I guess this is a very rare clip of Santana in Africa. I was only 11 @ the time and living in Swaziland. My mother had only just bought there 1st 3 albums and we were hooked

Great video. These guys got that great sound without all the effects pedals today's players seem to need.

@ragdad007 LOL sound effects were the big thing in those days. Carlos was very sublets with the sound effects but got known for the use of sustaining a note indefinitely. Most guitarists could not do a long sustain without getting feedback. I personally loved the way he would blend guitar notes with the keyboard sounds on tunes like Europa, Jugando and Dance sister dance

Funny, these guys probably had more in common with the music of West Africa than the major soul acts that comprised the majority of the Soul to Soul festival.

SANTANA IS THE BEST

[mindytinkerberg]

@MicrosoftsourceCode Yes. I have. He friended me on FB. Very cool person, and yeah he looks like a 61 yr old man, nothing wrong with that. He never gave up music and took another vocation. Music is still in his heart and soul! Peace!

what i learned from santa is that lead guitar is not all about speed. its about making music with the notes that you play with the band behind you. you only should apply speed when necessary, or when the music calls for it IE to add a little aggression in the progression of sound. its not all about you the guitar player, its about your music and the audience listening to the guitar and getting entranced. which is what carlos is good at.
