To feel the music of Santana, whether it was radiating from the stage of the Woodstock festival on a steamy August afternoon in 1969, or bursting forth from a top 40 station on the car radio, or heard in a thousand venues from the Fillmore to Wembley, from Atlanta to Osaka, from the Cotton Bowl to the Waldorf-Astoria Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame induction dinner in 1998, is to experience a vision that is humble and uplifting at the same time. Hear the soaring riffs, infectious rhythms, and the all-encompassing rock-soul-jazz-Latin-R&B one-world groove that have set Santana apart, and know in your heart that this is timeless music. The magic that informs every note played by Carlos Santana reaches a new intensity with SHAMAN, his long-awaited second album on Arista Records. The album was produced by Carlos Santana and Clive Davis, and executive produced by Antonio "LA"Reid, President and CEO, Arista Records. Its release was preceded by the first single (and video), "The Game Of Love,"featuring Michelle Branch. She was the first to be introduced - the song came in as the #1 most-added track at top 40 radio, Mainstream AC and Hot AC upon its impact in September - but the album's guest list goes on to include Citizen Cope, Dido, Placido Domingo, Macy Gray, Melky Jean, Chad Kroeger, Alejandro Lerner, Musiq, Me'Shell Ndegeocello, Ozomatli, P.O.D., Seal, Michael Shrieve, Govner Washington and producers Wyclef Jean, KC Porter and Kike Santander. SHAMAN, of course, is the eagerly anticipated follow-up to Supernatural. Released in June 1999, the phenomenal career landmark sold over 25 million worldwide and spent 102 weeks on the Billboard 200 Album chart, including 12 weeks at #1. It also generated an all-time record-breaking nine Grammys at the awards ceremonies that took place in February 2000, including Album Of the Year and Best Rock Album. ...more...info at: http://www.soundgenerator.com/directory/artists_detail.cfm?ArtistID=3293&page=biog
