianist and harpist Alice. The deeper jazz fusion\/Latin funk edge is articulated on the track \"Samba de Sausalito,\" and to a much more accessible degree on \"Love, Devotion \u0026amp; Surrender,\" which features Thomas growling through the choruses and also features Wendy Haas, a keyboardist on Love Devotion Surrender who is enlisted here as a second vocalist. In fact, her pairing with Thomas on Shrieve's \"When I Look Into Your Eyes\" is nothing less than beatific. McLaughlin makes a return appearance here on the stunningly beautiful guitar spiritual \"Flame Sky.\" Brazilian song diva Flora Purim is featured on \"Yours Is the Light,\" a gorgeous Afro-Brazilian workout that embraces Cuba son, samba, and soul-jazz. Welcome also marked the first appearance of French soprano saxophonist Jules Broussard on a Santana date. He would later collaborate with Carlos and Alice Coltrane on Illuminations. Ultimately, Welcome is a jazz record with rock elements, not a rock record that flirted with jazz and Latin musical forms. It is understandable why Santana punters would continue to be disenchanted, however. Welcome was merely ahead of its time as a musical journey and is one of the more enduring recordings the band ever made. This is a record that pushes the envelope even today and is one of the most inspired recordings in the voluminous Santana oeuvre. ~ Thom Jurek\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Pop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: CD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 2\/1\/2008\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Santana","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44562325635305,"sku":"SZ1DL9-FOBK-00","price":13.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/3523\/8633\/files\/Santana-WELCOME_8hFn0_ab5ff29f-b693-45c6-a3a1-4e6e80ab06c2.jpg?v=1753206790"},{"product_id":"santana-lotus","title":"LOTUS","description":"Personnel: Carlos Santana (vocals, guitar, percussion); Tom Coster (vocals, electric piano, organ, keyboards, percussion); Richard Kermode (vocals, electric piano, keyboards, percussion); Armando Peraza (vocals, congas, bongos, percussion); Jos?

Carlos and his returning band of semi-regulars play backup to a revolving door of hit-making lead singers. Consequently, the album is a mixed, multi-format bag of great singles, each of which feature lots of Carlos's distinctive lead guitar (placed appropriately high in the mix).\nThis time out there's even more variety. Apparently not satisfied with simply crossing over, album co-producer Clive Davis ambitiously brokered an album that attempts to snare record buyers of every conceivable type. To this end, SHAMAN includes not only Latin, R\u0026amp;B, rap, and rock tracks, but also features grunge, classical and Nu Metal. Amazingly, the record is much more cohesive than would seem possible, sounding utterly contemporary and radio-ready throughout. Regardless of its disparate elements, SHAMAN is one thing for sure: a stunning pop record.\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Rock and Pop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: CD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 10\/22\/2002\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Santana","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44562642010345,"sku":"WE18WC-Y3FE-00","price":15.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/3523\/8633\/files\/Santana-SHAMAN_pKowT.jpg?v=1758812537"},{"product_id":"santana-marathon","title":"MARATHON","description":"Producers: Keith Olsen, D.

It marks his reunion with executive producer Clive Davis, who masterminded 1999's multi-platinum Supernatural. Billed by RCA as his \"first Latin album,\" Coraz?n is the studio counterpart to the guitarist's HBO Latino concert special that featured his band performing with a host of Latin music superstars in his native Mexico. The singing was (as it is here) mostly in Spanish. For the most part, Santana actually sounds hungry again. His studio band is filled with killers, including drummer Dennis Chambers, timbalero Karl Perazza, and conguero Raul Rekow. Opener \"Saideira\" features his trademark tone in a passionate, stinging, gritty exchange with vocalist Samuel Rosa, from the Brazilian rock and reggae band Skank. Jittering, insistent horns and layers of percussion push both men to escalate the battle. Juanes lends his soulful croon to first single \"La Flaca.\" It's got an anthemic hook with layers of backing vocals framing Santana's tight and tasty solos. Los Fabulosos Cadillacs back the guitarist on \"Mal Bicho,\" an aggressive, careening cumbia. \"Oye 2014\" is a Latin hip-hop reprise of \"Oye Como Va\" with the now ubiquitous Pitbull. Though interesting, it falls flat. Bob Marley's \"Iron Lion Zion\" features Ziggy Marley and Colombian rappers ChocQuibTown in a fusion that works, melding cumbia, reggae, and hip-hop. In \"Una Noche en Napoles\" -- a cover of Pink Martini's \"Una Notte a Napoli\" -- Mexican-American singer Lila Downs, Spanish cantaora Ni?a Pastori, and Argentine folksinger Soledad meet Santana's nylon-string guitar in a steamy buleria that weaves their voices yet retains their distinctive individual styles. Gloria Estefan appears on the lilting pop son \"Besos de Lejos\" and gives Santana a chance to showcase his rumba chops. Romeo Santos turns in a non-bachata performance on \"Margarita.\" His bilingual lyrics and lilting high tenor are wed to airy soulful Caribbean R\u0026amp;B. Santana ties it to the earth with taut phrasing through a biting solo. Miguel's \"Indy\" is babymaker pop-soul with a spiritual lyric. The composer sings and plays guitar accompanied only by Santana and Perazza. The jazzy salsa of \"Yo Soy la Luz\" was composed by Santana and features not only wife Cindy Blackman on drums, but also saxophonist Wayne Shorter playing sweltering fills and a gorgeous solo. While it's true that this is another attempt to repackage Santana for a new audience, to dismiss Coraz?n for that reason would discount the creativity and innovation currently at work in the diverse world of Latin popular music. In addition, Santana himself shows renewed vitality as a musician. While some cuts are forgettable, the guitarist's engagement with Latin pop is quite satisfying. ~ Thom Jurek\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Pop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: CD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 05\/06\/2014\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Santana","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44563109904617,"sku":"DB6ZEK-Y8VZ-00","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/3523\/8633\/files\/Santana-CORAZON_IJEbF.jpg?v=1753214468"},{"product_id":"santana-borboletta","title":"BORBOLETTA","description":"Santana: Carlos Santana (guitar, percussion); Tom Coster (piano, keyboards); Michael Shrieve (drums).\nAdditional personnel: Leon Patillo (vocals, piano); Flora Purim (vocals); Jules Broussard (soprano \u0026amp; tenor saxophones); Armando Peraja (soprano saxophone, congas); David Brown, Stanley Clarke (bass); Leon Chancler (drums); Jose Areas (congas); Airto Moreira (percussion).\nAlthough it isn't a concept album in the conventional sense, BORBOLETTA has the aesthetic and thematic continuity of one. The lyrical material deals with pop-sheened themes of spiritual and personal expansion, while the album's gorgeous jazz-spirited instrumentals make for more cerebral and challenging listening. The band seals a Brazilian fusion connection with the appearance of vocalist Flora Purim and rhythmist extraordinaire Airto Moreira, while soulman Leon Patillo and keyboardist Tom Coster make their first major appearances in the core Santana lineup.\n\"Spring Manifestations\" opens the album like a meditation in the jungle, with Flora and Airto conjuring up an atmospheric wilderness of sound effects. Elsewhere, the distinct soft groove of the '70s tempers the band's harder crunch of the '60s as the percussion section tames its spikes and the gentle strains of Fender-Rhodes piano dance alongside the sinewy grit of Hammond organ. \"One With the Sun\" features an urgent-sounding Patillo making declarations of solar harmony at the mic and Carlos shredding through a series of breathtaking guitar solos. His playing shows signs of blooming into greater subtlety and harmonic sophistication on cuts like \"Flor de Canela\" and \"Promise of a Fisherman\" with lightning-fast modal-rock runs.\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Pop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: CD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 02\/01\/2008\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Santana","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44563124191465,"sku":"GFFR7Q-IUWX-00","price":13.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/3523\/8633\/files\/Santana-BORBOLETTA_ctQMw.jpg?v=1759299169"},{"product_id":"santana-swing-of-delight","title":"Swing Of Delight","description":"Personnel: Carlos Santana (vocals, acoustic, electric \u0026amp; 12-string guitars, percussion); Raul Rekow (vocals, congas, percussion); Orestes Vilato (vocals, timbales, percussion); Alex Ligertwood (vocals); Russell Tubbs (flute, soprano \u0026amp; tenor saxophones); Wayne Shorter (soprano \u0026amp; tenor saxophones); Herbie Hancock (piano, Fender Rhodes piano, Clavinet, keyboards, synthesizer); Ron Carter (acoustic bass); David Margen (bass); Tony Williams, Harvey Mason, Graham Lear (drums); Armando Peraza (congas, bongos, percussion); Francisco Aguabella (congas).\nRecorded at The Automatt, San Francisco, California.\nIn the face of the Santana band's more poppish outings, THE SWING OF DELIGHT marks a striking return to Carlos' exploratory, instrumental roots in the form of a potent fusion session.

After several years of quiet in the studio, Santana is joined by his seasoned contemporary Eric Clapton and by such young luminaries as Lauryn Hill, Dave Matthews, Rob Thomas, and Fher (of famed Mexi-rockers Mana). As an album that caps a rock career spanning more than three decades, SUPERNATURAL is a testament to the stylistic breadth of Carlos' musical world, to his dynamic communicative abilities, and to the fact that rolling stones truly gather no moss. The man continues to make a guitar wail like no other.\nTo the sound of punchy horns, Rodney Holmes' double-bass drum kick, and of course, Santana's searing string-bending, \"Yaleo\" tears it up with abandon. \"Migra\" is another signature Santana 'Latin rock' piece with a pulsing Bo Diddley beat and a strong message about the U.S. immigration officers' harassment of Latinos. \"Love Of My Life\" is a sultry number with Matthews pouring sweetness all over the microphone, while \"Do You Like The Way\" features Hill dropping the light of her wisdom to slow, rough beats.\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Pop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: CD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 6\/15\/1999\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Santana","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44563851378921,"sku":"7HRWC9-MW2S-00","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/3523\/8633\/files\/Santana-SUPERNATURAL_zLWBR_e2203dd4-b000-42a8-a2d3-e16b88a35a88.jpg?v=1759362656"},{"product_id":"santana-marathon-180-gram-audiophile-vinyl-gatefold-cover-limited-edition","title":"Santana | Marathon (LP, 180 Gram Vinyl, Audiophile, Limited Edition, Gatefold Jacket)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:12px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;\"\u003eThe legendary Santana set the music world on fire back in the late-60s with their hypnotic blend of Latin-fused rock, jazz, and soul, augmented with the brilliant and skillful musicianship of their leader and guitarist Carlos Santana.

The bluesy strains of his guitar melody immediately set the tone for the ever-mystical \"Black Magic Woman,\" with Rolie delivering each verse in oddly sedate, reverb-soaked form. \"Samba Pa Ti\" is the first and probably most well-known of Carlos' instrumental ballads.

Santana added Latin music to the mix, forever changing the course of rock \u0026amp; roll history. On their groundbreaking debut album, the group mix Latin percussion with driving rock grooves.

The high-energy level on Santana is infectious -- the laid-back feel of other '60s San Francisco groups was clearly not for Carlos and co. ~ Rovi Staff\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Rock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 04\/29\/2016\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Santana","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44590186365161,"sku":"2YDEJM-5BE9-00","price":34.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/3523\/8633\/files\/Santana-SANTANA_G4Dho.jpg?v=1748628780"},{"product_id":"santana-supernatural-legacy","title":"SUPERNATURAL (LEGACY","description":"Personnel: Carlos Santana (vocals, guitar, congas, percussion); Everlast (vocals, guitar); Dave Matthews, Rob Thomas, Lauryn Hill, Cee-Lo, The Product G\u0026amp;B, Fher, Eagle Eye Cherry (vocals); Eric Clapton, Francis Dunnery, Al Anderson, Sergio Vallin, JB Eckl (guitar); Danny Wolinski (flute, saxophone); KC Porter (accordion, programming, background vocals); Mic Gillette, Jose Abel Figueroa (trumpet, trombone); Marvin McFadden, Javier Melendez, William Ortiz (trumpet); Jeff Cressman, Steve Turre, Ramon Flores (trombone); Alex Gonzales (drums, background vocals); Billy Johnson, Carter Beauford, Horatio Hernandez, Rodney Holmes, Greg Bissonette, Jimmy Keegan (drums); Karl Perazzo (congas, timbales, percussion, background vocals); Raul Rekow (congas).\nProducers include: Carlos Santana, Steve Harris, Wyclef Jean, Jerry \"Wonder\" Duplessis, KC Porter.\nEngineers include: Steve Fontano, Glenn Kolotkin, Mike Couzi.\nSUPERNATURAL won the 2000 Grammy Award for Album Of The Year and for Best Rock Album. \"Smooth\" won the 2000 Grammy Award for Song Of The Year, Best Pop Collaboration With Vocals and for Record Of The Year. \"The Calling\" won the 2000 Grammy Award for Best Rock Instrumental Performance. \"Maria Maria\" won the 2000 Grammy Award for Best Pop Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocal. \"El Farol\" won the 2000 Grammy Award for Best Pop Instrumental Performance. \"Put Your Lights On\" won the 2000 Grammy Award for Best Rock Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocal. \"Love Of My Life\" was nominated for the 2000 Grammy Award for Best Pop Collaboration With Vocals. \"El Farol\" was nominated for the 2000 Grammy Award for Best Instrumental Composition.\n\"Corazon Espinado\" won the 2000 Latin Grammy Award for Record Of The Year and SUPERNATRUAL won Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal. \"El Farol\" won the 2000 Latin Grammy Award for Best Pop Instrumental Performance.\nSantana: Carlos Santana (vocals, guitar); Tony Lindsay, Andy Vargas (vocals); Chester Thompson (keyboards); Benny Rietveld (bass); Rodney Holmes (drums); Raul Rekow (congas, percussion); Karl Perazzo (timbales, percussion).\nAdditional personnel: Dave Matthews, Everlast (vocals, guitar); Sarah McLachlan (vocals, piano); Lauryn Hill, Cee-Lo, The Product G\u0026amp;B, Rob Thomas (vocals); Wayne Shorter (saxophone); Bill Ortiz, Julius Melendez (trumpet); Jose Able Figueroa, Jeff Cressman (trombone); Carter Beauford (drums).\nLiner Note Author: Hal Miller.\nRecording information: Cello Studios (2000); Chung King Studios (2000); Circo Beat (2000); Conway Recording (2000); Electric Lady Studios (2000); Fantasy Studios (2000); Pcp Labs (2000); South Beach Studios (2000); Tarpan Studios (2000); The HIT Factory (2000); The Plant Recording Studios (2000); The Record Plant (2000); US (2000); Worldbeat Recording (2000).\nPhotographers: Omar Cruz ; Jay Blakesberg; Adriano Scognamillo; Rick Diamond; Neal Preston; Marc Bryan-Brown; Steve Granitz; Norman Watson; Ralph Nelson; Kava Gorna; Calixto Robles; Adam Fells.\nFans old and new have much to celebrate about SUPERNATURAL, Carlos Santana's Arista Records debut.

As an album that caps a rock career spanning more than three decades, SUPERNATURAL is a testament to the stylistic breadth of Carlos' musical world, to his dynamic communicative abilities, and to the fact that rolling stones truly gather no moss. The man continues to make a guitar wail like no other.\nTo the sound of punchy horns, Rodney Holmes' double-bass drum kick, and of course, Santana's searing string-bending, \"Yaleo\" tears it up with abandon. \"Migra\" is another signature Santana 'Latin rock' piece with a pulsing Bo Diddley beat and a strong message about the U.S. immigration officers' harassment of Latinos. \"Love Of My Life\" is a sultry number with Matthews pouring sweetness all over the microphone, while \"Do You Like The Way\" features Hill dropping the light of her wisdom to slow, rough beats.\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Rock and Pop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: CD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 02\/15\/2010\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Santana","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44590354563305,"sku":"PIAOK0-JAZP-00","price":22.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/3523\/8633\/files\/santana-supernatural-legacy_dE8jj.jpg?v=1759363529"},{"product_id":"santana-havana-moon","title":"Havana Moon","description":"Personnel includes: Carlos Santana (guitar); Greg Walker, Willie Nelson (vocals); Jimmie Vaughan (guitar); Orestes Vilato (flute, percussion); Kim Wilson (harmonica); Flaco Jiminez (accordion); Booker T.

The sound here is better than many other issues from this source over the years, but that's not the primary reason for interest in this outing. This show reveals the Santana band walking a tightrope between the early Latin rock sound that made them famous and the improvisational quality of the jazz fusion that underscored recordings such as Welcome, Caravanserai, and Borboletta -- the latter was the album they were supporting here. Gregg Rolie and Michael Shrieve had left by this time, and lineup changes were almost constant. But this is a smoking live group with some long-term main stays including percussionist Armando Peraza and keyboardist\/vocalist Tom Coster. New lead vocalist and second keyboardist Leon Patillo is arguably better than anybody that ever fronted this unit save for Leon Thomas. Leon \"Ndugu\" Chancler, on drums, adds hard breakbeat funk inside a rock equation. Bassist David Brown is among the more underrated players of the instrument. The material, though most of it is classic Santana, is given fresh energy by two things: the guitarist's harder-edged, more adventurous style (after coming under the influence of John McLaughlin some years before), and the input of jazz and funk chops of these players, who also know how to make them rock. It's there in the opening moments of the medley of Gabor Szabo's \"Gypsy Queen\" and Peter Green's \"Black Magic Woman,\" which give way immediately to a throttling read of Tito Puente's \"Oye Como Va.\" The focus is deep, but the playing is extremely aggressive. After a brief pause introduced by Patillo, \"Treat,\" from the band's debut album, gives way to a new collaboration between the singer and Carlos Santana entitled \"Time Waits for No One.\" It's a roiling, souled-out, fiery groover that pushes everything into overdrive. Coster and Santana exchange wonderful solos and the interplay between Chancler and Peraza is off the hook. Left off here, unfortunately (and inexplicably since there was plenty of time left over), is the version of \"Give and Take\" from Borboletta, which was somewhat stilted in the studio, but here it's a killer jam with snarling, sexy, seductive vocals from Patillo and some of the guitarist's most monstrous riffing. The show picks up at a pile-driving \"Incident at Neshabur,\" with Brown and Santana going head to head with killer breaks and fills by Chancler before Coster's labyrinthine Rhodes solo. The closer, a 20-plus-minute jam medley of \"Savor\" and \"Soul Sacrifice,\" is introduced by a short but intense percussion\/drum solo that moves the tune deep into acid funk terrain. Sonically this set is better than any bootleg version of the gig and really brings these stellar performances to life. This is an all but lost chapter in the Santana band's history, but it shouldn't be. This 1975 grouping lived up to the potential of its personnel, and embodied everything its leader sought to embrace. It stands with Lotus in terms of its kinetic quality. ~ Thom Jurek\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Rock and Pop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 03\/18\/2016\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Santana","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44594511118569,"sku":"7BZLFC-JQ55-00","price":33.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/3523\/8633\/files\/santana-rynearson-stadium-ypsilanti-25-05-75_s0vp3.jpg?v=1759175951"},{"product_id":"santana-borboletta-1","title":"Borboletta","description":"\u003cp\u003eBorboletta is a Records \u0026amp; LPs from Santana\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Pop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 8\/9\/2019\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Santana","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44597893169385,"sku":"6E6443-246L-00","price":41.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/3523\/8633\/files\/santana-borboletta_bnOy4.jpg?v=1741095275"},{"product_id":"santana-santana-iii-4","title":"SANTANA III + 4","description":"Following on the heels of Santana's 1970 breakthrough, ABRAXAS, 1971's SANTANA III is teeming with the eclectic mix of rock, blues, jazz, R\u0026amp;B, and Latin rhythms for which the band is known. Though somewhat more jam-oriented than its predecessor, SANTANA III is no less of an achievement. Full of percolating webs of percussion, jazzy keys parts, infectious call-and-response vocals, and the searing twin guitar attacks of Carlos Santana and Neal Schon (who later went on to form Journey), the album is an absorbing sonic experience from back to front.\nGiven Carlos Santana's late-career partnerships with everyone from Rob Thomas to the Black Eyed Peas, it's sometimes hard to remember that his band was a product of San Francisco's late-'60s psychedelic rock scene. While the band's music represents the wide-open aesthetic of that milieu, it also dates much better than other music of the time, in large part because of its groove-oriented accessibility and the formidable skills of the musicians. SANTANA III holds up particularly well, and sounds not a whit out of place in the mashed-up, multi-culti 2000s.

Originally released on Columbia (32445). Includes liner notes by Hal Miller.\nThe mark that the recording of Caravanserai and Love Devotion Surrender had left on Carlos Santana was monumental. The issue of Welcome, the band's fifth album and its first with the new lineup, was a very ambitious affair and was regarded by traditional fans of Santana with even more strangeness than its two predecessors. However, issued as it was at the end of 1973, after Miles had won a Grammy for Bitches Brew and after Weather Report, Return to Forever, and Seventh House had begun to win audiences from the restless pool of rock fans, Santana began to attract the attention of critics as well as jazz fans seeking something outside of the soul-jazz and free jazz realms for sustenance. The vibe that carried over from the previously mentioned two albums plus the addition of vocalist Leon Thomas to the fold added a bluesy, tougher edge to the sound showcased on Caravanserai. The band's hard root was comprised of Carlos, drummer Michael Shrieve, bassist Doug Rauch, and keyboard king Tom Coster. Add to this the percussion section of Armando Peraza and Chepito Areas as well as a second keyboard by Richard Kermode, and space was the place. The John Coltrane influence that inspired the Santana\/John McLaughlin pairing on Love Devotion Surrender echoes here on \"Going Home,\" the album's opening track, arranged by Coltrane's widow, pianist and harpist Alice. The deeper jazz fusion\/Latin funk edge is articulated on the track \"Samba de Sausalito,\" and to a much more accessible degree on \"Love, Devotion \u0026amp; Surrender,\" which features Thomas growling through the choruses and also features Wendy Haas, a keyboardist on Love Devotion Surrender who is enlisted here as a second vocalist. In fact, her pairing with Thomas on Shrieve's \"When I Look Into Your Eyes\" is nothing less than beatific. McLaughlin makes a return appearance here on the stunningly beautiful guitar spiritual \"Flame Sky.\" Brazilian song diva Flora Purim is featured on \"Yours Is the Light,\" a gorgeous Afro-Brazilian workout that embraces Cuba son, samba, and soul-jazz. Welcome also marked the first appearance of French soprano saxophonist Jules Broussard on a Santana date. He would later collaborate with Carlos and Alice Coltrane on Illuminations. Ultimately, Welcome is a jazz record with rock elements, not a rock record that flirted with jazz and Latin musical forms. It is understandable why Santana punters would continue to be disenchanted, however. Welcome was merely ahead of its time as a musical journey and is one of the more enduring recordings the band ever made. This is a record that pushes the envelope even today and is one of the most inspired recordings in the voluminous Santana oeuvre. ~ Thom Jurek\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Pop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRSD Date: n\/a\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 02\/18\/2014\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Santana","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44599943528681,"sku":"4V9CFN-G35S-00","price":36.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/3523\/8633\/files\/santana-welcome_ucQyW.jpg?v=1741073351"},{"product_id":"santana-breaking-down-the-door","title":"Breaking Down The Door","description":"\u003cp\u003eBreaking Down The Door is a Records \u0026amp; LPs from Santana\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Rock and Pop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 4\/13\/2019\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Santana","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44600004641001,"sku":"HFPECI-UW6N-00","price":14.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/3523\/8633\/files\/santana-breaking-down-the-door_J4Ay4.jpg?v=1759221132"},{"product_id":"santana-africa-speaks-2-lp","title":"Africa Speaks [2 LP]","description":"\u003cp\u003eSantana | Africa Speaks [2 LP] | Vinyl | 6\/7\/2019\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Rock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 6\/7\/2019\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Santana","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44600326193385,"sku":"UXPKCR-ZC3Y-00","price":32.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/3523\/8633\/files\/santana-africa-speaks-2-lp_WUghA.jpg?v=1758793058"},{"product_id":"santana-festival","title":"FESTIVAL","description":"Santana: Carlos Santana (guitar, bass, percussion, background vocals); Leon Patillo (vocals, piano); Pablo Tellez (vocals, bass, percussion); Tom Coster (keyboards, synthesizer, percussion, background vocals); Paul Jackson (bass); Gaylord Birch (drums, tympani, percussion); Chepito Areas (congas, timbales, percussion); Raul Rekow (congas, percussion, background vocals); Julia Waters, Maxine Waters, Orin Waters, Francisco Zavala, Joel Badie (background vocals).\nRecorded at Wally Heider Recording, San Francisco, California.\nBrazilian pop and late-'70s soul-rock are in abundance on the groovy, feel-good FESTIVAL.

With a typically seamless transition, the band glides into even more Spanglish positivity on \"Let the Children Play,\" with sliding rhythms and Hammond organ reminiscent of \"Evil Ways.\" The light and sunny \"Give Me Love\" displays Carlos's clear fondness for soulsters like Al Green. \"Revelations\" is another addition to Carlos's treasured line of poignant instrumental ballads like \"Europa,\" featuring you-know-who tearing it up in a sublime moment of electric abandon.\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Pop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRSD Date: n\/a\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 02\/18\/2014\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Santana","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44600353128681,"sku":"UH44U9-OVFZ-00","price":36.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/3523\/8633\/files\/santana-festival_HoOUI.jpg?v=1741073311"},{"product_id":"santana-freedom","title":"Santana Freedom","description":"\u003cp\u003eBrand New Sealed | Santana | Freedom | Vinyl | Release Date: 10\/25\/2019\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Rock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 10\/25\/2019\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Santana","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44605647552745,"sku":"QLNGP6-G0BW-00","price":30.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/3523\/8633\/products\/santana-freedom_U9loh.jpg?v=1737556256"},{"product_id":"santana-havana-moon-1","title":"Havana Moon","description":"\u003cp\u003eBrand New Sealed | Santana | Havana Moon | Vinyl | Release Date: 05\/11\/2018\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Rock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 05\/11\/2018\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Santana","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44605738844393,"sku":"CO5G6J-WFWK-00","price":31.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/3523\/8633\/files\/santana-havana-moon_abSyI.jpg?v=1759134416"},{"product_id":"santana-caravanserai-140-gram-vinyl-gatefold-lp-jacket-download-insert","title":"Caravanserai (140 Gram Vinyl, Gatefold LP Jacket, Download Insert)","description":"TracksCredits\r\n- Disc 1 -\r\n1 Eternal Caravan of Reincarnation -
