"In the beginning and in the end,
it is the cry- the cry of love and life, of despair and
death, and of passion and music-that is Santana."
-Carlos Santana, 1969
With great passion and precision, Soul Sacrifice faithfully
recreates the music of the legendary band Santana. Featuring
burning renditions of Latin-infused rock classics such as
Oye Como Va, Black Magic Woman, Jingo and Soul Sacrifice;
plus breathtaking delivery of guitar ballads including Europa
and Samba Pa Ti, Soul Sacrifice captures and delivers up
the signature multi-cultural sound and spirit that is Santana.
Unlike any other artist, Carlos Santana has created a successful
fusion of latin, rock, jazz, blues, soul and more. From
the electrifying breakthrough performance at Woodstock in
1969 to the recent smash hits of the albums "Supernatural"
and "Shaman", Santana's music has appealed to
multiple generations of fans, transcending age, ethnicity
and genre -creating the music that has become the soundtrack
for the world.
