Devadip Carlos Santana

Carlos Santana is a Latin, Rock, Blues, Jazz and Fusion guitarist born in Mexico in 1947. Most of his musical career has been spent with Santana, the band he formed in San Francisco in 1966. His music underwent large changes in 1973 when he was introduced to the spiritual leader Sri Chinmoy, by fellow guitarist Mahavishnu John McLaughlin and saxophonist John Coltrane.
