THE MANY FACES OF SANTANA
In the late 1960s, when acid rock reigned and the British Invasion was still raging, Carlos Santana and his band introduced a Latin-based rock sound featuring an Afro-Cuban beat. Carlos Santana was a fourth-generation musician and the son of a violinist who played mariachi music. His father tried for many years to teach him violin, but at age eight, Santana discovered the guitar and started listening to the electric blues of B.B. King and John Lee Hooker and that was the end of it. During his long-lasting career, Carlos Santana’s name has become synonymous with some of the most important genres of music today - jazz, Latin, salsa, blues and rock.
In The Many Faces of Santana we will explore Santana’s inner world, including its members’ side projects, alternative versions of some of his classics y his vast range of influences who made the multifaceted artist he ended up being.
With fantastic artwork and remastered sound, we welcome Santana as another essential addition to our The Many Faces collection. And remember that this is not available on streaming platforms.
