Shaman

Description

There is a before and an after. Santana was one of the most talented artists of the 70s with the recording of legendary albums - whether rock, Latino, or fusion - such as "Caravanserai," "Welcome," and "Amigos." Today, he is not only one of the most respected musicians but also one of the most lucrative, as evidenced by the massive sales of his previous album. It is therefore no coincidence that "Shaman" features an impressive array of stars who participated in the recording of the album. The list is long: Musiq, Michelle Branch, Seal, Macy Gray, P.O.D., Citizen Cope, Chad Kroeger, Dido, Alejandro Lerner, Ozomatli, and - phew! - Plácido Domingo. The result is ultra-effective: even though his compositions are now steeped in the ink of a Latino variety aimed at the general public - hardcore fans, partygoers, and newcomers alike - Santana still plays the guitar beautifully, and the first single from the album, The Game of Love, has all the makings of a future holiday hit.
