Carlos Santana gives concert in Budapest! – Miraculous 2020

His band was founded in 1966; their debut album Santana was published in 1969 and played at Woodstock festival. One year later, their new album Abraxas made them world-renowned, including Oye Como Va and Black Magic Woman as well – which were on the top of the charts for sixteen weeks and several million discs were sold worldwide. In 1971, Santana III achieved similar success.

As the Hungarian news portal Borsonline reports, during his half-century-long career, Santana created such great hits as Europa, Evil Ways, Samba Pa Ti, Everybody’s Everything, No One To Depend On or Maria Maria. He collaborated with John McLaughlin, Herbie Hancock, Eric Clapton, Jack DeJohnette, Alice Coltrane, John Lee Hooker, Wayne Shorter and Aretha Franklin as well. In addition to the first three albums, the most outstanding hits have been Supenatural (1999), Shaman (2002) and All That I Am (2005).

Carlos Santana comes to Hungary for the 12^th time; he first gave a concert in May 1983. Before the end of his show at Budapest Sports Hall, he was informed about the birth of his son – one and a half-hour long magic came after. In 2004, the “newborn” visited Budapest as the keyboardist of his father’s band. In 2008, they performed in front of 300 thousand people. In 2011, at Budapest Arena, the musician suggested setting a sculpture for his maestro, Gábor Szabó, who taught him to play blues.
