Biography

The legendary guitarist Carlos Santana (full name Carlos Augusto Alves Santana) was born in 1947 in Autlan de Navarro. Carlos has been familiar with music since the very childhood: the musician’s father violinist Jose Santana started teaching his son how to play the violin when Carlos was five years old. Later he took interest in guitar, inspired by the play of such legends as B.B. King, John Lee Hooker and T-Bone Walker. Santana was invited to the local band, where he got the priceless experience and impressed everyone by his original manner of play. Thereby Carlos’ signature sound included elements of various genres, from Latin music to rock’n’roll.
