Today is the 40th anniversary of the release of one of the crown jewels of the Sony Music catalog. On September 16, 1970, Columbia Records issued Abraxas, the second album by Santana. An album that belongs in every person's library, Abraxas has it all, from unforgettable cover art to several legendary Santana tracks: "Black Magic Woman," "Hope You're Feeling Better," and, of course, "Oye Como Va." Listen to it today.

Many of the San Francisco bands jammed the night away: those late shows at the Fillmore could last until dawn. Guitarist Carlos Santana’s aggregation, however, worked a new spin on the extended riff decathlon by injecting the dynamics of Latin music, giving their music a more sensuous, rhythmic underpinning. Their psychedelic salsa made a big splash at the Woodstock Festival, which led to their 1969 Columbia album debut that included “Jingo,” the mud-splattered “Soul Sacrifice,” and this, their initial entry into the pop Top 10.

Musician and philanthropist Carlos Santana proposed to acclaimed drummer Cindy Blackman onstage during his Friday, July 9 concert at the Midwest Bank Amphitheatre in Tinley Park, IL. Carlos popped the question four songs into the show-the Chicago area stop on Santana's Universal Tone Tour 2010-following Cindy's virtuoso drum solo on the Santana hit "Corazon Espinado." After she accepted, the just-engaged couple kissed, and the audience broke out into cheers.

Santana brought Latin music to a wide audience in the U.S. by combing Hispanic dance rhythms with blues-rock, often employing a jam format to weave the two together to the point where they were truly one. Later on, more and more jazz influenced entered the mix. Founded in San Francisco in 1967 by guitarist extraordinaire Carlos Santana, the band reached out 6000 miles to cover another great guitarist’s song, Peter Green’s “Black Magic Woman.” World Beat before the term was even invented!

The video for Santana's "Angel Love" premiere's today on VEVO!.
