Santana – Samba Pa Ti

Going back to what i’ve said about tone and a sense of understanding to the rhthym, this is another toon that sounds amazing and i can listen to over and over again and try to imagine what Sanatana was going through when he thought out the tale of this unsung hero. It starts out sad and dejected and then it comes up and starts roaring. Almost like a whole lifetime being revealed in these short minutes. Slow and peacefull like a crying baby and then we pass through the blissful days of youth, adolescence, and adulthood, and old age. For me it seems like it chronicles a whole lifetime in the short period of four and a half minutes. “Samba Pa Ti.”

Santana Last.FM blurb:
Santana was formed originally in 1966 in San Francisco, California. Originally named The Santana Blues Band, they rose to international fame when they headlined at the Woodstock festival in 1969. This led to their second studio album, Abraxas(1970), becoming a Latin-Rock standard and a huge critical and commercial success. Over the years their line-up has changed constantly, allowing them to evolve with the times.

p.s. Listening to Samba Pa Ti over and over again.
