Venue: Auditorium Stravinski Location: Montreux, Vaud, Switzerland Date: July 14, 2016

In the vibrant landscape of Santana's career, the live performance recorded at the Montreux Jazz Festival on July 14, 2016, marked an exciting period. Just prior to this standout show, Santana had released the album 'Santana IV' in 2016, which proudly reunited the classic lineup that had created their legendary sound in the early years. This album was highly anticipated, setting the stage for this electrifying live performance. At Montreux, the band not only delivered their iconic fusion of rock and Latin music but also showcased the energy and musicianship that continues to define Santana's legacy. The performance features the hit 'Smooth,' a collaboration with Rob Thomas that brought the band back into the spotlight in the late '90s, proving that Santana's magnetic appeal transcends generations and genres.
