CLASSIC TRACK SANTANA SAMBA PA TI

By 1970, the virtuosic musicianship of San Francisco Latin-rock fusion pioneers Santana had already garnered the kind of mainstream success most kids in their early 20s can only dream of. A genre-breaking set at the Woodstock Festival in ’69 was followed by a Top 10 Billboard single, Evil Ways, and Top Five eponymous debut album.

The second, recorded at San Francisco’s Wally Heider Studio the following year, arguably trumped its predecessor with even more heady experimentation and refined blasts of the band’s ‘everything but the kitchen sink’ influences. Just take a listen to , and this month’s track, and you’ll be blown away by the vibrant results of the band’s musical melting pot.
