Santana III

Description

Hendrix wanted to record with Santana. In this guitarist, he had perceived the vengeful flame of a true creator, physical and metaphysical. But the Mexican knew himself to be the bearer of a sacred flame, that of the Aztecs. And on this third record, he manages to organize a dazzling electric ballet. Intertwining his liquid solos with those of a young and lean prodigy named Neil Schon, supported by an army of percussionists among whom the human dynamo Mike Shrieve reigns supreme, Santana offers his most Hendrixian album, a true declaration of independence.
