 moreCarlos Santana formed the Santana Blues Band with guitarist
keyboardist/singer Gregg Rolie in 1966. During the group's early days, the
lineup was volatile, with the membership settling down to Carlos, Rolie, bassist
David Brown, drummer Bob "Doc" Livingston, and percussionist Marcus Malone in
1967, around which time the group lost the "Blues Band" from their name.
Promoter Bill Graham discovered the band and booked Santana to play his Fillmore
West on June 16, 1968. The group soon landed a deal with Columbia Records, which
enlisted producer David Rubinson to capture the band playing the Fillmore West
in December; these tapes were shelved until Columbia/Legacy issued them in 1997
as Live at the Fillmore 1968.

Prior to recording their first album in early 1969, Santana swapped Livingston
and Malone for Michael Shrieve and Mike Carabello, adding percussionist José
Chepitó Areas as well. This incarnation recorded the group's eponymous debut,
then set out on tour, where they had a career-making appearance at the Woodstock
festival in August 1969. That was the same month Santana appeared in the record
stores, and it was a swift success, climbing its way to number four on
Billboard's album charts during the course of its two-year run on the charts.
The album was assisted by Santana's show-stealing performance in 1970's
Woodstock documentary and the single "Evil Ways," which peaked at number nine on
Billboard's Hot 100 in 1970. In September of that year, Santana released
Abraxas, which bested its predecessor: it peaked at number one, stayed on the
charts for a year-and-a-half, and generated two major hits with "Black Magic
Woman," which reached number four on Billboard, and "Oye Como Va," which peaked
at 13.

The ranks of Santana expanded on 1971's Santana -- commonly called Santana III
-- with guitarist Neil Schon joining the fold and percussionist Coke Escovedo
replacing an ailing Areas. Santana III became the third successive smash for the
band, peaking at number one and generating a big hit with "Everybody's
Everything," which reached number 12 on Billboard's Hot 100.

Santana III marked the end of the classic lineup of the band. Upon the
conclusion of its supporting tour, the group broke up, with Carlos retaining the
rights to the band name. He soon assembled a different version of the band
featuring Rolie, Schon, and Areas, debuting this lineup on Caravanserai, a 1972
album that found the guitarist pushing forward into jazz. Although the album
peaked at eight on Billboard and earned a Grammy nomination for Best Pop
Instrumental Performance with Vocal Coloring, it ceased the group's commercial
momentum, which did nothing to deter the guitarist's appetite for musical
exploration. Soon, he started dividing his time between his band and solo
projects. First came Carlos Santana & Buddy Miles: Live!, an LP that captured
performances from their joint tour of December 1971-April 1972. Next, he teamed
with guitarist John McLaughlin and his fusion band the Mahavishnu Orchestra to
record 1973's Love Devotion Surrender. This album was informed by Santana's
increased interest in spirituality. McLaughlin introduced him to his guru Sri
Chinmoy, and Carlos soon became a disciple, adopting the name Devadip -- meaning
"the lamp, light, and eye of God" -- in the process. Along these lines, Carlos
teamed with Alice Coltrane in 1974 for Illuminations, a jazz fusion duet album.
That same year, the Santana band released the triple-live album Lotus, recorded
in Japan; over the years, its reputation grew, and it would eventually be
reissued by Columbia/Legacy in a "complete edition" in 2017.

While he was expanding his musical and spiritual horizons, Carlos continued to
keep his namesake band active; from this point forward, the membership was
fluid, with musicians drifting in and out of the group on a regular basis. In
1973, a new lineup released Welcome, but its chart appearance illustrated how
Caravanserai alienated some of the group's fans: it peaked at 25 on Billboard.
Borboletta, released a year later, performed slightly better, reaching 20, but
it was clear the band was in jeopardy of losing their audience, so Carlos
decided to make 1976's Amigos as a commercially minded project. Reuniting with
producer David Rubinson, the man who'd helmed the group's initial hits, Santana
sounded slick and direct on Amigos, and their gambit paid off: the album peaked
at number ten on the Billboard charts. Rubinson and Santana swiftly delivered a
sequel in the form of Festival, which performed respectably upon its January
1977 release. By the end of the year, the band issued Moonflower, which
scattered studio cuts among live tracks; it peaked at ten, partially on the
strength of a cover of the Zombies' "She's Not There," which peaked at 27 --
their best showing on the Hot 100 since 1971. Another oldies cover -- "Stormy"
by the Classics IV -- was featured on 1978's Inner Secrets, an album that just
scraped the Top 30.

Carlos released his first official solo album Oneness: Silver Dreams Golden
Reality in March of 1979; the jazz-influenced album was billed to Devadip. Later
that year, the Santana band returned with Marathon, a more commercial-oriented
effort produced by Keith Olsen, which featured the single "You Know That I Love
You." Shortly afterward, Carlos released the solo album The Swing of Delight, a
collaboration with Rubinson that was billed to Devadip Carlos Santana. The band
bounced back in 1981 with Zebop!, which peaked at number nine thanks to the hit
single "Winning." "Hold On," the lead single from 1982's Shangó, went to 15
on the Hot 100, taking its parent album to 22. A solo album, this time billed to
"Carlos Santana" and called Havana Moon appeared in 1983, peaking at 31.

Following this prolific decade-and-a-half, Carlos started to slow the band's
studio output in the '80s. Santana didn't return with a new album until 1985,
when Beyond Appearances arrived in February of that year; its single "Say it
Again" topped out at 45, five rungs higher than 50 that was the album's peak
showing. Santana celebrated their 20th anniversary with a concert in 1986, but
1987's Freedom didn't make much of an impact on the charts, peaking at 95.
Carlos went solo in 1987 with Blues for Salvador, an album that snagged him his
first Grammy Award for its title track (Best Rock Instrumental Performance). A
lavish box-set retrospective called Viva Santana! appeared in 1988 -- it would
be certified gold -- and the Santana band returned in 1990 with Spirits Dancing
in the Flesh, which turned out to be their last album for their longtime home of
Columbia Records.

Santana signed with Polydor for 1992's Milagro, but the album failed to generate
much attention, peaking at 1992. A year later, the group released Sacred Fire:
Live in South America, which peaked at 181 on Billboard's Top 200. In 1994,
Carlos teamed with his brother Jorge and his nephew Carlos Hernandez for the
Santana Brothers album; it scraped the Top 200, reaching 191. While Carlos
worked with his brother, Rolie, Areas, and Carabello formed a separate group
called Abraxas Pool, releasing the Abraxas Pool album in 1994.

During the rest of the '90s, Santana drifted ever closer to the oldies circuit,
but their fortunes were revived when their old supporter Clive Davis signed the
group to Arista in 1998. Davis designed a star-studded comeback for Santana that
took the form of Supernatural, a 1999 album that exceeded any possible
expectations. Thanks to the single "Smooth," a song featuring Matchbox Twenty
singer Rob Thomas (who also co-wrote the tune), Supernatural became an
international blockbuster, topping the charts throughout the world, earning a
coveted diamond certification in the U.S. and winning eight Grammy Awards,
including Record of the Year and Album of the Year. Supernatural produced
another number one single in the form of "Maria Maria," which featured Wyclef
Jean and G&B Product, but it was "Smooth" that kept Supernatural on the top of
the charts for 12 weeks. Santana delivered Shaman, their Supernatural sequel, in
2002. Thanks to the hit single "The Game of Love" -- a song co-written by Gregg
Alexander of the New Radicals and sung by Michelle Branch; it peaked at five and
won the Grammy for Best Pop Collaboration with Vocals -- the album was another
cross-demographic hit, peaking at number one on Billboard and earning
double-platinum certification by the RIAA.

Arriving in 2005, All That I Am debuted at two on Billboard, but effectively
brought Santana's revival as hitmakers to an end; its lead single, "I'm Feeling
You" -- which once again featured Michelle Branch on vocals -- topped out at 55.
Even though there were no hit singles forthcoming, Santana remained a fixture in
pop and rock culture. In 2010, they released Guitar Heaven, a collection of
classic rock covers featuring guest vocalists; debuting at five on Billboard, it
turned out to be their last album for Arista.

Shape Shifter, the band's 2012 album, was their first not to feature guests
since Milagro. Released on their Sony-distributed imprint Starfaith, the largely
instrumental album peaked at 16 upon its release. Santana returned to duets for
2014's Corazón, an album the spotlighted Latin music and featured appearances
by Pitbull, Gloria Estefan, Los Fabulosos Cadillacs, and Juanes. Carlos reunited
most of the Santana III lineup, featuring Rolie, Schon, Shrieve, and Carabello,
for Santana IV, an album released in April 2016. The next year, they issued
Power of Peace, a collaborative album with the Isley Brothers. It was Santana's
last album for Sony.

Santana signed with Concord in 2018. The first release in the contract was the
Narada Michael Walden-produced EP In Search of the Mona Lisa, which appeared in
January 2019. That June, Santana issued Africa Speaks. Produced by Rick Rubin,
it marked an auspicious collaboration between the Santana band and Spanish
vocalist Concha Buika. Its title track was co-composed by the guitarist and the
singer (they wrote most of the album together), and the late producer/arranger
David Axelrod. Other highlights included the single "Breaking Down the Door";
"Los Invisibles," which the pair wrote with Rachid Taha and Steve Hillage; and
Laura Mvula's "Blue Skies," one of two songs on which she made a guest
appearance. The LP debuted at number three on the U.S. Billboard 200.

Blessings and Miracles found Santana delivering another pop-leaning record
overfilled with guests. This time, Chris Stapleton, Steve Winwood, G-Eazy, Corey
Glover, Kirk Hammett, and Rob Thomas all joined Santana for a free-wheeling
pop-fusion LP. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
