Thanks so much for the inspiration! This really chimes with inspirations I take for my independent music, it’s so nice to see this kind of work out there.
This album was Santana collaborating with other artists. It was called "Supernatural". Eric Clapton was on the record, as was Cee Lo Green, Lauren Hill, Dave Matthews and others. It's one of the biggest selling albums of all time and in 2000 it won 8 Grammys including Record of the Year and Best Pop Collaboration for this song, Album of the Year, Best Pop Album, Best Pop Performance for a Duo for "Maria Maria", Best Pop Instrumental for "El Farol", Best Rock Instrumental for "The Calling" with Clapton, and Best Rock Vocal by a Duo for "Put Your Lights On" (with Everlast). This was a HUGE album.
This is one of my fave Rob Thomas songs. Santana is the guitar master for many years now. Rob Thomas started with the group Matchbox 20 if you want to check them out.
Hey Marie! Have you seen the Santana Video "Maria Maria with G&B Product" ...? You'll get to see Santana sing a little bit and there's a lot of Santana solo guitar and dancing, etc. You should really check it out! Thanks.
You can find the lyrics here www.google.com/search?q=song+smooth+carlos+lyrics&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&hl=en-us&client=safari Watched you enjoy the music, even though you didn't understand the sung lyrics, and that's important. If the music moves you, that's good. As far as not understanding the lyrics. I'm almost completely deaf, and that's how it has been my whole life. Great reaction Marie! ✌️😎
My best concert ever( seen alot), outdoor Austin 1985! Unreal!! Seen Clapton and David Gilmour! For softer solos, favorite is Andy Latimer of Camel! Ice, Stationary traveller both live! Nothing Beats SRV!! Too Young to have seen Hendrix, except on Here. Prefer SRV!! What a loss! Kicked heroine, died in a helicopter crash.... God has left us!!
SRV was amazing, life cut short. he got a friend of mine into the blues, and its taken him around the world. the guy is awesome. a jewel from small town iowa!
Carlos Santana "The Latin Guitar God" his sound spanning since the 60's. Brought the Latin sound back into Rock and Roll. As you have seen he plays the guitar so effortlessly. Carlos is one of my favorite guitar players of all time. So happy to see you bring in some of Latin / California style to your channel. Till the next time. ✌ N ❤
Marie, You'll love his "Evil Ways", "Oye Como Va", "Everybody's Everything and song featuring Michelle Branch "Game Of Love". Carlos doesn't normally sing, but he makes the guitar sing!! Its a guitar strap that holds the guitar.
That is a guitar strap that holds the guitar. And when you were second guessing yourself about "More clear/clearer"? You can say either one. We love your channel! Keep up the great work!
True that.. This is the 1st time I've found her channel kind of by accident . I left a very long comment for her which are normally never leave comments that long. I notice she really wanted to understand what Rob Thomas was saying because she mentioned it over and over as she can't understand. I just gave her a little background on him and that he is a Southerner and has a little draw when he sings and stretches words . But you I'm with you she is trying to learn and I can only imagine how hard it would be because I speak 2 languages but there is some Spanish rock vet I just do not understand. So even if I know the language A lot of times I just don't understand certain Spanish Dialects in songs and especially if his hip hop. Have a good holiday and peace
Hi, sweet Marie. Glad you had a go at this song and you liking it. Santana is one of a very few band leaders that likes to stay behind and give the chance for others to shine. Although he writes music and lyrics, he prefers not to sing. In the 70's during a concert, some lifestyle guru was so impressed with his skills that he gave Carlos the name of "Devadip", meaning "The enlighted one". Carlos in an enterview said that if he doesn't "feel" the emotion of a guitar solo, then the public will feel the same way. One word of advice: pause the video 2 or 3 times, give some reaction, slightly rewind (a few seconds will be enough), and continue. This way, the video will not be blocked. Continue exploring the wonderful world of Santana, and you will be amazed. Kind regards and stay safe.
Quick story from something I've read even though I'm a young guy I do research on Music. So I wasn't really around or I was a little baby when this came out. I'm 22 and I think this came out in 2000 or 1999. What I wanted to mention is well was doing his research for myself I realized that Rob Thomas at that time was on a streak of writing hits for other people. For 3 or 4 years he he won't got the song writer of the year a wood because everything that do whose writing for other people was becoming a hit Practically. The cool thing is the story about this out of The mouth of Carlos I saw in an interview. He knew Rob Thomas was riding the best music at that time for other people so he came to Rob Thomas Asking could he write lyrics for this but he never won and Rob Thomas to sing. She wanted someone like George Michael. He said I was looking towards someone like George Michael type voice. Apparently, Rob Thomas after writing the lyrics asked Carlos well can you at least listen to me Singing To this song track? Long story short you see what you got. But that was a cool story To me because this song I cannot see another person singing. But again on this Lee he did not want Rob Thomas to see because honestly he didn't dislike the voice but he just didn't fake it was the voice he wanted on this song. I just think that's really cool and you a check the interview well is kind of cool because right Carlos and Tana is so freakin quiet that it becomes mysterious almost. So if I catch a video where hes actually in an interview answering questions that is dope to me. Make Christmas happy Hanukkah or just happy holidays to you
Marie, I loved your reaction video. And yes, you said it correctly, it's "clearer". Carlos is an ICON that has been around since the 60s. His spanish input into his guitar playing is so unique that is very easily recognizable! He is a LEGEND in the world of rock music even though he crosses many genres and has done so many collaborations with singers from different musical backgrounds. Glad you have found and enjoy Carlos Santan!
It's called a guitar strap. This one is a custom made of [I assume] embroidered beads or fabric with seashell lined on leather. Carlos rarely sings except for some chorus or background vocals. He has gone through several lead singers over the years and has collaborated with many guest vocals like Rob Thomas on this particular song. Carlos' guitar does all of his singing for him ;)
Have seen Carlos in concert many times in my life.he always puts on a fantastic show.i think he accepts that his voice is rather average so he always gets great singers to work with him.his guitar work his beautiful.also going to recommend,again,Stevie Ray Vaughan,texas flood,live at the el macambo.i think its the greatest guitar playing ever caught on video.i think it will amaze you.stay safe and strong dear
Carlos Santana played at the Woodstock festival in 1969 (51 years ago!) and was apparently one of the best acts despite being on the drug mescaline. He was hallucinating the whole time, but played brilliantly. He knew the songs so well he didn't even need to think about it, his fingers just knew what to play. They call it 'muscle memory'. 🎸
The singer is messing around with the vowel sounds so it is not surprising that you are having understanding. As a native English speaker, I am having trouble understanding him sometimes as well.
I believe it's called a guitar strap. I did like the live version and it's been a while since I had seen the official video so I don't recall it. The singer is famous on his own and Carlos does not sing (at least that I am not aware of him singing). Rob Thomas was popular in in the 1990s, I believe and in the live video it looked to me that the women in the audience knew the lyrics and were probably interested in seeing Rob Thomas as I think he was considered handsome. Nice reaction overall and your English is fine, sometimes you second guess yourself on how to say some words but we know what you mean.
This is one of my favorite songs, Frenchie. Wonderful reaction. If you thought the guitar in this reaction was good, you should react to Stevie Ray Vaughan - Voodoo Child.
Man, it's a hot one Like seven inches from the midday sun Well, I hear you whisper and the words melt everyone But you stay so cool My muñequita, my Spanish Harlem Mona Lisa You're my reason for reason The step in my groove And if you said this life ain't good enough I would give my world to lift you up I could change my life to better suit your mood Because you're so smooth And it's just like the ocean under the moon Oh, it's the same as the emotion that I get from you You got the kind of lovin' that can be so smooth, yeah Give me your heart, make it real, or else forget about it But I'll tell you one thing If you would leave it'd be a crying shame In every breath and every word I hear your name calling me out Out from the barrio You hear my rhythm on your radio You feel the turning of the world, so soft and slow It's turning you round and round And if you said this life ain't good enough I would give my world to lift you up I could change my life to better suit your mood Because you're so smooth Well, and it's just like the ocean under the moon Well, it's the same as the emotion that I get from you You got the kind of lovin' that can be so smooth, yeah Give me your heart, make it real, or else forget about it Well, and it's just like the ocean under the moon Oh, it's the same as the emotion that I get from you You got the kind of lovin' that can be so smooth, yeah Give me your heart, make it real, or else forget about it Or else forget about it Or else forget about it Oh, let's don't forget about it Give me your heart, make it real Let's don't forget about it (hey) Let's don't forget about it (now, oh, now, oh) Let's don't forget about it (now, now, now, oh) Let's don't forget about it (hey, now, now, oh) Let's don't forget about it (hey, hey, hey)
Carlos is a Guitar Icon (God), Rob Thomas has his own Band called “Matcbox 20”. Check out Santana with Michelle Brandt in “The Game of Love” (excellent Video). Love you! SanJoseBob
Carlos has his guitars custom made by a luthier located in eastern Maryland... not only does Carlos make his guitar sing, but he also makes it cry. He is a master.
Carlos Santana is a living Legend from the Jimmy Hendrix Times/ 60s 70s! From California ! A Latin Rock culturally colorful twist of sounds combined 🎶❣️👍
This was Santana's first album in a decade or so... and he invited some hot artists to collaborate on this work. What's amazing is that some of the guest artists had their biggest hits ever with Carlos on guitar. I bought the DVD after hearing Rob Thomas and Carlos release this song. The entire concert is very good. If you cannot understand... search for Rob Thomas - Smooth - lyrics.
I know I'm coming to this late, but you said repeatedly that you didn't understand what he was saying. Here are the lyrics en Francaise. It doesn't always translate well. C'en est une chaude, mec, Comme de se tenir à sept pouces du soleil de midi Je t'entends murmurer, et tes mots font fondre tout le monde, Mais tu restes si cool Ma petite poupée, ma Mona Lisa de Spanish Harlem Tu es la raison de ma raison, Le pas de mon rythme
Et si tu disais que cette vie ne suffisait pas, Je donnerais mon monde pour te soulever Je changerais ma vie afin de mieux convenir à ton attitude, Parce que tu es si suave
Et c'est comme l'océan sous la lune, Enfin, c'est cette même émotion que je ressens avec toi Tu as ce genre d'amour qui pourrait être si suave Donne-moi ton cœur, Fais-en une réalité, Ou bien oublie tout ça
Et bien, je vais te dire une chose Si tu partais, ce serait vraiment dommage Dans chaque souffle et chaque parole, J'entends ton nom qui m'appelle
Depuis le barrio, Tu entends mon rythme à la radio Tu sens le monde qui tourne, si tendrement et si lentement, Te faisant tourner encore et encore

Hey Marie -- One more thing -- Please check out Stevie Ray Vaughn ("Texas Flood" is a really good one of his). He sings and his playing is just insane! It's a part of his body and soul. Wow! You'll love it if you love someone who can REALLY play the guitar. Thanks.
Carlos Santana is a guitarist. May I offer these suggestions: Jonny Lang "Lie to Me", Gary Moore "Still have the Blues", Gary Clarke, Jr. "CatFish Blues", Traveling Wilbury's "Handle with Care and End of the Line". Just to name a few impressive works of art. Enjoy!
Santana - Smooth Artist: Santana Featuring artist: Rob Thomas Smooth Man, it's a hot one Like seven inches from the midday sun I hear you whisper and the words melt everyone But you stay so cool My muñequita, my Spanish Harlem Mona Lisa, You're my reason for reason The step in my groove
[Chorus I]: And if you said: "This life ain't good enough" I would give my world to lift you up I could change my life to better suit your mood 'Cause you're so smooth
[Chorus II] And it's just like the ocean under the moon Well that's the same as the emotion that I get from you You got the kind of lovin' that can be so smooth Give me your heart Make it real Or else forget about it
Well I'll tell you one thing If you would leave it'd be a crying shame In every breath and every word I hear your name calling me out
Out from the barrio, You hear my rhythm on your radio You feel the turning of the world so soft and slow Turning you 'round and 'round
Someone has probably already said.... STRAP... guitar strap.. holds guitar.... But no Carlos does not sing in this song... Rob Thomas was the singer for Matchbox Twenty....
Hello beautiful how was your day hope it was as beautiful as you deserve, this is a great rhythm and if you listen to the lyrics they're very nice to I'm sorry it didn't seem as clear to you as it does to us . enjoyed your video God bless from Tennessee
thanks, Frnech - Rob Thomas is a good, cute singer - but SANTANA --legendary guitarist...but lately he works with newer/younger artists like Rob - some of my faves are what he did with Michelle Branch - ua-cam.com/video/tQfmlE_cvDc/v-deo.html
"More clear" or "clearer", both are fine. You're so cute when you worry about your English. The guitar is held up by a "strap" -- quel mot quotidien pour un objet d'art comme ca.
I found the lyrics in French.. Smooth (French translation) Artist: Santana Suave C'en est une chaude, mec, Comme de se tenir à sept pouces du soleil de midi Je t'entends murmurer, et tes mots font fondre tout le monde, Mais tu restes si cool Ma petite poupée, ma Mona Lisa de Spanish Harlem Tu es la raison de ma raison, Le pas de mon rythme

Here's one for you......Joe Satriani, Live in Paris, "Andalucia". No singing, pure guitar. Wear your headphones and turn them up. (Yeah, I'm pandering)
Rob Thomas wrote this song for his wife Marisol who was born in NY and is of Latino descent... hence "my Spanish Harlem Mona Lisa". Marisol is featured in the official video. (She's the sexy woman in the window). Do you live in France? The reason I ask is that I have no problem viewing the original video (I live in dept 13) - Enjoyed your reaction.
Another fun/interesting song from the same album as this song..."Maria Maria" - ua-cam.com/video/nPLV7lGbmT4/v-deo.html It is very much another song that will get you up dancing. Though, a little slower...but, will most definitely get you up. And, there's an album that Santana recorded, "Guitar Heaven: The Greatest Guitar Classics of All Time" where he collaborated with other artists. There are some interesting performances on that album.

it's called a STRAP. He has some really cool ones, also love his hats. If you can watch the Kennedy Center Honors where they Salute him for his contribution to the Arts. It is a small story of where he came from to having the largest Grammy win in History with 10 Grammys. Love your Love for watching and learning. It really excites you.
If you want to freak out on guitar listen to Swedish guitar player Yngwie Malmsteen song Far beyond the sun! First name is pronounced "Ingvay". He has speed like you wouldn't believe! Please check him out!
It’s called a strap guitar strap you should look up somewhere in haven, spirits dancing in the flesh live 1980 or early 1990s and with Buddy Miles live In Germany I think it will give chills make You cry beautiful music
Hi French Fry, Santana did an album of songs he wrote for different artists named Shawman, one song that stood out to me was "The Game of Love" featuring Michelle Branch. Check it out. I think you'd like it / Be Great / Louis
The thing on his shoulder, holding his guitar is called a "guitar strap". I love your reactions. You should check out the MonaLisa Twins. They do a lot of Beatles songs and their own songs too! They are real twins, Mona and Lisa. They are from Austria but now live in England. Here is a link to "You can't do that", a Beatles song covered by the MonaLisa Twins: ua-cam.com/video/20O_qYRw0F8/v-deo.html
Old fart here...In the official video, the main girl (from the car, then apartment then down to the street is Rob's wife. She is almost as beautiful as FrenchTastic.. Almost. Carlos sang more 60 years ago and not sure why he stopped, but he did have a very good Latin voice that went well with his music.
hello and I love watching your reactions and it''s only partly because you are beautiful and have an accent that is lovely to listen to. I am about to ask that you react to a song full of soul from a lifetime ago. Please lady. Check out "" Jessica's Song" ... of the movie The Man From Snowy River... you will enjoy this song i'm sure :)
Carlos isn't known as a vocalist. He has always just played with someone else singing vocals. You should watch the long version of 'Soul Sacrifice' from the Woodstock concert in 1969.
Even though Rob Thomas wrote the lyrics and sings this was a hit through an exact combo of Rob Thomas and Carlos Santana. Obviously Santana was the one who wrote the original music if you Will. He came to Rob Thomas and asked him to write the lyrics but had no intention of ever getting him to sing because he said he wanted someone to sing this track Who was George Michael like . Thomas was not supposed to sing this. At that time he was burning the charts with songs he was Writing for other people that became hits. From everything that I've watched in documentaries my man Rob Thomas was the top song writer for about 3 or 4 Years so he was definitely in the zone which is exactly why Carlos asked him to write the lyrics more than likely. The way the story goes according to Carlos ..... This was an interview I saw....... So Thomas writes the lyrics in then he wants to Be the vocalist on this track. In other words come on Carlos just let me try and see what you think... I guess he thought it would be OK lol. I can't think of a someone else singing This track. I can't imagine someone else like George Michael B in the vocalist here only because Rob Thomas put his special little spin on the words if you notice. That's what she can't understand them as she says many times. Hes from South Carolina when he sings you can hear him stretching out words and to anyone that English is not the 1st language will probably have a little difficulty with this blue eyed soul of Rob Thomas. And then we got my man Carlos Santana on guitar. I only wish that Carlos would have had more than one riff and a little longer. Other than that this the 1st time I've ever seen this and man it was dope with the drums in the horns colors different colored . People and the list goes on... Sorry I'm just 22 years old and although I've heard this before I've never seen this video and something about this song pumps me up so guess I gotta lower hyper with the long Comment. Happy holidays everybody of every face for this is Christmas when I'm leaving this comment
The vocalist name Rob Thomas. He wrote the lyrics also. He was in a famous band named matchbox 20. He was the most successful writer for 3 or 4 years straight. He wrote a lot of songs and tracks for other artist that became hits. You can find the lyrics On UA-cam. One reason you may not understand him too well is because he is from South Carolina in the USA. In the poor of the USA they have a dialect that is very unique compared to the rest of The USA. It's called a Southern draw . That's probably one reason you're having a hard time understanding him. One thing is obviously English is not your 1st language even though you speak it well and great. But also even for Americans sometimes we got people who sing and their accent or dialect is so different we don't even understand and need lyrics A lot of time.... lol .... There's something in the USA they call blue eyed soul. Basically it started out with the righteous brothers way way back in the day. It's when a white person sings with so and almost is pure soul music. If you don't know what so music is is predominantly something that started with black Americans. You can type it in and you'll see a lot of so put out talk of names out and one would be James Brown from way way back. That would be the godfather of soul ......what they call him... So when I say soul I'm talking about so music and its Lake your singing from way down inside and from your emotions rather than just see in words and trying to sound good. So the reason I mention blue eyed soul is because basically this is white folk who scene music with soul and I say so a don't mean a religious thing of course I mean just deep inside emotions and given it the all they have. Rob Thomas is one of those people they considered blue eyed soul. And no this was long but I wanted to touch in on some things and kind of give you an idea of where Americans see things like this and vainly not even understand where he saying sometimes. He has an accent and he also plays with the way he pronounces words if you notice. He was stretch words out. And then of course the rest that you C is freakin immaculate production. You noticed a write-off with all those freakin horns and drums and then of course Carlos Santana on the guitar. This is a dope song in my opinion and obviously again you got a great living legend guitarist like Carlos Santana... That's a living legend you know. That right there is one of the best shows I've ever seen with all the instruments and all the drums and colors ... It all came together and this is the 1st time I've ever seen this. The thing I knew about these people Santana and Rob Thomas are things that I had to go watch documentaries or read about on Google because I'm still him up early twenties. I wasn't around necessarily or maybe I was a little baby when this came out. Anyway sorry it was so long 1st time a balanced on your channel and going to subscribe I'm gonna give it a Lake and the only reason this was so long everyone is because I know that she wanted to know the lyrics said she mention it more than once. She said she couldn't understand him and things like that so I will just telling you and everyone there's a lot of people that don't understand Rob Thomas sometimes the way he has is pronunciation. So don't feel Like you alone. You can find the lyrics With music on UA-cam if you just would like to know where he was saying. Last thing is this album had 9 grammy wins from what I read a believe that's right. It's the most of all time in one night of the grammys awards or it might be a tie with Michael Jackson having the most M1 night at the Grammy Awards. Think about that 9 freaking grammy award wins in one night. This album supernatural should be on your playlist cause they got some dope songs. Yo again sorry so long and normaly just leave a couple sentences on UA-cam sites but I'm really so you wanted to understand what he was saying so I thought I would toss out a little bit of why you didn't understand and how you can get the lyrics. Merry Christmas everyone
Chaque fois que je t''entends/ecoutes tes videos...je penses a Mlle Framboisette. I remember hearing you describe your cute little cat, several years ago.
Carlos sings with his guitar 🎸
That he does.
Yes he does!!!
And he reaches deep inside your guts, grabs hold, and you find yourself dancing on the clouds
He makes it cry! “Yo Carlos you making that guitar cry” (Maria, Maria)
He makes it another voice, backing up and filling in around the lead vocal, adding richness, making a good song great.
Santana is my favorite guitarist ever, period. Thanks for your review.
Such a great song. It rocks which is why it won 3 Grammys. It was written by both Santana & Thomas (of Matchbox Twenty). Wonderful review Marie.
Thanks so much for the inspiration! This really chimes with inspirations I take for my independent music, it’s so nice to see this kind of work out there.
🎸💯 Carlos SHREDS that guitar & Rob Thomas' voice is sooo smooth‼ They're smokin hot‼🔥
Good rhythm and great guitarist Carlos
The Santana album "Supernatural" that the song is on, won the Album of the Year" at the 2000 Grammy Awards
This album was Santana collaborating with other artists. It was called "Supernatural". Eric Clapton was on the record, as was Cee Lo Green, Lauren Hill, Dave Matthews and others. It's one of the biggest selling albums of all time and in 2000 it won 8 Grammys including Record of the Year and Best Pop Collaboration for this song, Album of the Year, Best Pop Album, Best Pop Performance for a Duo for "Maria Maria", Best Pop Instrumental for "El Farol", Best Rock Instrumental for "The Calling" with Clapton, and Best Rock Vocal by a Duo for "Put Your Lights On" (with Everlast).
This was a HUGE album.
This is one of my fave Rob Thomas songs. Santana is the guitar master for many years now. Rob Thomas started with the group Matchbox 20 if you want to check them out.
I saw Santanta first time in 1987,and he is still one off the best :)
Rob Thomas is the lead singer of Matchbox Twenty, a great pop rock band from the 90s, which I think is worth listening to.
Loved Santana since first listen, mid seventies! WHO is this great singer Rob Thomas? Must check out!
Santana is the lead guitar in the black hat. He began making hits in the late 60's
The man played at Woodstock enough said
Santana live at Woodstock is great
I've always preferred Santana's 'The Game of Love' with Michelle Branch to this song - as good as this one is, of course.
My favourite song of Santana is samba pa ti or well corazón espinado
Hey Marie! Have you seen the Santana Video "Maria Maria with G&B Product" ...? You'll get to see Santana sing a little bit and there's a lot of Santana solo guitar and dancing, etc. You should really check it out! Thanks.
The master.

Watched you enjoy the music, even though you didn't understand the sung lyrics, and that's important. If the music moves you, that's good.
As far as not understanding the lyrics. I'm almost completely deaf, and that's how it has been my whole life.
Great reaction Marie! ✌️😎
I think it is ok to not understanding the words in this one. You listen and feel it
Its called a guitar strap. And if you want to hear Carlos Santana sing listen to Black Magic Woman.
Recommend Corazón Espinado!
I challenge you to hold still while listening to this.
It's called a Guitar Strap.
Try listening to "Tangled up in You" by Stained. A very moving song.
It's called a guitar strap.
Santana has always had some of the best Afro -Latin rock-fussion sounds out there. Hats off 🎉.
If you like a guitar you should listen to Stevie Ray Vaughan - Texas Flood (from Live at the El Mocambo)
I agree with SRV except one should Not view "Texas Flood" 1st, save the surprise till later.. ♠W.G.
My best concert ever( seen alot), outdoor Austin 1985! Unreal!!
Seen Clapton and David Gilmour!
For softer solos, favorite is Andy Latimer of Camel!
Ice, Stationary traveller both live!
Nothing Beats SRV!!
Too Young to have seen Hendrix, except on Here. Prefer SRV!!
What a loss! Kicked heroine, died in a helicopter crash.... God has left us!!
Also Yngwie Malmsteen he is amazing too. And Eddie Van Halen
SRV was amazing, life cut short. he got a friend of mine into the blues, and its taken him around the world. the guy is awesome. a jewel from small town iowa!
@@wgdavis5353 it's hard to save SRV surprises lol
Carlos Santana "The Latin Guitar God" his sound spanning since the 60's. Brought the Latin sound back into Rock and Roll. As you have seen he plays the guitar so effortlessly. Carlos is one of my favorite guitar players of all time. So happy to see you bring in some of Latin / California style to your channel. Till the next time. ✌ N ❤
You can't NOT love Carlos Santana!
Carlos Santana is one a few guitarists - along with St. Jimi - whose playing is both visceral and transcendental.
You should give the Santana song “Maria, Maria” a try !
Yeah that's cool
Great song!
Marie, You'll love his "Evil Ways", "Oye Como Va", "Everybody's Everything and song featuring Michelle Branch "Game Of Love". Carlos doesn't normally sing, but he makes the guitar sing!! Its a guitar strap that holds the guitar.
I was going to say that Santana does his singing thru the guitar. 😁👍
He has a very ‘artsy’ guitar strap that is practical as it distributes the weight of the guitar over a wider area.
That is a guitar strap that holds the guitar.
And when you were second guessing yourself about "More clear/clearer"? You can say either one.
We love your channel! Keep up the great work!
True that.. This is the 1st time I've found her channel kind of by accident . I left a very long comment for her which are normally never leave comments that long. I notice she really wanted to understand what Rob Thomas was saying because she mentioned it over and over as she can't understand. I just gave her a little background on him and that he is a Southerner and has a little draw when he sings and stretches words . But you I'm with you she is trying to learn and I can only imagine how hard it would be because I speak 2 languages but there is some Spanish rock vet I just do not understand. So even if I know the language A lot of times I just don't understand certain Spanish Dialects in songs and especially if his hip hop. Have a good holiday and peace

Hi, sweet Marie. Glad you had a go at this song and you liking it. Santana is one of a very few band leaders that likes to stay behind and give the chance for others to shine. Although he writes music and lyrics, he prefers not to sing. In the 70's during a concert, some lifestyle guru was so impressed with his skills that he gave Carlos the name of "Devadip", meaning "The enlighted one". Carlos in an enterview said that if he doesn't "feel" the emotion of a guitar solo, then the public will feel the same way. One word of advice: pause the video 2 or 3 times, give some reaction, slightly rewind (a few seconds will be enough), and continue. This way, the video will not be blocked. Continue exploring the wonderful world of Santana, and you will be amazed. Kind regards and stay safe.
Quick story from something I've read even though I'm a young guy I do research on Music. So I wasn't really around or I was a little baby when this came out. I'm 22 and I think this came out in 2000 or 1999. What I wanted to mention is well was doing his research for myself I realized that Rob Thomas at that time was on a streak of writing hits for other people. For 3 or 4 years he he won't got the song writer of the year a wood because everything that do whose writing for other people was becoming a hit Practically. The cool thing is the story about this out of The mouth of Carlos I saw in an interview. He knew Rob Thomas was riding the best music at that time for other people so he came to Rob Thomas Asking could he write lyrics for this but he never won and Rob Thomas to sing. She wanted someone like George Michael. He said I was looking towards someone like George Michael type voice. Apparently, Rob Thomas after writing the lyrics asked Carlos well can you at least listen to me Singing To this song track? Long story short you see what you got. But that was a cool story To me because this song I cannot see another person singing. But again on this Lee he did not want Rob Thomas to see because honestly he didn't dislike the voice but he just didn't fake it was the voice he wanted on this song. I just think that's really cool and you a check the interview well is kind of cool because right Carlos and Tana is so freakin quiet that it becomes mysterious almost. So if I catch a video where hes actually in an interview answering questions that is dope to me. Make Christmas happy Hanukkah or just happy holidays to you
No need to be perfect, you speak very good English, sweetie....
She is one of the sweetest creatures to grace youtube.
The guitar strap, rhythms, colors, and artwork is from Carlos' Mexican American heritage. I don't think Carlos ever sings. Except with his guitar.
Marie, I loved your reaction video. And yes, you said it correctly, it's "clearer". Carlos is an ICON that has been around since the 60s. His spanish input into his guitar playing is so unique that is very easily recognizable! He is a LEGEND in the world of rock music even though he crosses many genres and has done so many collaborations with singers from different musical backgrounds. Glad you have found and enjoy Carlos Santan!
the most beautiful girl in the world
The thirst is strong with this one. Support her Patreon!
I agree
Carlos is smo0o0th with the guitar!! Lmao ms. Marie sticks her lower lip out when pouting..😂😂😂😂😂😂
Keep smiling ANGEL EYE'S.......
Carlos does forget himself while playing his guitar. He said that he doesn’t always know where his music comes from.
It's called a guitar strap. This one is a custom made of [I assume] embroidered beads or fabric with seashell lined on leather.
Carlos rarely sings except for some chorus or background vocals. He has gone through several lead singers over the years and has collaborated with many guest vocals like Rob Thomas on this particular song. Carlos' guitar does all of his singing for him ;)
If you want some more Latin beats try Miami Sound Machine with Gloria Estefan doing "Conga"
Agreed, this video is fun too!
i love Your choices, you always pick good songs, that's why I'm a subscriber of your channel.
for ( in my opinion ) Santanas best instrumental watch "Samba Pa Ti - live in Mexico"... he doesn't play the instrument..he IS the instrument
Have seen Carlos in concert many times in my life.he always puts on a fantastic show.i think he accepts that his voice is rather average so he always gets great singers to work with him.his guitar work his beautiful.also going to recommend,again,Stevie Ray Vaughan,texas flood,live at the el macambo.i think its the greatest guitar playing ever caught on video.i think it will amaze you.stay safe and strong dear
SRV is undeniable greatness.
Maybe in his old age his voice is average, but when he was young his voice very unique and cool.
Hello Marie ! I Hope The weekend Treats you well.😄😄😄😄😄😄😄
Pretty cool for a 73 year old, don't you think? I've loved his music for most of my life and hope he keeps making it for another fifty years.
Carlos Santana played at the Woodstock festival in 1969 (51 years ago!) and was apparently one of the best acts despite being on the drug mescaline. He was hallucinating the whole time, but played brilliantly. He knew the songs so well he didn't even need to think about it, his fingers just knew what to play. They call it 'muscle memory'. 🎸
Yes, try viewing Soul Sacrifice by Santana, live from Woodstock 1969. A really tight performance in spite of the drugs.
Called a guitar strap that holds the guitar
Marie, you may not recognize Cajun French when you hear it. Although they are of French ancestry, they seemed to have created their own language.
The singer is messing around with the vowel sounds so it is not surprising that you are having understanding. As a native English speaker, I am having trouble understanding him sometimes as well.
I believe it's called a guitar strap. I did like the live version and it's been a while since I had seen the official video so I don't recall it. The singer is famous on his own and Carlos does not sing (at least that I am not aware of him singing). Rob Thomas was popular in in the 1990s, I believe and in the live video it looked to me that the women in the audience knew the lyrics and were probably interested in seeing Rob Thomas as I think he was considered handsome. Nice reaction overall and your English is fine, sometimes you second guess yourself on how to say some words but we know what you mean.
Coucou ! Tu devrais écouter "Europa" ça a été un de ses plus grand succès fin des années 70
This is one of my favorite songs, Frenchie. Wonderful reaction. If you thought the guitar in this reaction was good, you should react to Stevie Ray Vaughan - Voodoo Child.
You should check out Santana Evil Ways -Woodstock 1969, where it all started for Santana. By the way he sings.
Hi there FrenchFry, now your in for a treat, enjoy
Man, it's a hot one
Like seven inches from the midday sun
Well, I hear you whisper and the words melt everyone
But you stay so cool
My muñequita, my Spanish Harlem Mona Lisa
You're my reason for reason
The step in my groove
And if you said this life ain't good enough
I would give my world to lift you up
I could change my life to better suit your mood
Because you're so smooth
And it's just like the ocean under the moon
Oh, it's the same as the emotion that I get from you
You got the kind of lovin' that can be so smooth, yeah
Give me your heart, make it real, or else forget about it
But I'll tell you one thing
If you would leave it'd be a crying shame
In every breath and every word
I hear your name calling me out
Out from the barrio
You hear my rhythm on your radio
You feel the turning of the world, so soft and slow
It's turning you round and round

Carlos is a Guitar Icon (God), Rob Thomas has his own Band called “Matcbox 20”. Check out Santana with Michelle Brandt in “The Game of Love” (excellent Video). Love you! SanJoseBob
It did look like a scarf....but it's called a guitar strap. ;) I really thought it was beautiful.
Reacts Carlos Santana and Mana, Thorned Heart
Carlos has his guitars custom made by a luthier located in eastern Maryland... not only does Carlos make his guitar sing, but he also makes it cry. He is a master.
Your facial reactions were again a joy to watch. Thank you sweet Marie!
Excellent choice! Any time you bring us another Santana reaction will be a happy day!!!
Carlos - knocking us out since Woodstock. FrenchTastic, you are a brilliant and fascinating woman.
Here for your eyes, subbed for your reactions...
Carlos Santana is a living Legend from the Jimmy Hendrix Times/ 60s 70s! From California ! A Latin Rock culturally colorful twist of sounds combined 🎶❣️👍
This was Santana's first album in a decade or so... and he invited some hot artists to collaborate on this work. What's amazing is that some of the guest artists had their biggest hits ever with Carlos on guitar. I bought the DVD after hearing Rob Thomas and Carlos release this song. The entire concert is very good. If you cannot understand... search for Rob Thomas - Smooth - lyrics.
I know I'm coming to this late, but you said repeatedly that you didn't understand what he was saying. Here are the lyrics en Francaise. It doesn't always translate well.
C'en est une chaude, mec,
Comme de se tenir à sept pouces du soleil de midi
Je t'entends murmurer, et tes mots font fondre tout le monde,
Mais tu restes si cool
Ma petite poupée, ma Mona Lisa de Spanish Harlem
Tu es la raison de ma raison,
Le pas de mon rythme
Et si tu disais que cette vie ne suffisait pas,
Je donnerais mon monde pour te soulever
Je changerais ma vie afin de mieux convenir à ton attitude,
Parce que tu es si suave
Et c'est comme l'océan sous la lune,
Enfin, c'est cette même émotion que je ressens avec toi
Tu as ce genre d'amour qui pourrait être si suave
Donne-moi ton cœur,
Fais-en une réalité,
Ou bien oublie tout ça
Et bien, je vais te dire une chose
Si tu partais, ce serait vraiment dommage
Dans chaque souffle et chaque parole,
J'entends ton nom qui m'appelle
Depuis le barrio,
Tu entends mon rythme à la radio
Tu sens le monde qui tourne, si tendrement et si lentement,
Te faisant tourner encore et encore
Carlos makes his guitar sing! He rocked Woodstock back in 69.
I love it when your head gets to bobbing, adorable reaction.
More Santana. Black Magic Woman, Game of Love.
Neal Schon, Ross Valory + Greg Rolie quit Santana to found Journey.
Request for Journey. Open Arms, Don't Stop Believing, Separate Ways, Wheel in the Sky, Mother Father, Still They Ride, Girl Can't Help It, Only the Young, Message of Love.
Request for Steve Perry. Oh Sherrie, I Stand Alone (w/David Foster), Foolish Heart, Traces, Don't Fight It (w/Kenny Loggins).
Request for Arnel Pineda (w/David Foster) Hard to Say I'm Sorry, I Finally Gound Someone.
" Give me your heart, make it real, or forget anout it."
Hey Marie -- One more thing -- Please check out Stevie Ray Vaughn ("Texas Flood" is a really good one of his). He sings and his playing is just insane! It's a part of his body and soul. Wow! You'll love it if you love someone who can REALLY play the guitar. Thanks.
Carlos Santana is a guitarist. May I offer these suggestions: Jonny Lang "Lie to Me", Gary Moore "Still have the Blues", Gary Clarke, Jr. "CatFish Blues", Traveling Wilbury's "Handle with Care and End of the Line". Just to name a few impressive works of art. Enjoy!

Someone has probably already said.... STRAP... guitar strap.. holds guitar.... But no Carlos does not sing in this song... Rob Thomas was the singer for Matchbox Twenty....
Hello beautiful how was your day hope it was as beautiful as you deserve, this is a great rhythm and if you listen to the lyrics they're very nice to I'm sorry it didn't seem as clear to you as it does to us . enjoyed your video God bless from Tennessee
thanks, Frnech - Rob Thomas is a good, cute singer - but SANTANA --legendary guitarist...but lately he works with newer/younger artists like Rob - some of my faves are what he did with Michelle Branch - ua-cam.com/video/tQfmlE_cvDc/v-deo.html
"More clear" or "clearer", both are fine. You're so cute when you worry about your English. The guitar is held up by a "strap" -- quel mot quotidien pour un objet d'art comme ca.
I found the lyrics in French.. Smooth (French translation)

Here's one for you......Joe Satriani, Live in Paris, "Andalucia". No singing, pure guitar. Wear your headphones and turn them up.
(Yeah, I'm pandering)
Rob Thomas wrote this song for his wife Marisol who was born in NY and is of Latino descent... hence "my Spanish Harlem Mona Lisa". Marisol is featured in the official video. (She's the sexy woman in the window). Do you live in France? The reason I ask is that I have no problem viewing the original video (I live in dept 13) - Enjoyed your reaction.
Awesome music from the past🤣🤣marie. I'm thinking Matchbox20 Rob Thomas. Good reaction actually this music could go well in France.
Another fun/interesting song from the same album as this song..."Maria Maria" - ua-cam.com/video/nPLV7lGbmT4/v-deo.html
It is very much another song that will get you up dancing. Though, a little slower...but, will most definitely get you up.
And, there's an album that Santana recorded, "Guitar Heaven: The Greatest Guitar Classics of All Time" where he collaborated with other artists. There are some interesting performances on that album.

You should react to Mana feat. Carlos Santana- Corazon Espinado. Also, Soda Stereo - Profugos (2007 tour). Saludos 👋
Corazón Espinado*
You’re right 👍
it's called a STRAP. He has some really cool ones, also love his hats. If you can watch the Kennedy Center Honors where they Salute him for his contribution to the Arts. It is a small story of where he came from to having the largest Grammy win in History with 10 Grammys. Love your Love for watching and learning. It really excites you.
If you want to freak out on guitar listen to Swedish guitar player Yngwie Malmsteen song Far beyond the sun! First name is pronounced "Ingvay". He has speed like you wouldn't believe! Please check him out!
It’s called a strap guitar strap you should look up somewhere in haven, spirits dancing in the flesh live
1980 or early 1990s and with Buddy Miles live In Germany I think it will give chills make
You cry beautiful music
Hi French Fry, Santana did an album of songs he wrote for different artists named Shawman, one song that stood
out to me was "The Game of Love" featuring Michelle Branch. Check it out. I think you'd like it / Be Great / Louis
The thing on his shoulder, holding his guitar is called a "guitar strap". I love your reactions. You should check out the MonaLisa Twins. They do a lot of Beatles songs and their own songs too! They are real twins, Mona and Lisa. They are from Austria but now live in England. Here is a link to "You can't do that", a Beatles song covered by the MonaLisa Twins: ua-cam.com/video/20O_qYRw0F8/v-deo.html
Old fart here...In the official video, the main girl (from the car, then apartment then down to the street is Rob's wife. She is almost as beautiful as FrenchTastic.. Almost. Carlos sang more 60 years ago and not sure why he stopped, but he did have a very good Latin voice that went well with his music.
Clear Your Head And Listen To Nightwish...You Will Learn About Symphonic Metal.
hello and I love watching your reactions and it''s only partly because you are beautiful and have an accent that is lovely to listen to. I am about to ask that you react to a song full of soul from a lifetime ago. Please lady. Check out "" Jessica's Song" ... of the movie The Man From Snowy River... you will enjoy this song i'm sure :)
It's called a, "GUITAR-STRAP" it hold's the guitar up against your body... yes it's very nice and, fancy.
Carlos isn't known as a vocalist. He has always just played with someone else singing vocals. You should watch the long version of 'Soul Sacrifice' from the Woodstock concert in 1969.
Even though Rob Thomas wrote the lyrics and sings this was a hit through an exact combo of Rob Thomas and Carlos Santana. Obviously Santana was the one who wrote the original music if you Will. He came to Rob Thomas and asked him to write the lyrics but had no intention of ever getting him to sing because he said he wanted someone to sing this track Who was George Michael like . Thomas was not supposed to sing this. At that time he was burning the charts with songs he was Writing for other people that became hits. From everything that I've watched in documentaries my man Rob Thomas was the top song writer for about 3 or 4 Years so he was definitely in the zone which is exactly why Carlos asked him to write the lyrics more than likely. The way the story goes according to Carlos ..... This was an interview I saw....... So Thomas writes the lyrics in then he wants to Be the vocalist on this track. In other words come on Carlos just let me try and see what you think... I guess he thought it would be OK lol. I can't think of a someone else singing This track. I can't imagine someone else like George Michael B in the vocalist here only because Rob Thomas put his special little spin on the words if you notice. That's what she can't understand them as she says many times. Hes from South Carolina when he sings you can hear him stretching out words and to anyone that English is not the 1st language will probably have a little difficulty with this blue eyed soul of Rob Thomas. And then we got my man Carlos Santana on guitar. I only wish that Carlos would have had more than one riff and a little longer. Other than that this the 1st time I've ever seen this and man it was dope with the drums in the horns colors different colored . People and the list goes on... Sorry I'm just 22 years old and although I've heard this before I've never seen this video and something about this song pumps me up so guess I gotta lower hyper with the long Comment. Happy holidays everybody of every face for this is Christmas when I'm leaving this comment
The vocalist name Rob Thomas. He wrote the lyrics also. He was in a famous band named matchbox 20. He was the most successful writer for 3 or 4 years straight. He wrote a lot of songs and tracks for other artist that became hits. You can find the lyrics On UA-cam. One reason you may not understand him too well is because he is from South Carolina in the USA. In the poor of the USA they have a dialect that is very unique compared to the rest of The USA. It's called a Southern draw . That's probably one reason you're having a hard time understanding him. One thing is obviously English is not your 1st language even though you speak it well and great. But also even for Americans sometimes we got people who sing and their accent or dialect is so different we don't even understand and need lyrics A lot of time.... lol .... There's something in the USA they call blue eyed soul. Basically it started out with the righteous brothers way way back in the day. It's when a white person sings with so and almost is pure soul music. If you don't know what so music is is predominantly something that started with black Americans. You can type it in and you'll see a lot of so put out talk of names out and one would be James Brown from way way back. That would be the godfather of soul ......what they call him... So when I say soul I'm talking about so music and its Lake your singing from way down inside and from your emotions rather than just see in words and trying to sound good. So the reason I mention blue eyed soul is because basically this is white folk who scene music with soul and I say so a don't mean a religious thing of course I mean just deep inside emotions and given it the all they have. Rob Thomas is one of those people they considered blue eyed soul. And no this was long but I wanted to touch in on some things and kind of give you an idea of where Americans see things like this and vainly not even understand where he saying sometimes. He has an accent and he also plays with the way he pronounces words if you notice. He was stretch words out. And then of course the rest that you C is freakin immaculate production. You noticed a write-off with all those freakin horns and drums and then of course Carlos Santana on the guitar. This is a dope song in my opinion and obviously again you got a great living legend guitarist like Carlos Santana... That's a living legend you know. That right there is one of the best shows I've ever seen with all the instruments and all the drums and colors ... It all came together and this is the 1st time I've ever seen this. The thing I knew about these people Santana and Rob Thomas are things that I had to go watch documentaries or read about on Google because I'm still him up early twenties. I wasn't around necessarily or maybe I was a little baby when this came out. Anyway sorry it was so long 1st time a balanced on your channel and going to subscribe I'm gonna give it a Lake and the only reason this was so long everyone is because I know that she wanted to know the lyrics said she mention it more than once. She said she couldn't understand him and things like that so I will just telling you and everyone there's a lot of people that don't understand Rob Thomas sometimes the way he has is pronunciation. So don't feel Like you alone. You can find the lyrics With music on UA-cam if you just would like to know where he was saying. Last thing is this album had 9 grammy wins from what I read a believe that's right. It's the most of all time in one night of the grammys awards or it might be a tie with Michael Jackson having the most M1 night at the Grammy Awards. Think about that 9 freaking grammy award wins in one night. This album supernatural should be on your playlist cause they got some dope songs. Yo again sorry so long and normaly just leave a couple sentences on UA-cam sites but I'm really so you wanted to understand what he was saying so I thought I would toss out a little bit of why you didn't understand and how you can get the lyrics. Merry Christmas everyone
You are beautiful!
Santana used to practice playing in a dark room. That’s how he developed his playing and style so, no, he doesn’t look at his hands.
Chaque fois que je t''entends/ecoutes tes videos...je penses a Mlle Framboisette. I remember hearing you describe your cute little cat, several years ago.
