SANTANA by Carlos Santana and the Santana Blues Band is the very first album by this amazing rock band. Their unique fusion, and the critical movement that was taking placing in the USA and the whole world for that matter, created the perfect momentum for this phenomenal kind of music.
Heavily influeced by the latin jazz scene that ruled the early and mid 60's and spiritual approach to it allowed for a mystical conection with the audieces then and even nowadays this album can take you really "high".
Please note, that similar to what happened to The Beatles (people thinking Lenon was the "only" one that counts) Santana, was not the art and magic of Carlos alone, then again the Santana Blues Band was musically driven by organ master Gregg Rollie, and the rest of the mebers , Jorge "Chepito" Areas, David Brown, Michael Shrieve and Michael Carabello made each one of them their proper part in crafting this superb and no doubt "classic" album.
The Mystic Soul Sacifice is found in this album,song that the band perfomed memorably in the 1969 woodstock festival and can be fully appreciated in the documentary film making them forever famous.
Interested? feel like sharing with Santana some of you money?
