Santana

During his six-decade career, multi-Grammy-winning Rock and Roll Hall of Fame guitarist Carlos Santana has captivated fans worldwide with his unique fusion of rock, blues, jazz, and Latin music. His 2025 album, Sentient, showcases 11 mesmerizing tracks, including 3 previously unreleased songs, and features collaborations with legends like Michael Jackson, Miles Davis, Smokey Robinson, Paolo Rustichelli, and Cindy Blackman Santana. Remastered and sequenced in a way that allows a new and dramatic story to emerge.

The unreleased tracks include an alternate take of Smokey Robinson's "Please Don't Take Your Love," featuring Santana's searing guitar work, and "Coherence," a dynamic duet with Cindy Blackman Santana that highlights their unparalleled synergy. Another standout is a live instrumental version of Michael Jackson's "Stranger in Moscow," where Santana's guitar channels the King of Pop with soulful precision.

The album also revisits key moments in Santana's career, like the Latin-infused ballad "Whatever Happens" with Michael Jackson and collaborations with Miles Davis and Paolo Rustichelli. Additionally, remastered gems such as "Let the Guitar Play," a reimagining of "Song for Cindy" with Darryl 'DMC' McDaniels, and the Grammy-winning "Blues for Salvador" further enrich this retrospective.

For Santana, Sentient is a deeply personal journey through his storied career. "I can listen to this album and go, Did this really happen?" he reflects. Santana continues to innovate and inspire, proving his timeless relevance in music.
