Europa will curl your toes. No lyrics. Just pure Santana
Europa is amazing ❤❤
I concur
The best one! ❤
This is the proper suggestion.
Song of the Wind another great instrumental
"Oyo Como Va" to show off the wonderful rhythm section Carlos always had with his band. Thanks guys.
No one plays Oyo with Black Magic, but it is so beautiful in the transition.
DEFINITELY Soul Sacrifice from Woodstock! That one is just a joy to watch and hear. Truly.
Compare it with the 2016 version on 'Santana IV'!
Nobody in the comments has mentioned "Jingo". One of my favorites.
Jingo ba!
As jammed out as this one is, "Europa" is a more intense instrumental. Carlos Santana at his best. A must listen to.
Santana did a great take on Europa. I think the Gato Barberi version is a little better.
And then there's Aqua Marine from the Marathon album. David Margen on bass. If they want a break from instrumental only Santana, I'd suggest Taboo from Santana III. Lots of instrumental sections but also beautiful, soulful vocals.
The Abraxas album was released in 1970, after Woodstock. From beginning to end Abraxas is one of the very best albums of that time - Incident at Neshabur, Oye Como Va, Samba Pa Ti, Se A Cabo, Black Magic Woman/Gypsy Queen, and more. The album art (the Annunciation) was by the German realist painter Abdul Mati Klarwein, who also did the cover art for Miles Davis iconic 'Bitches Brew' album, also in 1970.
This is Santana's Hotel California, his overwhelming masterpiece 🎉🎉
Carlos Santana is one of very very few guitarists who are instantly recognisable just by the “ tone” of their playing. Quite unique.
This is one of my favorite songs of all time.
There are two versions of the Woodstock performance of Soul Sacrifice, be sure to get the long one! The short one edits out 2 min. of the drum solo.
Playing the long version will also eliminate 200 comments complaining about the "wrong" version.
Yes, live @ Woodstock,Soul Sacrifice a great watch.
Jimi Hendrix is said to have told Carlos, “I like the notes you play.” The more you hear of Santana, the more you realize Jimi was correct.
Saw Santana live at Manchester Palace UK March 75, support band was Earth Wind & Fire, mind blowing!
This whole album is pure bliss!!!!
Gracias por compartir, tengo 69 años y crecí escuchando esta música. 👍
This is my favorite instrumental of all time! Thanks for the reaction.
The organ player Greg Rollie was the lead singer on most early Santana, like Black Magic Woman for instance.
Love Greg's vocals with Santana and later Journey❣️
Santana " Contigo " 🎉
Just had to let you know. " Canela " , " Song of the Wind " , " Never the Same " .These are songs that you would not here on the radio, only if you had the album or CD. Like I said, so much more to Santana. Thank you for indulging me. PEACE. 😊
Santana was the first band I ever saw live. 1972, great stuff forever.
Santana was in my music universe in the 70's.
There is so much of Santana that you are not aware of, so much. Stay on the path you will not be disappointed. 🎉 😊
Carlos Santana is the master of Melody, and slowly turns the volume up as he goes, he has proven that you don't have to have your volume set on 10, to get your point across. Or have to have an oversized effects board, just pure and simple. He always has master class musicians in his band... He truly is as good as it gets.
You also need to react to "No One To Depend On," from Santana's third album (1971). The song is a tour de force.
Transcendence is awesome too,Some singing and great guitar!!!
5 albums I would take to a desert island, if stranded, one of the 5 would be Santana's album 'Caravanserai'. And nobody knows it. No hits, no flair, just pure perfection.....
Song of the wind is actually my favorite santana song off that album. Masterpiece
I can listen to Carlos Santana any time. He had a sound like no other. Santana's Abraxas album is one of the best albums to come out of the 1970s. Every song on it was killer. Saw Santana and Steve Miller inside Diamond Head Crater in Honolulu in 1971 maybe winter of 1972. Holy Smokes what a day that was. Both bands just blew the place up.
Beautiful "guitar song"🎸👀👍
At 16 I was studying at school and in our common room every student brought their favourite album to play on the communal record player. Santana, Diana Ross, Pink Floyd, The Carpenters, Led Zeppelin, Stevie Wonder , Queen and too many more to mention. What a time to be alive!
Europa is another instrumental that is a must hear from Santana studio version
Carlos Santana was my inspiration to learn to play guitar back in the1970's ! Kamami from Band-Maid says Carlos Santana is her Inspiration today ! She also credits Eddie Van Halen for her tapping ability =) Nice Reaction ✌🤘
My favorite Santana tune. Even better live.
My favourite Santana track. Beautiful.
Soul Sacrifice at Woodstock was outstsnding.
It's all about the space between the notes. Another vote for Europa too.
Santana concerts are incredible
1/3 of the songs are instrumental, 1/3 sung in Spanish, crowd ranges from 18-80
And everyone is riveted by the music he and his band play
Oh how fun you're doing Santana tracks. This is the music I grew up with, really, and this album in particular is very significant. That said, the Soul Sacrifice performance from Woodstock is AMAZING. Enjoy!
Sam doing the chair samba oh yeah 😍 Santana is one deep rabbit hole I hope both of you dive in 🙏🏼✌🏼♥️
Yes. Soul Sacrifice from Woodstock next. Be sure to get the uncut longest version. There is a shorter edited version out there that comes up more often in searches.
Santana in its purest form.
Santana❣️ Fun Fact: The keyboardist in Santana was Greg Rolie. Greg was a co-founder of Santana And later co-founder of Journey❣️. Agree..the live "Soul Sacrifice" Woodstock performance next, please😊🎸🥁
I think Greg was my favorite Santana lead singer of them all.
Santana debe ser reaccionado en vivo 😌
Europa very good aso.
Brazilian samba rhythms with rock fusion..Santana style!!
Beautiful. We need more in the world.
Another excellent instrumental by Santana is Song Of The Wind.
I think that she feels the soul a lot ❤
The high notes santana hits are soul entangling .....
Hi guys, in Colombia, this was the tune in the parties when in order to flirt with a girl, invite her to dance and she accept , the situation was looking pretty good. What a good memories, no doubt about it. Samba patterns, some conga, maracas and brushes work on the drums, and you`re there. Cheers and thanks for the tune`s appreciation. Theres another terrific solo guitar Santana music performance and this is "Song of the Wind", featured in the 1972 album "Caravanserai". It will blow your minds and imagination.
always been my favorite Santana song!!
And don't forget Greg Rolie roaring in with that Hammond B/C-3 tonewheel organ riff. Santana is Carlos' last name and he is the front man and composer of this song without words, but Santana is a band.
There are very few vocalists, who have the passion, & elegance, of Carlos Santana’s guitar.
One of the BEST from Santana.......!
Great instrumental by Santana. This Latin rock band was formed back in 1966. They had a lot of great songs & instrumental rock tracks over the years such as "Jingo", "Evil Ways", "Black Magic Woman", "Soul Sacrifice", "Oye Coma Va", "Everybody's Everything", "The Game Of Love", "Hope You're Feeling Better" etc. The song "Smooth" & "Maria Maria" were done later in 1999 & rejuvenated the career of Santana.
Europa, Song of the Wind and Samba Pa Ti 😊
This was my introduction to Santana back in the day . What an album ❤❤❤
this song feels like the guitar is in love haha.
I also love Europa “Earths cry Heavens Smile” a great instrumental
Carlos is a great player
The woman on the album cover is an angel.
Samba Pa Ti is the first song Mr. Santana wrote.
Scrolling thru the comments I noticed many suggestions for Europa. Couldn't agree more. May I suggest the live cut off the Moonflower double album. Good example of the emotion he puts into every note. Pay attention to how quiet and respectful the Japanese crowd is till the very end. Mesmerizing! The title cut off this album is Flor D Luna. Another extremely beautiful instrumental! I also saw some suggestions for Transcendence. Great suggestion also. There is some vocals by Greg Walker on this song but it is amazing. Want this played at my funeral.
Have seen him live too many times to count. Never disappoints. Always an extremely diverse crowd with everyone dancing together with a wonderfully fine feeling of fellowship. He knows how precious our children are ( exemplified by his Milagro Foundation ) and often brings a young boy and girl from the crowd on stage to dance.
A good example of the magic of his concerts is " Smooth ", with Rob Thomas from Matchbox 20. Check out the many excellent musicians and numerous instruments on stage, the beautiful backdrops and of course, the fine fired up crowd!
Still tours some. Plays at House of Blues in Vegas pretty regular with his beautiful wife Cindy on the drums. Think about that, from the original Woodstock to today. Amazing! A living legend! So,so, much wonderful music from this man and the great musicians he has collaborated with for decades.
Strongly suggest you delve deep into the Universal Tone that is SANTANA!
I had forgotten how great this song was.
One of dad’s favorite songs 😢I miss him soooo much
Amazing guitarist! Before reacting to Santana live at Woodstock I recommend "Evil Ways", "No One to Depend On", and "Oye Como Va".
As a million others have recommended, the first live performance of Santana just has to be Soul Sacrifice at Woodstock. And definitely find the full version with the entire drum solo.
Also, everything from the Live in South America album is amazing.
Listening to Samba Para Ti live is a more vibrant experience. Also from that live album, give a listen to Nobody to Depend On and Oyo Como Va as well.as Black Magic Woman
Smooth or maria maria are amazing songs
"It's an instrumental apparently." And an utterly glorious one!
When you mentioned about how you wondered how people could listen to music without words, it reminded me of my son. I told him about how lots of instrumentals back in the 60s and 70s climbed the charts just as easily as the other songs and he couldn't believe it. I gave him the example of Love Is Blue staying at number one in 1968 for about seven or eight weeks. It's interesting that there are people who think that.
The studio version of the zombies she’s not there covered by Santana is amazing.
From Moonflower!
There is a great live version of this song in the live album called: 'SANTANA LIVE IN SOUTH AMERICA' although the whole album was recorded in Mexico City, there is a video of thiis concert here on YT.
Jose Feliciano did a cover of Samba Pa' Ti with Carlos Santana where he wrote lyrics in Spanish. It's a fantastic cover.
"Samba Pa Ti" was one of the tunes used in my ballroom dance classes -- strangely enough, despite the title, it's actually more of a Rumba rhythm, not a samba, which would be quite a bit faster. 🙂 If memory serves, we used that song during our final tests. Great times ... thanks for the memories!
Greg Rolie on the Hammond, ace!
Great reaction, Sam and Phil! I love Satana. Definitely listen to Soul Sacrifice from Woodstock. It, too, is an instrumental. There are two versions of the performance. The longer one incudes a fantastic drum solo that is cut out of the shorter one.
song of the wind next please
Loved it!
Yes, Carlos sings with his guitar. The organist, Greg Rollie, was the lead vocals on early Santana.
Great reaction guys! I have seen Santana 4 or 5 times and always a fantastic show... lights go out, then the people stand up!
Where to go next??? Long list man... older stuff is like "Soul Sacrifice", "Oye Como Va", "Europa", "No One To Depend On", "Taboo", "Guajira", "Everything's Coming Our Way", "Evil Ways", "Jingo"...
His newer stuff "Into The Night", "Maria Maria", "corazon Espinado", "Put Your Lights On", "Africa Bamba"...
He also has collaborations such as "The Healer" with John Lee Hooker and "While My Guitar Gently Weeps"... very tastefully sexy! "Cry Baby Cry" with Sean Paul and Joss Stone
Enjoy!
You should hear " Midnight thought " and " Hela " by Malo, a band started by Santana`s brother Jorge Santana. Both are instrumentals, inspired by Santana`s brothers genius.
First song, my parents dance too. Don't keep up the great work. Much love from Lawton Fort Sill Oklahoma ***THE GERBLAXICAN ***
Soul sacrifice from Tanglewood live.
Anyone who wants to know what 70's Santana was all about needs to watch that whole concert. It's here on UA-cam.
If you react to "Soul Sacrifice" I highly recommend the film version of Woodstock (the one that is 9:38 long)..It is the best quality, and is edited to show just enough of the audience to make it real interesting!..After that an even better (imho) version of "SS" and of 'Black Magic Woman" from their show almost exactly a year later at "Tandlewood' exists. Obviously Woodstock had all the history, and the crazy stories surrounding it, to its advantage, but musically, Tanglewood is off the charts great!
"Incident At Neshabur" by Santana is another great one that is not as popular.
I'm burnt out on Santana, but the Abraxas album...never!
I lived on the Santana Greatest Hits 8-track as a 10 year old.
(And I'd sneak my brother's Abraxas lp to stare at "her" lol)
YO MAN, I LOVE UR HAIRCUT ALOT, U ARE HANDSOME AF!
Hey Guys Please Next Soul Sacrifice Live at Woodstock 1969
It doesn't get any better than "Soul Sacrifice" at Woodstock for a live performance...Also, "Samba Pa Ti" is just a great instrumental, and so is "Moonflower".If you were ever to explore instrumentals you would have enough music for months...
One of the first things I learned to play, it proves that the melody and the music is far more important than any virtuosity. Dont bother learning to play 64ths like a demon, learn to write tunes that make people smile. this is genius.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤yes Soul Sacrifice❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Wonderful piece and have enjoyed it always. Abraxas was a seminal Album, however Moonflower (double album) was also excellent. As a side note the Zombies song " She,s not There" was covered on Moonflower and its like the original but very good and with the extra instruments gives it more depth. The "Inner Secrets" album is also very good.
👍👍👍👍👍
Nobody knew Santana......but everybody knew Samba Pa Ti, even having no clue who or what Santana was. That was in 1971, I mean I was a Santana fan all my life, saw him live in 1976 and again in 1993 open air. What I try to say, this certain song was the smash it at all of Santana. Fun fact, the most CDs I got from a band is from or of Santana, guess about 10 or more.
Santana concert is such an Experience, love this track, seen them Live twice, Check this out to see how versatile the band is. Santana - Carnaval / Let The Children Play / Jugando (Live "Moonflower" Version) 🤘
The long version comes to the rythm flow
Soul Sacrifice from Woodstock would be splendid 🥰 long version if possible 🎸❤️🔥
The number 1 performance at Woodstock was Santana's soul sacrifice, you should do the live performance next.
Europa is the best Santana instrumental. Brightest Star from the Zebop album is the most unheralded great Santana song.
I agree with the Europa comment, especially the live version on the Moonflower double album. Also the only way to listen to Soul Sacrifice is the Woodstock version. They were supposed to be on later so had been smoking, when their session was brought forward, and it showed. Not in the music though, which was perfect.
Another band who can tell a story without words is Genesis. 'The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway' album is filled with amazing musical 'pictures'.
You should check out Grand Funk Railroad singing I'm Your Captain at Shea Stadium.
Have seen Santana live in the UK many times, Caravanseria his best album in my opinion, try 'America' from one of his later albums.
Someone mentioned EUROPA, which I agree with. Also, OYE COME VA.
