Skillfully blending elements of 12-bar blues, fiery rock riffs and sensuous Afro-Cuban rhythms, and featuring his passionate, instantly recognizable guitar style, Carlos Santana created a unique, magical sound. It is a sound that remains, - like the long, sustained notes that mark his distinctive guitar solos - as powerful, as moving and as meaningful as ever, nearly 45 years after Carlos first shared it with the world.
Carlos Santana was born on July 20, 1947 in Autlan de Navarro, Jalisco, Mexico, and introduced to traditional music by his father, José, an accomplished mariachi violinist, who taught Carlos the basics of music theory and gave him an understanding of the value of a note.
In 1955 the Santanas moved to Tijuana, where an eight-year old Carlos inspired by the sounds he heard on the radio started on the guitar. He was influenced by such classic guitarists as Chuck Berry, B.B. King, John Lee Hooker, T-Bone Walker and played in several local bands.
