Santana

Ok, in this post I'd like to share some songs by Carlos Santana, the famous guitarist. If you're not listening to Santana yet, you really should play the following songs. Me saying that he is a great musician is not even necessary. It would be like me saying to you something like "chocolate is good". It's that good believe me!

His music is wonderfully smooth and always up-to-date. Even if he's been playing since the 60's, he always collaborated with other musicians. He also commands massive respect in the music industry for promoting talented young musicians.

These are songs I really love, all of them produced by Santana, featuring various other great artists:

1. Adouma - from the album Shaman, featuring Angelique Kidjo.

God, I just forgot that this song always sticks to my mind. Adouma-douma-douma-douma :) Brings back memories too. 

2. You are my kind - also from Shaman. Santana and Seal. 

This is a more laid back beat, but very nice and smooth. This is what I understand by a true love song. I'm not into the whole soapy emotional stuff. This is just real. If you were ever in love, you'll definitely enjoy this.

3. The entire Shaman album :)

You should really get this one. It's an amazing album. It works in every situation. You can hang out with friends and have it playing in the background, you can use it for long driving situations, walking to school with your headphones on etc. It's a great mixture of musical styles, all held together by Santana's amazing guitar playing.

4. Into The Night- from the album Ultimate Santana, with Chad Kroeger from Nickelback.

Chad Kroeger has a wonderful voice. It works wonders with Santana's guitar.

5. Smooth - from the album Supernatural, with vocals by Rob Thomas from Matchbox 20.

Just like the name states, it's a very smooth song.

Okay, this is my short selection of Santana songs, but really, I have yet to hear a bad song produced by this guy. It's just the kind of music that you can listen to no matter what genre you're into. There's always something new in Santana's music and it's really addictive. Great job Carlos, i give you my humble thanks for creating this amazing music!

Keep listening to great songs!

All the best,

Stefan

PS: Writing this post made me so happy. It's really wonderful to listen to music like this; it just makes you a better person. It would really take a lot to spoil my day now.
