Santana

In 1996, when Santana performed 'Angélica Faith' at the Théâtre Antique de Vienne, the band was riding the wave of resurgence following their Grammy-winning album 'Supernatural,' released in 1999. However, at the time of the concert, they had just released 'Meditations,' which showcased their diverse musical influences, blending rock with Latin rhythms. This live performance stands out, as it reflects the deep connection Santana had with his audience, merging powerful guitar solos with a hypnotic stage presence. Fun fact: 'Supernatural,' which would come later, featured collaborations with artists like Rob Thomas and Dave Matthews, further thrusting Santana into a new era of mainstream success. But even in this performance in Vienne, you can see the roots of that collaboration strategy forming, echoing an enticing blend of sounds that would become his signature.
