& lt; p & gt; Born July 20, 1947, Outlan de Navarro — American virtuoso guitarist, actor, composer and producer. & lt; / p & gt; & lt; p & gt; When Carlos was five years old, his father, professional violinist Jose Santana, considered it his duty to teach his eldest son the basics of music theory and playing the violin. & lt; / p & gt; & lt; p & gt; In 1955, the Carlos family moved from Outlan to Tijuana, where rock and roll was fashionable at that time. An eight-year-old boy picked up a guitar, which he began to learn to play with the help of his father. Having mastered the basics of the game, he began to imitate B.B. King, John Lee Hooker (with whom he later made several recordings) and T-Bone Walker. Within a couple of years, he was invited to the local TJ & rsquo; S team. The parents did not mind, since the son's earnings significantly replenished the family budget. While playing in local bands, Carlos began to attract attention with his beautiful acting, remarkable invention and taste. & Lt; / p & gt; & lt; p & gt; After some time, the family moved to San Francisco. There Carlos was sensitive to various musical trends, developing and deepening his own style of guitar playing. & Lt; / p & gt; & lt; p & gt; After graduating from school in 1966, he felt quite experienced and gathered his own Santana Blues Band. The group was based on Santana himself and the singing keyboardist Greg Raleigh. Their debut took place at the famous Fillmore West Hall. Two years later, the musicians shortened the name to the more comfortable Santana. This name increasingly began to flicker along with the names of the blues giants. The first album with his participation was the live album The Live Adventures Of Al Kooper And Michael Bloomfield (1969). & Lt; / p & gt; & lt; p & gt; This line-up grew in popularity until the historic Woodstock Festival in 1969, where an audience of half a million was smitten with Soul Sacrifice. In November of the same year, the first Santana album of the same name was released. It mixes rock music and Latin American rhythms in a bizarre way. The playing style shown on this album has become Santana's trademark. & Lt; / p & gt; & lt; p & gt; Second disk — Abraxas (1970) — instantly topped the American charts. It includes the classic composition of Tito Puente Oye Como Va, as well as the immortal Black Magic Woman, who made Santana's version forget about its author, the great Peter Green. & Lt; / p & gt; & lt; p & gt; By the time the next album was recorded, Carlos had dominated the lineup. And in December 1971, Raleigh and Sean broke up with him. The disc Santana III (1971) marked the band's long hiatus. & Lt; / p & gt; & lt; p & gt; In September 1972, Carlos played a concert in Hawaii with singer and drummer Buddy Miles, which resulted in the record `` Live! ''. It was followed by the jazz fusion style Caravanserai — the piece is so complete that few people noticed that different compositions were recorded by different musicians. & lt; / p & gt; & lt; p & gt; Changes in the lineup brought to the point that one time before a concert in the famous Madison Square Garden; the band didn't have a percussionist. One of the viewers, James Lewis, offered his services — and got the job. With soloist Leon Thomas Santana went on a large-scale tour, fragments of which made up the triple live album Lotus (1975). & Lt; / p & gt; & lt; p & gt; In April 1973, Santana got married. His wife Urmila was committed to the teachings of guru Sri Chinmoy, — Carlos became interested in Hinduism and soon met another student of Sri Chinmoy, John McLaughlin. A duet of Hindus wrapped in jazz-rock was inevitable: the instrumental program Love Devotion Surrender loved the audience. Another instrumental opus ILLUMINATIONS (1974) — the fruit of the guitarist's collaboration with another fan of Sri Chinmoy, Alice Coltrane, could be fatal: the listeners were already tired of Carlos's experiments. & lt; / p & gt; & lt; p & gt; The team made an effort to catch up. However, the Borboletta record did not gain much popularity. Then the musicians' friend Bill Graham, who became their manager, got down to business. And things got better! Another change of singer — it was Greg Walker, and the bluesier Amigos (1976) took the band back. & lt; / p & gt; & lt; p & gt; 1977 brought two programs at once: Festival and Moonflower. In 1978 Santana embarked on a big tour, starting with the California Jam II. The second festival was far from the first, but the presence of Santana in its program provided 250 thousand spectators. Having driven through the New and Old Worlds (a joint Soviet-American performance was planned for July 4 at Palace Square in Leningrad, which caused an unprecedented stir in the USSR, but it was canceled by the Soviet authorities), the group recorded the disc Inner Secrets, notable for its tilt towards the disco style . & lt; / p & gt; & lt; p & gt; At the same time, Carlos embarks on a solo career, but the album Golden Reality (1979), in which in one of the compositions he turned to the music of the American academic composer Alan Hovaness, was unsuccessful. Following him, Santana released another double album The Swing Of Delight (1980) — instrumental jazz-rock opus. Then followed the program `` Zebop! '' (1981), which in a matter of months became `` gold ''. The participation of Carlos's team in the three-day US Festival full of superstars increased interest in the band and ensured the success of Shango. & Lt; / p & gt; & lt; p & gt; The following year, Santana presented fans with a strong solo album, Havana Moon. The next album, Beyond Appearances (1985), was downright weak, but did not shake the reputation of the guitarist invited to the famous Live Aid festival. & Lt; / p & gt; & lt; p & gt; As part of a tour in the summer of 1987, Santana visited Moscow, where they performed at the concert `` For World Peace. '' At the end of the same year, the instrumental solo album Blues For Salvador was released, which brought the author a Grammy. Even after the release of `` frostbitten '' the album Spirits Dancing In The Flesh (1990), the crowded concert halls did not diminish. The peak of the tour in 1991 was the Rock In Rio II festival. Bill Graham died that same year. Unsure of their future, the musicians canceled their contract with Columbia. & Lt; / p & gt; & lt; p & gt; In 1993 Santana embarked on the Sacred Fire tour. In its midst, Milagro entered the market, imbued with a Christian spirit (the influence of Carlos's second wife). & Lt; / p & gt; & lt; p & gt; In the summer of 1995, Santana hit the road again. In the same year, the Dance Of The Rainbow Serpent triple box set appeared, covering the entire career of the band — from Woodstock Soul Sacrifice to Chill Out. & lt; / p & gt; & lt; p & gt; In 1997, the maestro celebrated his half-century anniversary. And in 2001 he was finally given what he deserved. The hometown authorities organized a big celebration in honor of the musician. Santana was awarded with the keys to the city, and one of the major streets was named after him. `` I am deeply moved that my city has given me such an honor, '' — said the touched guitarist. In 2011, a school in Los Angeles was named after Santana: San Fernando Valley Regional Elementary School # 12 was named Carlos Santana Academy of the Arts. & Lt; / p & gt; & lt; p & gt; In March 2009, 62-year-old Santana and his 10-piece band embarked on a 13-concert tour of Latin America. & lt; / p & gt; & lt; p & gt; May 14, 2012 released an album of mainly instrumental compositions Shape Shifter, and on May 6, 2014 — album Coraz & oacute; n, which features such musicians as Gloria Estefan, Ziggy Marley and Santana's wife Cindy Blackman. & lt; / p & gt;
