Santana is a Latin music and rock band formed in San Francisco, California … Read Full Bio ↴Santana is a Latin music and rock band formed in San Francisco, California in 1966 by Mexican-American guitarist Carlos Santana. The band came to public attention with their performance of "Soul Sacrifice" at Woodstock in 1969. This exposure helped propel their first album, also named Santana, into a hit, followed in the next two years by Abraxas and Santana III. Lineup changes were common. Carlos Santana's increasing involvement with guru Sri Chinmoy took the band into more esoteric music, though it never lost its Latin influence.
In 1998, the band Santana was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame with Carlos Santana, José "Chepito" Areas, David Brown, Gregg Rolie, Mike Carabello, and Michael Shrieve The band has earned nine Grammy Awards and three Latin Grammy Awards, the latter all in 2000. Carlos Santana won a Grammy Award as a solo artist in 1988. The band has sold more than 100 million records worldwide, making them one of the world's best-selling groups of all time. In 2013, Santana announced a reunion of the classic line-up for a new album, Santana IV, which was released in April 2016. They are tied for having the most won Grammy Awards in one night.

"Incident at Neshabur" is a gem. It is incredible how this piece goes unnoticed for listeners other than hard-nosed Santana fans.

@Rob Matia it’s beyond rock and roll.
This is a unique creation that will sing forever through the universe.
If I have to be, I’ll be glad to be the only one who truly appreciates it.

Probably the finest piece of rock/jazz music ever written and performed. It's tight, lucid, lyrical, instrumental, percussive, elaborate, simple, evocative, creative all at the same time. Every instrument is separate yet they all come together like some rock orchestra. No one instrument is dominant (except maybe the guitar which is the thread which sews it all together), and in the background is a persistent latin percussion. And then it ends with a pure mellow tie-up. Genius.

This is the essence of early Santana.......hard driving Latin influence with jazz underpinning. Listened to this sone a million times. Even after 47 years, it's still as fresh as when it was released.

I feel the same way. Been playing guitar for 57 years and I could listen to that song over and over again. I can play it I can even get the feedback, but there is no way I could ever sound like that man's soul which is exactly what comes through his guitar. The man is amazing. It's nice to read a comment from someone who feels that same way.
