Santana

In 1989, when Santana performed 'Iee Iee Jungle Music' at The Mountain Winery in Saratoga, they were riding the momentum of their 'Freedom' album, which had been released the previous year. This album marked a significant moment for the band as it reflected their evolution into a more experimental sound, blending rock and Latin influences—a hallmark of Santana's iconic style. Interestingly, this live recording captures the energy of Santana's performances during a time when they were reconnecting with audiences after a decade of various changes in the musical landscape. Not only does the performance showcase their legendary guitar work, particularly by Carlos Santana, but it also occurred during a period of rejuvenation for the band, right before they released the critically acclaimed ' Spirits Dancing in the Flesh' just a few years later.
