Santana "Abraxas"

Product description

Released in 1970, Abraxas, Santana’s second album, sees the band expanding its already wildly diverse Latin rock sound by adding deeper elements of blues and jazz to the sizzling mix. Abraxas is home to two more of the group’s signature monster hits: the hypnotic, rhythmically hectic interpretations of Tito Puente’s “Oye Como Va” and Fleetwood Mac’s “Black Magic Woman.”

"Black Magic Woman," the Top Five hit from Abraxas, is definitive Santana: Afro-Latin grooves and piercing lyrical psychedelic blues guitar. It was a cover of a Fleetwood Mac song written by one of Carlos Santana's guitar heroes, Peter Green. The album's other hit was also a cover: Tito Puente's "Oye Como Va." - www.rollingstone.com
