Santana

Carlos Santana, my favorite artist, just released a new cd: Santana all that i am. I am loving it!! Latin/Salsa is my favorite type of music. Santana's new cd does not fail to deliever. You can tell its a song by Santana when you hear his legendary skill on the guitar. Santana is the best guitaritst in the world. Any guitar, best guitarist hands down. He doesn't smash his guitar either like some knuckle-heads think is soo cool to do. Yes, Jimmy Hendrix was good. Santana, however, is awesome! So far my fave songs are track 3 I'm Feeling you featuring Michelle Branch(she was also on his cd Shaman) and the Wreckers. I also am really loving I am Sombody featuring will.I.am (Black Eyed Peas) track 6. Track 7, Con Santana, is also really good. I first starting listening to Santana back in high school, when Smooth featuring Rob Thomas hit the radio. I absolutly love this song! Then Maria Maria produced by Wyclef Jean came out. Migra and Corazon Espinado featuring Mana are also favorites. So naturally when Shamen hit the stores, I went out and bought it. My favorites on this Cd are You are my kind featuring Seal, Aye Aye Aye, and Hoy Es Adios featuring Alejandro Lerner. I was really excited when I found out that Santana was realeasing another cd! Cry Baby Cry featuring Sean Paul and Joss Stone is another great song. I highly recommend this cd! My father is also a big Santana fan, he has an older Santana: The Best of Santana. Great songs include Black Majic Woman, Jingo, Evil Ways (my marching band played this once, soo cool) and Oye Como Va (my cell phone ring at the moment). This Cd Santana all that i am is definately one of his best. Unlike some artist who produce two or three really good albums and then have some not so good ones, you can expect Santana to deliever hit after hit. This Cd does not dissapoint. So if you love Latin/Salsa music, then Santana is for you.
Carlos Santana Rocks!!!!!!
Update: Earlier I wrote that Santana didn't play electric guitar- my bad. I have now fixed that.

Would you believe that "Black Magic Woman" was actually a cover? I was surprised to learn that it was actually a Fleetwood Mac song that Santana covered on Abraxas.
