Abraxas

Santana

Searing electric guitar lines soaring over a thick bed of Latin percussion. The definitive fusion of San Francisco psychedelia and Afro-Cuban polyrhythms.

It's the ultimate late-night record where the guitar talks and the drums never stop dancing.

A heady, rhythmic trance that balances aggressive rock energy with moments of deep, soulful vulnerability.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The transition from the slinky blues of Black Magic Woman into the frantic, high-speed jam of Gypsy Queen.
The way the percussion section builds into a thunderous wall of sound during the climax of Incident at Neshabur.
That first soaring, weeping guitar note in Samba pa Ti that feels like it could hold forever.
