Santana became famous in the late 1960s and early 1970s with his band, Santana, which pioneered rock, salsa and jazz fusion. The band's sound featured his melodic, blues-based guitar lines set against Latin and African rhythms. Santana continued to work in these forms over the following decades. He experienced a resurgence of popularity and critical acclaim in the late 1990s. In 2003, Rolling Stone magazine listed Santana at number 15 on their list of the 100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time. He has won 10 Grammy Awards and 3 Latin Grammy Awards.
Santana has was an avenue named after him as well as a statue of a guitar in the city where he was born (born in Autlán de Navarro, Jalisco, México) to honour him. The family moved from there to Tijuana In La Calonia Libertad, the city on Mexico's border with California, and then San Francisco, USA. Carlos stayed in Tijuana but joined his family in San Francisco later and graduated from James Lick Middle School and Mission High School there.
Most of his musical career has been spent with Santana, the band he formed in San Francisco in 1967. His music underwent large changes in 1973 when he was introduced to the spiritual leader Sri Chinmoy, by fellow guitarist "Mahavishnu" John McLaughlin. After this he adopted the title "Devadip" which he still uses. In 1998 he formed the Milagro Foundation along with his wife Deborah, which supports disadvantaged children. Later Carlos and Deborah divorced, but the Milagro Foundation is still alive and well.
Other huge influences of Carlos Santana are both Miles Davis (with whom he maintained a big personal connection), and John Coltrane, who unfortunately passed away in 1967.

I lost my father a little over 2 months ago. He used to love this song and now I absolutely love it too ❤

Mi viejo era un tipo que sabía escuchar buena música. Entre ellas este temazo de Carlos Santana, que desde que era muy niño mi papá siempre me familiarizó con tan buena música. Ahora él se fue hace menos de un año y yo estoy sentado en mi sala recordándolo , y seguro que el está aquí tmb disfrutando. ❤

Esta siempre fue la canción preferida de mi Madre y ella voló al cielo hace casi tres años… 😢 Pero su ausencia se hace cada día más grande! No encuentro palabras para expresar lo que siento…. Estoy feliz por ella! Espero que ya no sienta ninguna clase de dolor ni sufrimiento, espero esté en Paz! Pero sus abrazos, sus enseñanzas, su Presencia física, su profunda mirada y tantas cosas más… ya no están y hacen tanta tanta falta!!! No volveré a escuchar su melodiosa voz… 💔
