  Santana has spanned over 3
decades of music in various incarnations of
members and players, with Carlos Santana
always being the frontman and the inspiration
for their blend of world music and rock
sensibility. Carlos Santana was born July 20,
1947 in Mexico and later moved to California
with his family as a teenager. Musical
influences first came in the form of his
father who was a mariachi violinist. It was
in San Francisco where Carlos was able to
find a mix for his traditional Mexican
musical roots and his developing interests in
rock and roll within a diverse musical
community.
 Carlos Santana's success began
in San Francisco as part of the Santana Blues
Band by 1966. The group then
became Santana and performed at Woodstock. In
December, 1969, Santana was released and after
their impressive Woodstock performance,
Santana signed with Columbia Records. The
group hit it big with the classics "Evil
Ways" and "Jingo." The
original lineup of the group included Carlos,
Gregg Rolie, David Brown, Michael Shrieve,
Mike Carabello, and Jose Chepito. Santana was certified gold in
1969.

hits "Black Magic Woman / Gypsy
Queen" and "Oye Como Va" and
the LP topped the charts.
