Santana - Abraxas Album

Tying blues, rock, and salsa together in one intercultural package, the Abraxas album finds Santana broadening their musical horizons to include such diverse elements as English blues-rock (“Black Magic Woman”) and New York Latin percussion/dance music (Tito Puente's infectious "Oye Como Va.") The rest of the tracks are also very good and "Samba Pa Ti" is just a brilliant piece of mood music and great tone and phrasing on the part of Carlos on guitar. If you are learning to play the guitar and aspire to be as proficient as Carlos, or, are just a classic rock fan, this album is for you.
