Nobody would be arrested for calling Carlos Santana the "Guru of the Singing
Guitar Riff" or the "King of Popular World Music". Thanks mainly to the outstanding
quality of their leader, Santana the band has so far been able to withstand
any attempt at pigeonholing their musical style, an elaborate fusion of
blues, soul, hard rock, Latin American and Afro-Cuban sounds, gypsy, jazz,
and folk. Not even the confines of a four-minute single will suffice to scale down
Santana's magic.
Over 40 million records sold, more than 100 live shows per year, concerts attended by a total of over 20 million
people - Santana is an untiring laborer driven by an enormous spiritual energy. For over thirty years he's
been delivering his message to the world: We Are All One. "Everybody gets wet when it rains, from the prostitute
to the pope. My music strives to communicate that message of unity."
Utmost virtuosity, a spot-on feeling for taste, and an infallible instinct for brilliant songs lend Santana's live
shows the highest entertainment factor imaginable.
