Carlos Augusto Alves Santana (born July 20, 1947), known simply as Carlos Santana or Santana, is a Grammy Award-winning Mexican-born American Latin rock musician and guitarist.

He became famous in the late 1960s and early 1970s with his band, the Santana Blues Band, going mostly under the title "Santana," which created a highly successful blend of salsa, rock, blues, and jazz fusion. Their sound featured his often high-pitched and distorted guitar lines set against Latin American instrumentation such as timbales and congas. Santana continued to work in these forms over the following decades, and experienced a sudden resurgence of popularity and critical acclaim in the late 1990s.

Over his career he has sold an estimated 85 million albums worldwide.

    Santana in the news

    This is definitely a top 10 record of all time…Sonically, instrumentally, it can hardly be matched. The song “Power and the Glory” was sampled by Madlib. Imagine King Crimson’s Red mixed with Mahvavishnu Orchestra, Pink Floyd, Herbie Hancock, Santana, and Voivod’s Nothingface. The drums…the drum sound is PERFECT. This is what all drums should...

    check out his new shoes line!

    He’s picked up three straight victories and allowed just two earned runs in his last 21 innings away from the Metrodome. Few starters have dominated an opponent like New York’s Mike Mussina against the Twins. The right-hander is an incredible 20-5 with a 3.14 ERA in 29 career starts against Minnesota. Mussina pitched relatively well in June.
