New Santana Album "Africa Speaks"


Santana has a new album out; since it's not quite jazz, and I'm not sure if it's Rock, I'll just throw it up for grabs and see who likes it.

Africa Speaks is inspired by music from the continent of Africa, and has been called a "unique fusion of rock, Latin and jazz". Many of the album's tracks were recorded in one take. The album features vocals from Spanish singer Buika.

Africa Speaks was released on June 7, 2019 by Concord Records and Suretone Records, but this is the first time I've seen it on "you-tube"

Since it has been hard for me to find anything by Santana that I didn't like, I'll refrain from expressing my biased opinion.

Interesting perspective.

The few make it worth the effort. You’ll just have to trust me on this. I get PM’s. Difficult as it may be to fathom, hard as it may be to swallow, there are other people with other points of view, people who don’t care all that much for being preached at, but neither do they appreciate snotty comments like yours, so they keep quiet. Not me. So snark away. Take it as a badge of honor, I do.

So this really isn’t just about music or sound compression at all is it?
It may have started out that way by the the OP. Not a friendly forum however, I guess that is just the nature of the beast.

African mumbo jumbo...really? I suggest people attend an Arturo O’Farrill’s Afro-Latin Jazz Orchestra show (Birdland) and see what "snowflakes" are into, as the punch and rhythm of Latin music is all Africa...I bet Neil Diamond knows that...
