Carlos Santana received an honorary PhD degree in music from my Alma Matter Occidental College in 2006. He also performed with his son's band Salvador Santana Band who invited Carlos to perform. One of the songs they played was El Farol in memory of Carlos' father.

  • @nevajoseph "El Farol" means "the lighthouse", it was the only guidance the ships had in ancient times to reach land when they were up at the sea.

  • I have loved this so ever since the first time I heard it. I didn't know what it was about but there was something about it that just hit me like "wham". I always wondered and tried to research what "el farol" means but got nowhere until today. It came from a real raw place. That's why it speaks so much to me. I love that it's so emotional and organic. What better way to honor the memory of someone you love than through song if that's your craft

  • How can someone dislike this :-) Amazing :-)

  • @Guitar2GodsGLory Whoa horsey! I have studied your theology so understand the nature of it, but to other people, you may as well as said through the spleen of Jesus Christ. Start with the cool socialist stuff, then ease them into all that horrible crucifixion ordeal. Whew! HELLO?!? Can some one find me one religion that does not have some kind of violence at is core? (No offense, old chap. Jesus is fine man to follow. Even Thomas Jefferson loved his social message, as do I) How about Buddah?

  • Dr. Carlos you deserve it.

  • WOOOOOOOOW  T_T

  • @Guitar2GodsGLory
