What a charming documentary on this legendary band. Nothing was too staged and they played from the heart.
No celebrity nonsense like today. These guys were and still are gifted musicians . So so clever and it is a joy to watch.
I never get bored of watching early Santana stuff. Thank you for posting this gem from time gone by.
Spot on , the greatist ever era for Santana , he was with McLaughlin in this period , and its free from the pop elements which pervade their modern iteration. I much p-refer Carlos nowdays when he's playing more serious music with John McLaughlin and his band. The huge selling album Supernatural is mostly pop with only one or two very average tracks, the trio of albums , Caravanserai , Welcome and Borboletta are in my opinion the best the Santana band recorded , but alas not big sellers , i like the Love Devotion & Surrender with John McLaughlin and Illuminations with Alice Coltrane.
ua-cam.com/video/r22L0qRk7_8/v-deo.html
This is live from the Lotus, welcome and borboletta era
Never ever get bored.
@@petersmith3953 That's great . We both have the same picks for favorite albums with Carlos. He did a solo on one of Flora Purim's albums in 1974, while playing the Gibson L6-S. Great solo in same vibe he had at that time.
I was in Buenos Aires concert at San Lorenzo stadium, great time, one of my favourites musician ever!!!, thanks for upload.

yo tambien , pero en l Luna era muy joven y mucho no me acuerdo.....quizas el pico musical de Santana claramente influenciado por Miles..........
The last 5 minutes are just insane- have never seen a group of musicians so zoned into what they are doing..Totally brilliant. I could watch this version of touisant l,ovetute every day and still be amazed.Thanks for posting
allegria
Carlos was so intense and sincere in his convictions during this time not to mention at the peak of his musical prowess. Just remember that it was around this time that he and the New Santana Band had just recorded "Welcome" which features the epic track "Flame Sky." Carlos' sense of musicality, phrasing and creativity was off the charts.
this is IMO the beginning of the most creative and best period for Santana....Caravan., Welcome and Borboletta.
Yes
Grateful for this being up. Played this for my parents who taught me about chepito❤️❤️❤️
The best Santana band! Peak for the man and his music
This IS the greatest band., meaning lineup of musicians in Santana history ! So much combined energy and brilliance. Anyone who saw this collection of musicians live has known this for decades, long before UA-cam let the rest of the world see. Thanks to all who share these videos.
Doug Rauch on bass on lived for 29 years.....I watched him play and wondered how someone so young could be that good. He playing is still unsurpassed in a style that was uniquely his. Richard Kermode was brilliant in Latin jazz, RIP......and he and all others here complemented Carlos' playing as good as it gets. The music and chemistry is timeless.
This was one fine band. Carlos was one of the era's greatest guitar players.
Lotus+. Thank you, thank you, thank you for posting. I can't believe this has been on UA-cam so long before i stumbled across it!
Have you ever seen so much positive energy between a band and their crowd ? I watched this again after not seeing it for a while and I still wonder what would make amazingly talented musicians such as bassist Doug Rauch, keyboardist Richard Kermode and vocalist Leon Thomas leave the band about 3 months later ? They added so much to this sound. Was it taken for granted ? I don't know, but it was never again at this peak that I ever saw.
I wish there was a video of this tour made without all the side editing. It would be great to have that along this available....but I do feel blessed to be able to see this part of Santana's history. Great to have seen it live.
After listening to and loving Lotus for so many years, what a JOY it is to see these beautiful people in action performing that transcendent music:)
All I can say is WOW. Thank you for posting this lost jewel!
I saw them In Berlin on Nov. 9th, 1972 Great show for my first concert as a kid.
The last part of this concert was filmed in San Salvador, El Salvador, as stated in the video Viva Santana, I wasnt born yet, but I do recognize the venue, thanks for uploading.
O.M.F.G! This is the most unbelievable concert video I think I've ever seen and I've seen hundreds of them in every format. The filming is phenomenal, the sound excellent, the performance alternately blistering and gorgeous, the audience ecstatic and enraptured, the whole event captured and presented with such artistry... it's hard to believe a show like this even happened... just magical in all respects. I can't wait to rewatch the entire show and pass it on to all my music buddies. God bless Carlos Santana for all he has given and continues to give to the world.
Blaine, you nailed it. This is it. This really is incredible. Peace.
So you like it?
THANKS A LOT for this , I Love Santana & His Band ( especially of that period ) and I Love Leon Thomas ( fortunately the only video of him I've found on UA-cam ) .
La minute de silence avant la musique c'est déjà du Santana!
merci Carlos . Tu m'accompagnes depuis tant d'années!
Excellent post. At his spiritually, creative pinnacle - all the members of his band. Love Doug Rauch on bass, T. Coster on keyboard, great percussionists…funky.
OMG, awesome footage of his best creative period!
I t’s a beautiful way to communicate,share your voices and blends of tones like a sonnet or psalm,joint work giving to those of us who listen and dance…joy❤😅😊thank you! Been listening to you all for years 🎉
What an incredible finale! This version of Toussaint L'overture is the best I have ever heard!
Toussaint L'overture was fan fucking tastic! I'm playing Lotus now. Can't wait to hear it again.
This is the Santana band at their all time peak through New Years Eve at Winterland to close out this great year of music. The energy and chemistry was never the same, IMHO. After Doug, Richard, and Leon Thomas left....Michael Shrieve quickly became disenchanted and would leave a few months later in 1974. You can't have Doug and Richard gone without a huge gap to fill and that ...magic...for lack of a better word, never happened again.
Agreed but i do like the live performances on Moonflower especially Black Magic Woman which is played with tremendous energy and faster tempo , but the studio tracks let it down , i like Moonflower itself and El Morocco but most of the rest are just to poppy , i'm surprised that Carlos has'nt recorded a Salsa album along the lines of the lovely Gitano from Amigos. After Moonflower it went to rats with the awful Inner Secrets album , and more recently the Supernatural huge seller but totally mediocre .
That's one way to look at it.
I prefer to see it as, everything is always changing and transforming. That supreme band happened, it is eternal.
In my heart and soul forever. In these recordings.
Carlos himself acknowledged the incredible line-up of this group.
But there have been many others. Always evolving and expressing the music differently.
Always supreme melody and rhythm.
Viva Santana!
And the outstanding group of 1973!
@@prajnachan333 Yes , everything changes, but not always for the better. I've seen other lineups, but this "Lotus band" was on a whole different level, and was, IMHO, the summit of all the Santana bands. I remember leaving Santana concerts in later years feeling unfulfilled. The fizzy evolved and lost its fizz...
A flat fizzy.
I love the original band too, as they were on their way up, full of energy, creativity and unafraid to explore, just not on the same page as far as direction.
I'm a Gregg Rolie fan too and I think the original Journey was exactly what Gregg wanted to do and they were great at the time.
Santana had his new lineup with his heavenly calling, and I think that's exactly what he wanted to do and it showed. They were amazing.
After the break up of the " Lotus" band, there were holes in the sound and the magic ingredient was missing. Within a couple years or so, sales were dropping off and Carlos was under too much pressure from the record companies and management to be a trend follower instead of a creator like he was in '73. Thanks for reading and God bless.

Could anyone share names of each brilliant person on each instrument? Thx!
@@barclaypalmer Sure, Carlos playing his Cherry Sunburst 72 Les Paul Deluxe through the fantastic Mesa Boogie Mk 1 for his solos......Leon Thomas on lead vocals and percussion ( amazing soul, powerful voice and commanding stage presence ) Legendary percussionists Chepito Areas on timbales and Armando Perraza on congas, Richard Kermode on keyboards.....Hammand B3, Rhodes ( from Buffalo, NY who also played with Janis's Big Brother & the Holding Co) Tom Koster, Hammond B3, Rhodes, Moog).....Mike Shrieve on drums, Doug Rauch on customized Fender bass with additional Gibson (mudbucker) pickup nearest the neck. This bass was also played by David Brown in Santana during the months before he left. What a line up !.
Mike Shrieve at 54:40 .. holy shit !! this dude was as great as Carl Palmer or anybody; no wonder his Woodstock solo in "Soul Sacrifice" is probably the most famous drum solo ever :)
As it very well should be.
Agreed 100%. The solo here is mind blowing. I knew he was amazing but not this far above "Amazing".
Hes a god
Michael's been one of my favorite drummers since I first saw the band in 74.
Most drum solos are banging. This is as close to Buddy Rich for this generation. This is music!!
The sheer joy of Tom Coster as he plays on Touissant Loveture is magical to watch.
este fue el concierto mas impresionante que vi en mi juventud en Buenos Aires Argentina. Alli estuve fumando y dialogando con Chepito en el hall del teatro de la avenida 9 de Julio un domingo por la noche..Inolvidable. con inciencios por todo el ambiente.. si genios genios genios eternos! gracias

what an awesome show THANK YOU SANTANA AND BAND BLESS YOU AND US ALL
Thank God this got documented, the music and the other footage as well. Considering how uncommercial it was in a record company's eyes - although try telling that to the people dancing during Free Angela - it's a wonder that folks took the time to film and record this. I love Lotus, and I love the video from Japan, but this adds something to that. It might be the crowd, and it might have something to do with the sound, but these performances seem a tad dirtier than on Lotus. An example would be Coster's solo on Free Angela. And how about that bass solo by Rauch? I don't think that's on Lotus. Thank you for posting.
En 1973 Santana tocó en Buenos Aires en el, por entonces, “Gasómetro” de Boedo: El estadio del Club San Lorenzo de Almagro. Un hito para la institución que hoy forma parte del recuerdo…
CBS editó un LP donde en el sobre estaba la foto del estadio.
Simplemente este recuerdo… Yo era muy chico...
Han pasado tantos años que no recordaba que habían tocando en la cancha de San Lorenzo porque yo los ví en el Luna Park, tenía 15 años y era la época de Caravanserai. Viajé 200 kms sin que mis padres se enteraran je je
Estuve en San Lorenzo. Fue tremendo!!!

amazing legendary band, thank you for posting this ! ... Que en paz descanse Armando Peraza que aparte de ser tan gran musico se ve que era el ser mas alivianado del mundo y a quien Carlos siempre cito como una de sus mas grandes fuentes de inspiracion :) ... R.I.P. Armando, a super cool spiritual man who Carlos always cited as one of his greatest sources of inspiration (many smiles)
My god Armando’s resume is extensive and impressive. Played with Machito ,Tito Puente, Cal Tjader Dizzy Gillespie Arnet Coleman and many other Jazz greats. However his legacy will be remembered for his contribution and longevity to the Santana Band. RIP
At 40:31 is some of the best vintage footage of the amazing jazz vocalist Leon Thomas. Too bad he's not featured more on the "Lotus" album recorded on the same tour in Japan.
The best ever Santana vocalist was Gregg Rolie. All the other ones are just not on par (and I remain polite).
the definitive lotus edition has more stuff
Espectacular Santana y su banda, lo mejor de lo mejoren una fusión afro-latino que emerge con una fuerza y un sentimiento único que solo ellos podían realizar semejante ejecución...
The last 6 minutes are truly incredible.
Most people think that his drum solo at Woodstock in Soul Sacrifice was the greatest drum solo ever. He was only 20 years old. Hard to believe that was 50 years ago. He is 70 now and lives in Seattle.
This is pure joy !
I`ve seen Santana live 6 or 7 times whatever lineup he has is always great, you can`t say that about many bands,he is that good and surrounds himself with top musicians who love to play music, not just another gig for a payday !
There are a few reasons why Michael Shrieve is firing on all cylinders here. At this point in Santana's career Mike was the catalyst within the band for the change in direction. Carlos said that every member of the original group had different musical influences. Michael Shrieve was at heart a jazz drummer and was more than ready to join the fusion of jazz and rock which was still a novelty in the early seventies. I would suspect that he felt more at home in this outfit. They also cleaned up their image by quitting drugs, waking up early to meditate and of course cutting their hair. This undoubtedly contributed to a more pure vision and focus. Lastly this film highlights concerts from their Central American tour where even Mike himself expresses in the film that the crowds seem to thirst for the music more because of the Latin elements in the group. As anyone who preformes live knows, the more inspired the audience is and the more energy they give to the band the deeper the artist will dig within to give their best.
They didn't quit pot.
Spoken like a true musician, amen. Incidentally, thanks also for the background on this period in the band's history, appreciate it!
@@pardyhardly I don't doubt that.
@@pardyhardly I'm really talking more about the psychedelics.

the best santana band ever and the best carlos himself.enjoy
Thanks for sharing this, gracias
I saw this band back in 1972 or 1973, the Caravanserai tour, it was awesome, I was only disappointed that they did not play Song of the Wind. I do remember 'Los playing "Fool on the Hill" in its entirety, not just a quote. He was on fire, the whole band was.
Yes... During that time period, Carlos would put the melody of Fool on the Hill and insert it in the quiet part of Incident at Nesabur. Beautifully done, and the tone of his guitar was never better.
RIP Leon Thomas, Doug Rauch, Armando Peraza, Richard Kermode . . .
magnifique , merci

Why is it taken so long for me to discover this? I'll comment again after I've immersed myself in absolute nirvana
Michael Shrieve 😍🤧😭💘
Esto es una joya
Thank God for the Santana Band’s belief of unity peace and love. Otherwise they could have easily started a revolution in that part of the world
That's a great point. I think some of the governments in that region were a little worried what could transpire.
Agreed about this being probably the best Santana line-up ever. And Carlos' playing was just ethereal! I would have been a bit young to see them in 73' - my first show was 76' at the Shrine in L.A. when I was 15. I have seen them at least 80 times since then. At 68 years young, Carlos is still THE BEST guitar player on the planet - in my humble opinion! :o)
+Richard Paniagua I disagree. See my comments above.
I was lucky to be born in 1952, and since 1969 been a fan of Santana. This was certainly the best line-up of the band.Unfortunately I was living in D.C. ,but my younger brother saw his shows in Rio and say they were memorable.
Wow, the sheer power and energy of music to stir up the emotions....
Seeing Richard Kermode on keyboards sent chills down my spine …..
Beautiful Carlos Santana ♡♡♡♡♡
rare thank you
Amo el periodo hippie de Santana
So beautiful to see Tom Costet playing outdoors with his children those days , also teaching them how to play music, vs just handing children an i Pad.
the first movie that i saw back in 75 that when i got hook with this music and another words i got the santana virous
One of the best Santana bands. I remember the 3-record Japanese import, Lotus, on CBS Sony back in 75.
This is from that same world tour. There was a bootleg video of the Japan concerts that was horrible quality. Nice to have a decent video of that tour. Thanks to the uploader, whoever you are. The Tanglewood shows as well. Keep 'em coming.

Awesome. Santana's fusion period was the best.
enorme depuis 25 ans que je les decouvert quel kiff
This is THE best lineup in the bands history. The music puts me in a spell. Amazing and will never happen again.
Simon Pires wrong, the soul sacrifice, Abraxas, and III was the best.
How can someone's experience of music be "wrong"?
not only is Simon not wrong, he is so right, and anyone blessed enough to catch Santana live in 1973 knows, and that's nothing to take away from Gregg Rollie and the original band, as they were great too....but this is a whole different level.
I hate when people talk about "Best" . In terms of just plain technical proficiency and training, the original Santana band was probably the weakest, but their sound was revolutionary, and it caught people off guard and turned them on, so to them that lineup will always be Best. This lineup, for me, was the one that took a kid past popular rock and roll and made me start listening to Coltrane and Miles and Gabor Szabo and all of the influences that Carlos had, and then I had to give that music a context so I could understand it and that is when I learned to really listen to music, and hear what the musicians were saying, not just picking up on a riff or a rhythm. I don't care for the Santana band as much as I used to, they seem to have become almost a Latin-Style R&B Revue, but I am indebted to the Great Carlos Santana for opening my mind and heart to the true power of musical conversation, and how it can free emotions. I saw this tour in '73 when they came to Hartford CT and my life was changed forever. After that show, the bar for excellence was set pretty high. I am so lucky to have seen that magic surpassed in Providence Rhode Island in 1975, Santana toured with Clapton and several members of Santana came on stage with Carlos to join Clapton for the encore, "Eyesight to the Blind" followed with a segue into "Why does love got to be so sad". Went on for 20 minutes, an ultimate catharsis.When they finally finished, the crowd roared forever, probably 5 minutes beyond the lights coming on inside the arena. It got recorded, you can find it on Clapton's box set Live in the 70's
Mark Silowitz thanks man and you're right about me saying 'best'. It's just my favourite era and line-up. Peace
Was in 1989 when I heard the amazing performance of samba pa ti , in a store en Mexico I was amazed with no money in my pocket, so I have to stole the video I was a kid
hace años Santana estuvo en Nicaragua Cuando Chepito Areas.estaba en el Grupo
This is the most I’ve ever heard Armando talk seriously. The afro Cuban element in Santana comes from him Raul Rekow Chepito and Orestes Vilato ….
I had a lot of respect for Armando. He had a very commanding presence on stage and very charismatic without even trying to be.
Armando Perraza the soul of the Santana Band …..

I've always thought that too , so you're not the only one , plus modern recordings seem to bury his guitar in noise , and their current material is just pop.
This was when the Santana Band was still good.
@eddy71454 Bro I don’t get you ….
incredible Tamborim rhythm of carlos 15.00
How right you are.
thank yo
Santana had the humility to let others sing his songs while he concentrated on the music. Check out him and John Lee Hooker playing The Healer. Incredible!
Wow!
What's the song that kicks in after that great drum solo @ 1hr.00min38secs? sounds a bit like Herbie Hancock and the Headhunters.
and that clip of the great Doug Rauch (R.I.P.) slapping the bass then jumping in his sports car (don't know what make that is?) then buying a camera to take some snaps and look around, is ethereal. I personally love the background clips as well as the concert clips. Gives you a real feel of the 70s. Great upload!
Doug Rauch had an awesome technique ! Many Bass players tried to copy him but never succeeded !He was a true master.
... By the way his car was a CITROËN model SM
Coolest guy ever in the coolest car ever.
The song is Free Angela. It's on the Lotus album as well.
@@D0CT0RS0UL So true. His playing has been my measuring stick my whole life for bass. When I'd play a gig and listen to a recording later, even if it was just a riff, if I thought it sounded like Doug, I has happy.

FUSION with Jimi Hendrix fully involved.
Most of the band memebers were huge Hendrix fans. Doug Rauch, although not with Santana at Woodstock, knew Jimi from Greenwich Village, NY were Doug was from.
this was carlos' lespaul period after the gibson sg he played in Woodstock. In the early '80's, he changed to a yamaha sg 3000, before finishing with the current PRS - Santana model....
stoofbuis Yeah. This is his best tone, in my opinion (& playing). The PRS is too nasal & he's always overdriven these days. Back then most of the sustain was just volume & proximity to the amps.
@@houseofhits1 I agree 100%. The PRS sounds like it has a sinus infection. The Les Paul he used here has that great singing tone that cut right through the mix. I love the original Mesa Boogie Mk1 he used at the time too. Great combination.
there's that cat Doug on bass - he is a trip
Doug Rauch, a bassist's bassist. He pioneered the use of a double-thumb technique in bass playing in the early seventies, playing a heavily modded Fender Jazz bass, one of the few musicians at that time using a McKintosh pre-amp through beefy Ampeg amps. Unfortunately, he was covertly into drugs which resulted in his overdose death in 1979. We lost a legend that day.
@@forgottengrooves6073 He's my all time favorite bassist. I was playing in SF Bay Area at the time and was on the road at the time. I didn't find out until much later that he had passed. I just remember people saying that they didn't know where he'd disappeared to. Anyway, I remember Doug using Peavey amps and cabinets during the Santana days.
¿Y lo del concierto de Santana en Valencia, Venezuela?
OK, OK… Ya dejen de presionarme, ya les voy a contar lo del concierto de Santana, aquí por estos lares. Yo estaba presente, fui a las presentaciones en Valencia y a la de Caracas, lo viví, no fue que me lo contaron.
“SANTANA” y por Valencia, “UN CAMINO” de Amhed Ramos.
Placido Garrido en la radio, lo anunciaba y nos decía: “Ya viene… ¡Tranquilo!”
La gira de Santana arrancó en Maracaibo donde alternaron con la gente del grupo “Guaco”, esto fue el 05 de octubre de 1973. “Carlos Santana en la Plaza de Toros de Maracaibo”. Al día siguiente la banda visitante viajó llevándose como regalo unos “Furrucos” (La zambomba o Runcho española), esos tambores con una varilla incorporada que se utilizan en navidad para las parrandas y para tocar “Gaitas” maracuchas. Mike Shrieve, el baterista de la agrupación visitante, se llevó varios de estos furrucos y tamboras para ver de qué forma los integraba al sonido de percusión de la banda. Radio Capital transmitió por vez primera, en cadena y para todo el país este concierto. De Maracaibo se vinieron directo a Valencia. Se presentaron en la Plaza de toros, Monumental el día 06 de octubre de 1973 y las entradas se vendieron a 40, 30, 20 y 10 Bs. Se presentaron junto al grupo “Un Camino” y asistieron aproximadamente unas 40 mil personas. Es significativo señalar aquí, que la banda “Un Camino” de nuestro querido amigo Amhed Ramos, fueron los Invitados como teloneros para el concierto de Carlos Santana, “El Santanazo”, pero no pudieron o no se atrevieron a tocar ya que el público a nivel de histeria colectiva y muy agresivos pedían a gritos la presencia de “Santana” en el escenario, no permitiendo que ningún otro se montara en tarima… La banda de Rock valenciana “Un Camino”, integrada por Amhed Ramos en la primera guitarra y voz, Alfredo García en el violonchelo, Fernando Latouche en el bajo, Alex Pelayo en la batería, Rafael “El Gato” Blanco en el piano e Iván “El Negro” Salgado en el violín, NO pudo presentarse como teloneros de Santana, en el concierto de Valencia y cedieron el espacio a la banda visitante y se quedaron en el back stage como medida de seguridad, Amhed Ramos, el líder de la banda, lo prefirió así. El anis “El Mono” tenía enardecido al público tornándolo muy violento. Santana comenzó el Concierto de Valencia con una onda mística, en la que andaba en esos tiempos, una onda de música bastante hindú. La gente no quería ese tipo de música, se caldearon más los ánimos y se pusieron muy arrechos, todo el público comenzó a corear "Oye como va", "Oye como va, mi ritmo", "Oye como va". Los organizadores del evento estaban muy preocupados y le advirtieron a Santana que tocara sus canciones conocidas, pues sino la gente iba a comenzar a reventar y a destruir todo. Entonces el baterista de Santana, el gran “Mike Shireve” se acercó al micrófono y le dijo al público: “La música es lo único que puede tranquilizarnos” y comenzó a tocar un solo en la batería, que se emparentaba con el que triunfó en el festival de Woodstock, arrancó la fiesta, el maravilloso concierto, al instante Carlos Santana se incorporó con un punteo de su guitarra y arrancó, " Oye como va" y casi se cae la Monumental con los gritos. En la Monumental de Valencia, los tabacos de marihuana y los ácidos lisérgicos rodaban de mano en mano y con entera libertad. En la Arena, estaban los que habían pagado los tickets más caros, fumando marihuana y con botas de beber vino, de esas que se usan para las corridas de toros, pero llenas de whisky. Los de las gradas y a los del costado del escenario, estaban ocupados por tipos más malandros, que igual, fumaban marihuana, pero estaban bebiendo anís y muy enardecidos. Cuando comenzó el concierto, se cambiaron los papeles, los malandros invadieron la arena de una manera muy violenta y muchos de los de los que estaban en frente, tuvieron que irse para las gradas pues la cosa estaba muy heavy en la olla. Un par de hechos enlutaron el concierto, ya que quizás en ácido, un joven se lanzó desde la parte alta de la plaza de toros, como volando desde una altura mayor a los veinte metros y se estrelló contra el pavimento del estacionamiento, muriendo al instante y otro joven falleció en la “olla” apretado por la multitud, violenta y llena de “Anis el Mono”. En este concierto hubo unos 130 detenidos. Pero aparte de esto el concierto fue fabuloso. No hubo vigilancia, así que más de 40 mil personas estuvieron a su libre albedrio y en líneas generales la cosa no se tornó violenta. La marihuana apaciguó los ánimos e hizo que la banda tocara sin tanto terror. Sin dudas pudo ser peor. El diario “El Nacional” lo reseñó, “El olor a marihuana lo llenaba todo, la droga se consumía con entera y absoluta libertad”. Tom Closer el tecladista de la banda de Santana dijo que estuvo en medio del peligro y que vivió cosas buenas y cosas no tan buenas. Esas cosas no tan buenas, fueron experiencias que me gustaría olvidar. Es bueno recordar entre las cosas “buenas” para él, que este tecladista se enamoró en Caracas de una venezolana, justo de la novia del locutor y voz del concierto, Placido Garrido quien la llevó al evento y entonces ella dejó al locutor y se fue con su tecladista hacia Brasil, en donde continuaba la gira. La vida te da sorpresas, sorpresas te da la vida. Como bien dice Rubén Blades.
Algunas de las magníficas piezas de este concierto fueron: Soul Sacrifice, Black Magic Woman, Incident at Neshabur, Se Acabó, Samba pa ti, El Nicoya y la estupenda versión de la pieza de Tito Puente “Oye como va”. Rrrr, sabor, Oye como va, mi ritmo. Bueno pa´gozá, mulata. Oye como va, mi ritmo. Bueno pa´gozá, mulata.
