Santana

Thanks for your responses

Thank you jwong.

On the Supernatural CD the cuts I liked most included:

Da Le Yaleo
Africa Bamba
Migra
The Calling

On Shaman I most liked:

Adouma
Aye Aye Aye
Sideways

It seems that these are all more blues/jazz influenced than many of the other tracks. What I particularly like are the moving (to me) parts where his guitar sings, as in the very beginning of Da Le Yaleo or throughout Adouma. Of the above, I particularly love The Calling instrumentals of Clapton and Santana, each playing off the other at the beginning few minutes of that track. I liked the jazzy latin sound of his guitar in Africa Bamba.

Since starting this thread, I've purchased Welcome, Abraxis and Blues for Salvador - they were all on sale for $9 canadian. (Santana 3 wasn't available.) Of these, I most enjoyed Blues for Salvador. It's exactly what I wanted at this time --- great featured playing by Santana and high energy (especially the title cut). Of course, the other two cds are also very enjoyable. I look forward to Santana 3 when I can find it.

Thanks to all for your suggestions.
