Carlos Santana
is a Mexican rock and roll and
jazz-rock guitarist,
originally from Autlan de Navarro, Jalisco. He became famous in the 1960s with his eponymous band Santana.
Carlos Santana's father was a mariachi violinist and young Carlos learned the violin originally, but switched to the guitar when he was eight years old. After a family move to Tijuana,
Santana began playing in clubs and bars; he remained in Tijuana when his family moved to San Francisco, California, but soon joined them. In
1966, he helped found the Santana Blues Band, eventually shortened to simply
Santana. The band started playing at the Fillmore West, where many
of the great San Francisco bands began. Santana's recording debut occurred on The Live Adventures of Mike Bloomfield and Al Kooper with Al Kooper and Mike
Bloomfield.
Soon signed to Columbia Records, Santana released a self-titled
album, Santana, the group at this point consisting of
Carlos Santana , Gregg Rolie , David Brown , Michael Shrieve , Jose Areas and Michael Carabello . On the tour to support
the album, the band played at Woodstock; the set was legendary
and vastly increased Santana's popularity. Santana became a huge hit, as did Abraxas and Santana III . The original Santana band then disbanded. Rolie went on to
become a founding member of Journey.
Carlos Santana used the name and a series of changing musicians to continue to tour around the country, releasing several
albums. During this period, Carlos took the name "Devadip", bestowed upon him by spiritual leader Sri Chinmoy. Many albums followed in the 1970s and 80s, including collaborations with Willie
Nelson, Herbie Hancock, Booker T. Jones, Wayne Shorter, Ron Carter and The Fabulous Thunderbirds. In 1991, Santana made a guest appearance on Ottmar Liebert's album "Solo Para Ti", on the songs "Reaching out 2 U" and a
cover of his own song, "Samba Pa Ti". He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1998.
Santana made a comeback in 1999 with the release of Supernatural, which included collaborations with Rob Thomas, Eric Clapton and Lauryn Hill. Supernatural was
Santana's best-selling album, reaching number one on the Billboard albums chart, and winning nine Grammy
Awards.
In 2002, Santana released Shaman, revisiting the
Supernatural format of guest artists including P.O.D., Seal, and Michelle Branch.
In 2005, Santana planned to release his latest album All That I Am, due out on June 14, which will include
guest artist Mary J. Blige.
