You know, I was surprised when I found it he was dating Cindy Blackman, who is a drummer. I know he was married to his 1st wife for a while, and always spoke of her highly and referred to her as his Ebony Queen. I guess I was surprised they had broken up sometime ago. Well, I guess Carlos found happiness again and someone who is a musician such as himself.

I had to do some re-editing from the original headline MTO used. Didn't want this thread to turn into the Misty "racist" thread from last week.....

WOW!!! mr. santana married cindy blackman??!! woah... she is an AMAZING drummer!!!

i'm not really a fan of lenny kravitz; but i love when she performs jazz music.

y'all got me wanting to do a female drummer thread now!!! yaaay! thanks!

The only thing I care about in this entire thread, is how she's 52 and looks like that.

Sweet Lord Jesus I hope I look that good at 52.

...Hell - I don't look that good now.

I don't see any reason why it should, but good you edited the title. MTO has a way of sensationalizing their headlines to grab its readers' attention, so I'm not suprised they would go that route. Won't be the first time. Anyway, I saw a mention of Carlos and Cindy on tv last week, where it was mentioned they were married. Well wishes to both of them.

Cindy Blackman gets on stage proposal from Carlos Santana

Carlos Santana arrives at the Grammy Awards in Los Angeles on Jan. 31, 2010.

NEW YORK (CBS/AP) Carlos Santana is smooth: The guitar god has gotten engaged after proposing onstage to his girlfriend, drummer Cindy Blackman.

The proposal came during a tour stop Friday in Tinley Park, Ill., outside Chicago. His representatives say he popped the question four songs into the concert after Blackman performed a drum solo.

The crowd cheered when she said yes, and the couple sealed the proposal with a kiss.

The multiplatinum-selling Grammy winner ended a 34-year marriage to Deborah Santana in 2007.

Blackman has worked with the likes of Lenny Kravitz and Cassandra Wilson.

Santana says that he and Blackman are blessed to have found each other and says being in love "is a gift from the universe."
