Carlos is a fantastic musician and seems like a great man too. My husband is a huge fan and so am I. I'm so happy to see Carlos getting the recognition he deserves over the past few years. He is an excellent guitarist, no doubt about that. | |

If you can't find the soundtrack, " Bella" is also on The Carlos Santana album, " Blues for Salvador"(1987) " I've got six things on my mind --you're no longer one of them." - Paddy McAloon, Prefab Sprout | |

Saw Carlos in concert last year here in Oz. He is unbelievable. Really great. 4 ppl out there who luv his work, believe me, this man is even better when u hear him "live".....and that is always a magical thing. | |

This afternoon I was listening to his "Supernatural" duet with Eric Clapton, "The Calling." From beginning to end, Carlos is BURNING!!! | |

I really wish they would remaster the following Santana albums...
*** Borboletta(1974)---this is my favorite Santana album,and I always recommend it to people who are just beginning to explore his rich catalog. *** Amigos (1976)---by the mid-70s,Carlos was exploring funk and R&B,and on this album,he gets funkier than ever before. *** Festival (1977)---my second favorite Santana album,this one is incredible! "Reach Up" is just mindblowing.I played this track for a friend who wasn't really into Santana,and this song made her a fan. So far,Sony/Legacy has done a wonderful job remastering most of the essential Santana albums from the 70s (the first three,plus 'Welcome','Love Devotion Surrender',Caravanserai' and 'Moonflower'),so I hope they don't stop there.Eventually,it would be cool to get another box set,filled with more rarities (The 3-CD 'Dance Of The Rainbow Serpent' box set is nice,but I want more rare stuff,and live recordings). | |

I recently had the priviledge of being introduced to Divine Light. Its made up of songs from Illuminations as well as Love Devotion Surrender. Bill Laswell basically left all of the music intact , but added a few atomospherics here and there to make the songs flow into one another. It is a beautiful peice of music. N.E.W.S reminds me of this. If youre into Santana's more meditive side then you will really enjoy this.
peace. | |

peace.  'Divine Light' is incredible,isn't it? I'd like to see Bill Laswell do this to a few other Santana albums,such as 'Silver Dreams,Golden Reality'(1979) or 'Caravanserai'(1972).
speaking of Santana,he's back in the studio working on a new album.The original plan was to release an instrumental CD called 'Hymns',but from what I've heard,Arista really wants another "pop" album from him.So it looks like 'Hymns' might be put on hold,at least for the time being. | |
