Carlos Santana, known as Santana is an Mexican American / Latin musician and guitar player. Santana's band formed originally in 1966 in San Francisco, California. Originally named The Santana Blues Band, they rose to international fame when they headlined at the Woodstock festival in 1969, which led to their second studio album, Abraxas(1970) becoming a Latin-Rock standard, and a huge critical and commercial success. Over the years their line-up has changed constantly, allowing them to evolve with the times. Over 50 musicians have been in Santana over its 40 year history, but the only constant has been Carlos Santana himself.
