Soul Sacrifice is the first ever biography of Carlos Santana - the most famous Latin American musician in the world. This genuine "rags to riches" story traces his life from a childhood playing Mariachi music on the streets of Tijuana, through to worldwide superstardom. Founded on his own unique Afro-Latin-Blues guitar sound, his eponymouslynamed multi-racial band, emerged from the late sixties San Francisco scene and gained instant legendary status following their rapturously received set at Woodstock. Through subsequent LPs like Abraxas and Saritana Hl, the band have gone on to sell over 35 millión albums and played to millions across the globe. Carlos Santana's musical joumey has alsó embraced a number of intriguing tangents, including complex jazz odysseys like Caravanserai and Welcome and collaborations with John McLaughlin, Alice Coltrane and Herbie Hancock. After receiving a lifetime achievement award from Billboard magaziné in 1996, Santana recently returned to the fray with his first studio album in seven years. Featuring collaborations with Lauryn Hill, Dave Matthews and Eric Clapton, Supernatural once again placed Santana at the number one spot on Billboarcfs US chart - as did its first single, "Smooth" - confirming the longevity of Santana's appeal. Simon Leng has enjoyed unprecedented access to band members and associates, and most importantly Carlos Santana himself, producing a gripping portrait of a World Music pioneer who is alsó one of the most distinctive and influential guitarists of all time. i i Vissza
