Today's song, fittingly for the week before Christmas, is titled "Brotherhood" a song originally on their "Beyond Appearances" release in the mid-1980's. This is a live version frommm1986 from a Mountain View show. The band was, of course, named after Carlos Santana and he remains the only original member. Their ever changing lineup has Carlos' distinctive guitar sound as a centerpiece in all lineups. Formed in the Bay Area in the late 60's they have come to own their small slice of the rock'n'roll pie with a generally upbeat, percussion heavy sound. Carlos had great success a few years back with a couple of releases that were essentially "duet" albums with the newer generation of vocalists and performers.
Me, I love the Santana band of the first 3-4 albums. But this is a nice upbeat tune done live to great effect.
