Santana

In July 2004, Santana delivered a mesmerizing performance at the Auditorium Stravinski in Montreux, featuring the soulful "Why Can't We Live Together" with legendary guest vocalist Steve Winwood. This live recording is part of the album "Hymns for Peace: Live at Montreux 2004," which encapsulates the band's enduring message of unity and harmony. Just before this concert, Santana had found renewed commercial success with his 1999 album "Supernatural," which introduced a whole new generation to his music. Interestingly, by 2004, Santana had already been a prominent figure in music for over three decades, making his fusion of rock, blues, and Latin rhythms feel timeless yet fresh. The performance is a testament to his ability to engage audiences with both electrifying guitar solos and poignant lyrical themes, making every note resonate with a call for peace.
