Biography [edit]

Early life [edit]

Santana was born in Autlán de Navarro in Jalisco, Mexico on July 20, 1947. He learned to play the violin at age v and the guitar at age eight, under the tutelage of his father, who was a mariachi musician.[6] His younger blood brother, Jorge, also became a professional guitarist. Santana was heavily influenced by Ritchie Valens at a time when there were very few Mexicans in American rock music. The family moved from Autlán to Tijuana, on the border with the U.S. They then moved to San Francisco, California, where his father had steady work.[6] [7] [8] [ix] In October 1966, Santana started the Santana Blues Band. By 1968, the band had begun to comprise different types of influences into their electric blues. Santana later said, "If I would go to some true cat'south room, he'd be listening to Sly [Rock] and Jimi Hendrix; some other guy to the Stones and the Beatles. Another guy'd be listening to Tito Puente and Mongo Santamaría. Another guy'd be listening to Miles [Davis] and [John] Coltrane... to me, it was like beingness at a university."[10]

Effectually the age of viii, Santana "cruel under the influence" of blues performers similar B.B. King, Javier Bátiz, Mike Bloomfield, and John Lee Hooker. Gábor Szabó's mid-1960s jazz guitar work also strongly influenced Santana's playing. Indeed, Szabó'southward composition "Gypsy Queen" was used every bit the second function of Santana's 1970 handling of Peter Dark-green's composition "Black Magic Adult female", almost down to identical guitar licks. Santana's 2012 instrumental anthology Shape Shifter includes a song called "Mr. Szabo", played in tribute in the fashion of Szabó. Santana also credits Hendrix, Bloomfield, Hank Marvin, and Peter Green as important influences; he considered Bloomfield a direct mentor, writing of a key coming together with Bloomfield in San Francisco in the foreword he wrote to a 2000 biography of Bloomfield, Michael Bloomfield: If You Love These Dejection – An Oral History.[11] Between the ages of 10 and 12, he was sexually abused by an American man who brought him across the border.[12] Santana lived in the Mission District, graduated from James Lick Centre School, and left Mission Loftier School in 1965. He was accepted at California State University, Northridge and Humboldt State University, only chose not to attend college.[13]

Early career [edit]

Santana was influenced by pop artists of the 1950s such as B.B. King, T-Os Walker, Javier Batiz,[15] and John Lee Hooker.[sixteen] Shortly afterward he began playing guitar, he joined local bands along the "Tijuana Strip" where he was able to begin developing his own sound.[sixteen] He was as well introduced to a variety of new musical influences, including jazz and folk music, and witnessed the growing hippie movement centered in San Francisco in the 1960s. Subsequently several years spent working as a dishwasher at Tic Tock Bulldoze-In No2 and busking to pay for a Gibson SG, replacing a destroyed Gibson Melody Maker,[17] Santana decided to become a full-time musician. In 1966, he was chosen along with other musicians to form an advertizing hoc band to substitute for that of an intoxicated Paul Butterfield set to play a Lord's day matinee at Pecker Graham's Fillmore Auditorium. Graham selected the substitutes from musicians he knew primarily through his connections with the Butterfield Blues Ring, Grateful Dead, and Jefferson Plane. Santana's guitar playing defenseless the attention of both the audition and Graham.[xviii]

During the same year he and fellow street musicians David Chocolate-brown (bass guitar), Marcus Malone (percussion) and Gregg Rolie (lead vocals, Hammond Organ B3), formed the Santana Blues Ring.[19] Playing a highly original blend of Latin-infused rock, jazz, blues, salsa, and African rhythms, the ring gained an firsthand following on the San Francisco gild excursion.

Record deal, Woodstock breakthrough, and height of success: 1969–1972 [edit]

Santana's ring was signed past Columbia Records, which shortened its name to simply "Santana".[twenty] It went into the studio to record its beginning anthology in January 1969, finally laying down tracks in May that became its first album. Members were not satisfied with the release, dismissed drummer Bob Livingston, and added Mike Shrieve, who had a stiff background in both jazz and rock. The ring then lost percussionist Marcus Malone, who was charged with involuntary manslaughter. Michael Carabello was re-enlisted in his place, bringing with him experienced Nicaraguan percussionist José Chepito Areas.

Major rock music promoter Bill Graham, a Latin Music aficionado who had been a fan of Santana from its inception, arranged for the ring to appear at the Woodstock Music and Art Festival before its debut album was even released. Its set was one of the surprises of the festival, highlighted by an xi-infinitesimal performance of a throbbing instrumental, "Soul Cede". Its inclusion in the Woodstock film and soundtrack album vastly increased the band'southward popularity. Graham also suggested Santana tape the Willie Bobo song "Evil Ways", as he felt it would get radio airplay. The band'due south first album, Santana, was released in August 1969 and became a striking, reaching No. 4 on the U.S. Billboard 200.[21]

The band's performance at Woodstock and the follow-up sound runway and movie introduced them to an international audience and garnered critical acclamation. The sudden success which followed put pressure on the group, highlighting the different musical directions Rolie and Santana were starting to go. Rolie, forth with some of the other ring members, wanted to emphasize a basic hard rock sound which had been a key component in establishing the band from the start. Santana, however, was increasingly interested in moving beyond his love of blues and stone and wanted more jazzy, ethereal elements in the music. He became fascinated with Gábor Szabó, Miles Davis, Pharoah Sanders, and John Coltrane, likewise as developing a growing interest in spirituality. At the same time, Chepito Areas was stricken with a near-fatal encephalon hemorrhage, and Santana hoped to continue by finding a temporary replacement (kickoff Willie Bobo, then Coke Escovedo), while others in the ring, especially Michael Carabello, felt it was wrong to perform publicly without Areas. Cliques formed, and the band started to atomize.

Consolidating the interest generated by their get-go album, and their highly acclaimed live performance at the Woodstock Festival in August 1969, the band followed upwardly with their 2nd anthology, Abraxas, in September 1970. The album's mix of stone, blues, jazz, salsa and other influences was very well received, showing a musical maturation from their first album and refining the band'south early sound. Abraxas included 2 of Santana'south nearly enduring and well-known hits, "Oye Como Va", and "Blackness Magic Woman/Gypsy Queen". Abraxas spent six weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard chart at the stop of 1970.[22] The album remained on the charts for 88 weeks and was certified 4x platinum in 1986.[23] In 2003, the album was ranked number 205 on Rolling Stone magazine'due south list of the 500 greatest albums of all fourth dimension.[24]

Teenage San Francisco Bay Area guitar prodigy Neal Schon joined the Santana band in 1971, in time to complete the third album, Santana 3. The ring at present boasted a powerful dual-lead-guitar act that gave the album a tougher sound. The sound of the band was as well helped by the return of a recuperated Chepito Areas and the aid of Coke Escovedo in the percussion section. Enhancing the band's sound further was the support of popular Bay Area group Tower of Ability'southward horn department, Luis Gasca of Malo, and other session musicians which added to both percussion and vocals, injecting more free energy to the proceedings. Santana 3 was some other success, reaching No. 1 on the album charts, selling two million copies, and yielding the hit "No Ane to Depend On".

Tension between members of the band connected, withal. Along with musical differences, drug use became a problem, and Santana was deeply worried that it was affecting the band'south performance. Coke Escovedo encouraged Santana to take more control of the band's musical direction, much to the dismay of some of the others who thought that the band and its sound was a commonage effort. Also, financial irregularities were exposed while nether the direction of Stan Marcum, whom Bill Graham criticized as beingness incompetent. Growing resentments between Santana and Michael Carabello over lifestyle problems resulted in his deviation on bad terms. James Mingo Lewis was hired at the last minute as a replacement at a concert in New York City. David Brown later left due to substance abuse issues. A South American tour was cut brusk in Lima, Republic of peru due to unruly fans and pupil protests against U.S. governmental policies.

In January 1972, Santana, Schon, Escovedo, and Lewis joined former Ring of Gypsys drummer Buddy Miles for a concert at Hawaii's Diamond Head Crater, which was recorded for the album Carlos Santana & Buddy Miles! Live!, which became a gilt tape.

Caravanserai [edit]

In early on 1972, Santana and the remaining members of the band started working on their fourth album, Caravanserai. During the studio sessions, Santana and Michael Shrieve brought in other musicians: percussionists James Mingo Lewis and Latin-Jazz veteran, Armando Peraza replacing Michael Carabello, and bassists Tom Rutley and Doug Rauch replacing David Brown. As well assisting on keyboards were Wendy Haas and Tom Coster. With the unsettling influx of new players in the studio, Gregg Rolie and Neal Schon decided that it was time to leave afterwards the completion of the anthology, fifty-fifty though both contributed to the session. Rolie returned home to Seattle; subsequently, he and Schon became founding members of Journey.

When Caravanserai did emerge in 1972, it marked a strong change in musical direction towards jazz fusion. The album received critical praise, simply CBS executive Clive Davis warned Santana and the band that information technology would sabotage the band'south position as a "Height 40" human activity. Nevertheless, over the years, the album achieved platinum status. The difficulties Santana and the band went through during this menstruation were chronicled in Ben Fong-Torres' Rolling Stone 1972 cover story "The Resurrection of Carlos Santana".

Shifting styles and spirituality: 1972–1979 [edit]

New Yr's Eve 1976 at the Cow Palace in San Francisco

In 1972, Santana became interested in the pioneering fusion ring the Mahavishnu Orchestra and its guitarist, John McLaughlin. Aware of Santana's interest in meditation, McLaughlin introduced Santana and his wife Deborah to his guru Sri Chinmoy. Chinmoy accustomed them as disciples in 1973. Santana was given the name Devadip, meaning "The lamp, light and middle of God". Santana and McLaughlin recorded an album together, Dearest, Devotion, Surrender (1973) with members of Santana and the Mahavishnu Orchestra, along with percussionist Don Alias and organist Larry Young, both of whom had fabricated appearances, forth with McLaughlin, on Miles Davis' archetype 1970 album Bitches Brew.

In 1973, Santana, having obtained legal rights to the ring'due south proper noun, Santana, formed a new version of the band with Armando Peraza and Chepito Areas on percussion, Doug Rauch on bass, Michael Shrieve on drums, and Tom Coster and Richard Kermode on keyboards. Santana later was able to recruit jazz vocalist Leon Thomas for the tour supporting Caravanserai in Japan on July 3 and four, 1973, which was recorded for the 1974 alive, sprawling, high-energy triple vinyl LP fusion album Lotus. CBS records would not permit its release unless the material was condensed. Santana did not concord to those terms, and Lotus was available in the U.S. just every bit an expensive, imported, 3-record set. The grouping later went into the studio and recorded Welcome (1973), which further reflected Santana'south interests in jazz fusion and his increasing commitment to the spiritual life of Sri Chinmoy.

A collaboration with John Coltrane's widow, Alice Coltrane, Illuminations (1974), followed. The album delved into avant-garde esoteric gratuitous jazz, Eastern Indian and classical influences with other ex-Miles Davis sidemen Jack DeJohnette and Dave Kingdom of the netherlands. Soon after, Santana replaced his ring members over again. This time Kermode, Thomas and Rauch departed from the group and were replaced by singer Leon Patillo (later a successful Contemporary Christian artist) and returning bassist David Brown. He as well recruited soprano saxophonist, Jules Broussard for the lineup. The band recorded ane studio album Borboletta, which was released in 1974. Drummer Leon "Ndugu" Chancler later on joined the band as a replacement for Michael Shrieve, who left to pursue a solo career.

By this time, Bill Graham'south direction company had assumed responsibility for the affairs of the group. Graham was critical of Santana'due south movement into jazz and felt he needed to concentrate on getting Santana back into the charts with the edgy, streetwise indigenous sound that had made them famous. Santana himself was seeing that the group's direction was alienating many fans. Although the albums and performances were given good reviews past critics in jazz and jazz fusion circles, sales had plummeted.

Santana, forth with Tom Coster, producer David Rubinson, and Chancler, formed yet another version of Santana, adding vocalizer Greg Walker. The 1976 album Amigos, which featured the songs "Dance, Sister, Dance" and "Permit It Shine", had a strong funk and Latin sound. The anthology received considerable airplay on FM album-oriented rock stations with the instrumental "Europa (Earth'southward Cry Heaven's Grin)" and re-introduced Santana to the charts. In 1976, Rolling Stone ran a second comprehend story on Santana entitled "Santana Comes Home". In Feb 1976, Santana was presented with xv aureate disc in Australia, representing sales in excess of 244,000.[25]

The albums conceived through the belatedly 1970s followed the same formula, although with several lineup changes. Among the new personnel who joined was electric current percussionist Raul Rekow, who joined in early 1977. Well-nigh notable of the ring's commercial efforts of this era was a version of the 1960s Zombies striking, "She'due south Non There", on the 1977 double anthology Moonflower.

Santana recorded 2 solo projects in this time: Oneness: Silverish Dreams – Golden Reality, in 1979 and The Swing of Delight in 1980, which featured Herbie Hancock, Wayne Shorter, Ron Carter, and Tony Williams.

The pressures and temptations of being a high-contour stone musician and requirements of the spiritual lifestyle which guru Sri Chinmoy and his followers demanded were in conflict, and imposed considerable stress upon Santana's lifestyle and union. He was becoming increasingly disillusioned with what he thought were the unreasonable rules that Chinmoy imposed on his life, and in particular with his refusal to allow Santana and Deborah to start a family. He felt besides that his fame was existence used to increase the guru's visibility. Santana and Deborah eventually ended their relationship with Chinmoy in 1982.
