Santana

In July 1983, during a time when Santana was enjoying a resurgence in popularity, the legendary band delivered an electrifying performance at the Nakano Sunplaza in Tokyo. This concert came shortly after the release of their album 'Shangó,' which hit the shelves in 1982 and marked a pivotal moment in their career, bridging classic rock and heavy Latin influences. The album included hits like 'Hold On,' showcasing Santana's incredible fusion of genres. By 1983, the band was riding high on renewed success after having endured a challenging period in the late '70s. This live recording not only captures the essence of that energetic era but also highlights Santana's masterful guitar work and the vibrant chemistry of the band, a testament to their enduring legacy in the music world.
