Santana

Hot and humid New Orleans weather has been screaming for Latino music, so, naturally, I chose to listen to some old Santana. After listening for a while, I realized that I did not know anything about the origins of the band. I decided to pull up the Santana page on my favorite website, allmusic. I discovered that the band's famed guitarist, Carlos Santana, is Mexican born. He became involved with the music scene by playing gigs at Tijuana clubs and bars before he moved to California. For those of you who have never listened to Santana's old stuff, check some of it out at the aforementioned link. You won't be disappointed.
