Carlos Santana's band has been swirling blues, Afro-Cuban jazz, rock, fusion, and psychedelic guitar elements into his brand of Latin rock since the 1960s. Many of today's musicians hold Santana responsible for picking up where Ritchie Valens left off, bringing Latin sounds to the forefront of popular music. Shortly after Santana's start playing the dosed music halls of San Francisco in the liquid light-show heyday (mid-'60s), the eclectic band found itself at the first Woodstock festival, playing one of the most memorable performances while under the influence of everything. The band has undergone many lineup changes since, but Carlos Santana continues to radiate his singing tone and global soul playing new songs, live jams and old hits that brought him popularity and musical acclaim back in the day of the longhairs. |
