SANTANA

Santana is an iconic Latin rock band formed in San Francisco in the late 1960s by Mexican-born guitarist Carlos Santana. Known for their pioneering fusion of rock, blues, jazz, salsa, and African rhythms, Santana quickly rose to prominence after a breakthrough performance at Woodstock in 1969. The group’s self-titled debut album and subsequent hits like “Black Magic Woman,” “Oye Como Va,” and “Evil Ways” captivated audiences with infectious rhythms and Santana’s fluid, emotive guitar sound.

Over more than five decades and multiple line-ups, Santana has sold over 100 million records and won ten Grammy Awards, including a historic sweep with the 1999 album “Supernatural.” Revered for their groundbreaking multicultural style and electrifying live performances, Santana continues to inspire generations with their spiritual and soulful music, cementing their legacy as one of the most enduring and influential acts in modern music history.
