Master Calos Santana

"Santana" is the eponymous debut album by the latin rock band Santana. Consisting largely of instrumental music, the album was highly anticipated following the band's performance at the Woodstock Festival in 1969. At the time of its recording, Santana was a free-form jam band, but would later change their style to include more conventional songwriting. The album peaked at #4 on the Billboard 200 pop albums chart and featured the hit singles "Jingo" and "Evil Ways". In 2003, Santana was ranked #149 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time.

The third Carlos Santana solo album marks a surprising turn toward 1950s rock & roll and Tex-Mex, with covers such as Bo Diddley's "Who Do You Love" and Chuck Berry's title song. Produced by veteran R&B producers Jerry Wexler and Barry Beckett, the album features an eclectic mix of sidemen, including Booker T. Jones of Booker T & the MG's, Willie Nelson, and the Fabulous Thunderbirds. Havana Moon is a light effort, but it's one of Santana's most enjoyable albums, which may explain why it was also the best-selling Santana album outside the group releases in ten years.

"Santana's Greatest Hits" is a 1974 compilation album by Santana. It offers highlights from the group's first three albums. It is the band's best-selling compilation album, selling over 7 million copies in the U.S. alone while selling more than 8 million records worldwide.

"Shangó" is Santana's twelfth studio album and was released in August 1982. It peaked at #22 on the Billboard 200 chart and the single "Hold On" hit #15 on the Hot 100 singles chart. The album was produced by Bill Szymczyk, John Ryan, Carlos Santana, and Gregg Rolie.

"Festival" is a 1977 album from Santana. It was their eighth studio album. It peaked number twenty seven in the Billboard 200 chart and number twenty nine in the R&B Albums chart.

Santana's self-titled 1969 debut album is released as a multi-channel quad SACD Hybrid edition for the first time by Sony Japan. Converted from the original 1974 Quadraphonic master to DSD, plus the stereo mix mastered from the latest remastering.

"Freedom" is the fourteenth studio album by Santana. By this recording, Santana had nine members, some of which had returned after being with the band in previous versions. "Freedom" moved away from the more poppy sound of the previous album, "Beyond Appearances" and back to the band's original Latin rock.

"Spirits Dancing in the Flesh" it's Santana's 15th and final studio album for Columbia Records. It's hardly a surprise that a brief uplifting message from Carlos Santana accompanies "Spirits Dancing in the Flesh". What is unusual is the message's placement: just below the note dedicating the album to junior-welterweight boxing champion Julio Cesar Chavez. Now that, like the album itself, is yin and yang at its finest. It reached eighty-five in the Billboard 200.

"Corazón" is Santana's 22nd studio album. It was produced by Lester Mendez, and features collaborations with musicians such as Gloria Estefan, Ziggy Marley, Juanes, and Cindy Blackman.
