Santana

In April 1987, Santana was riding a wave of resurgence after the release of their album 'Beyond Appearances' earlier that year. This live recording from East Berlin captures the band's electrifying energy as they performed in a venue that was symbolic of the cultural shifts happening in the wake of the Cold War. Fun fact: 'Beyond Appearances' was notable for featuring more rock and pop influences, moving slightly away from their traditional Latin rock roots. The Berlin concert was particularly poignant at the time, showcasing not just Santana's musical prowess but also the spirit of unity and hope permeating through a city on the brink of change. It was an exciting moment where music served as a bridge, echoing the band’s ethos of connection through sound.
