| In 1966, Santana's music exploded on the streets of San Francisco with the debut performance of the Santana Blues Band. For the next two years, the group was caught up in a wave of popularity that took them from the stage of San Francisco's Fillmore West to their historic appearance at the Woodstock Festival in 1969. With that electrifying performance, Carlos Santana had arrived; and with him came both a powerful new Latin-flavored rock sound and an uncompromising dedication to his music - two factors that would influence people's live for well over a quarter century. |
