1001 Albums Summary

This fucking rocks. I was hesitant on this one considering the pretty lame aura that surrounds Santana’s music and it took a few tracks to get into but I ended up really loving how unique this sounded. I guess I would call it fusion but it has many hints of salsa and even Bossa nova thrown into the mix that separate it from the fusion standards (Zappa, Mahavishnu etc.) that I’ve listened to, at least. Standouts are Oye Como Va, Mother’s daughter and Hope you’re feeling better.
