Carlos
Santana has successfully navigated the stormy waters
of popular music for more than three decades with
a unique balance of intelligence, passion, inspiration
and honesty. Like certain musicians who have earned
such rare affection in the hearts of people around
the world Olatunji, John Coltrane, Marvin Gaye, Jimi
Hendrix, Bob Marley and Miles Davis all come to mind
- Santana's music bridges the physical world and the
spiritual realm.
To
feel the music of Santana, whether it was radiating
from the stage of the Woodstock festival on a steamy
August afternoon in 1969, or bursting forth from a
top 40 station on the car radio, or heard in a thousand
venues from the Fillmore to Wembley, from Atlanta
to Osaka, from the Cotton Bowl to the Waldorf-Astoria
Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame induction dinner in 1998,
is to experience a vision that is humble and uplifting
at the same time. Hear the soaring riffs, infectious
rhythms, and the all-encompassing rock-soul-jazz-Latin-R&B
one-world groove that have set Santana apart, and
know in your heart that this is timeless music.
