Light, Spirit, and Soul is a supernatural sermon on the power of connection. With new cuts of classics—“Europa”, “Black Magic Woman”, “Samba Pa Ti”, and “A Love Supreme”—Light, Spirit, and Soul is indispensable listening for any true music fan. Turn your lights low, your volume up, and be transported.

About the Creator and Performer

Few musicians in the history of American popular music inspire the same reverence as Carlos Santana. For more than four decades, he has been one of the music world's most distinctive and exciting guitarists, maintaining his reputation as an artist who continues to revolutionize the form.
Long before listeners knew terms like "fusion" and "world music," Santana was already a master who blended genres and traditions into a sound that was all his own. It's no wonder the young guitarist generated so much excitement as a foremost member of the Bay Area's fertile music community of the late 1960s.
With the release of his debut album Santana and an incendiary set at Woodstock in 1969, Santana established himself as one of the key artists of the era, gaining worldwide fame for his band's combination of Latin, jazz, blues, rock, and R&B. The new star proved his staying power when Santana remained on the Billboard charts and successors Abraxas and Santana III both reached No. 1.
In 1998, Santana was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. In addition to racking up career sales of more than 100 million records, he earned another spot in history books when Supernatural — the multiplatinum 1999 album that included such hits as "Smooth" and "Maria Maria" — won nine Grammy Awards, tying the record for most wins by a single project.
In 2014, he published his best-selling memoir, The Universal Tone: Bringing My Story to Light. Santana continues to inspire the same reaction at shows by the current incarnation of the band that bears his name. His team of first-tier players includes drummer Cindy Blackman Santana (Lenny Kravitz, Pharoah Sanders), bassist Benny Rietveld (Miles Davis, Sheila E.), keyboardist David K. Mathews (Tower of Power, Etta James), and percussionist Karl Perazzo (Mariah Carey, Tito Puente).

Santana… always a joy!

Listening to Santana tell any part of his story is always such a joy. His humility and viewpoints are that of a shaman or guru. He gets it! Music, life, and wisdom… He encompasses it all!!

Super Natural

So great to hear Santana talk about his journey in his own words. The music isn’t canned but played essentially “live” with the natural feeling that only Santana can bring. Here in the Alamo City, we have a deep love for Carlos Santana and there is a very special connection with him. This was like having a great conversation with him on the patio over a couple cervezas. Thanks Carlos for being super natural and real.

A unique men, an extraordinary musician

This is a brief and amazing taste of Carlos Santana, both the man and his music. The latter is mind blowingly superb. The former makes you want to smile.
