Santana & Earth, Wind and Fire at Jiffy Lube Live

A virtuoso talent like no-one else in the world, Carlos Santana has a rare mastery over his instrument and plays with such unique flair that his musical presence is instantly recognizable to any listener. The world-renowned Mexican-American guitarist began his career performing with his bandmates in the Bay Area in 1966, and it didn't take long for the band's refreshing and innovative fusion of Afro-Cuban rhythms, traditional Latin sounds, blues, and rock to get noticed. In 1969, Santana was booked to play the now legendary Woodstock festival and their performance of the instrumental "Soul Sacrifice" was one of the most talked-about of the whole event. When the band released its debut album a few weeks later, it peaked at number four on the Billboard 200 and number 26 on the UK Albums Chart, which was just the beginning of their global success. Over the years, the group kept up a prolific pace with recording and touring until 1992, when they took a seven-year hiatus. They returned with Supernatural (1999), which won an unprecedented nine Grammy Awards for a single project (including Album of the Year and Record of the Year for “Smooth”), as well as three Latin Grammys. Today, Santana has sold more than 100 million records worldwide and in 1998 the group was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame for its incredible contribution to music.
