 Carlos Santana. I am sure you've heard of this name. No? Shame on you! A lot of people have a strong following for guitarists like Jimmy Page, Jimmy Hendrix, Eric Clapton etc etc. Well, Santana is ma MAN! What Carlos plays, never failed to impress me. Specially this album "Abraxas" that came out in 1969 is totally occult and just takes me to a different plane of existence. Try listening to the first track and tell me that's not something eerie, occult and transcendental. I also love the tagline for the album that reads:
"We stood before it and began to freeze inside from the exertion. We questioned the painting, berated it, made love to it, prayed to it: We called it mother, called it whore and slut, called it our beloved, called it Abraxas...." The word "Abraxas" has use within Gnostic cosmology. I also recommend tracks that Santana played at the 1969 WoodStock festival. What can go wrong with Latin influenced Rock music, afro-cuban beats and a totally spiritual outlook towards producing music. Indeed a hitmaker!
