Santana

In July 1996, Santana performed live in Deauville, France, showcasing their vibrant energy and distinct fusion of rock and Latin music. This concert came shortly after the release of their album 'Ultimate Santana,' which dropped in 2004 but features many classic hits that defined their sound. Before this live recording, the band had rejuvenated their career in the late '90s with the success of 'Supernatural,' released in 1999, which included iconic tracks like 'Smooth.' By this time, Santana was enjoying a resurgence in popularity, partly thanks to collaborations with younger artists and a new audience discovering their classic tunes. The 1996 concert captures the essence of this revival, reflecting both nostalgic hits and the band's evolving style during a musical era rich with diversity.
