Santana Performs 'Corazón Espinado' Live at Montreux Jazz Festival 2011

Date: July 1, 2011

In July 2011, during Santana's performance at the Montreux Jazz Festival, the band was touring in support of their album "Shape Shifter," which was released later that same year. "Shape Shifter" marked a return to form for Santana, melding rock, Latin, and jazz influences, and the live setting at Montreux provided a vibrant atmosphere for the artist to showcase both new material and classic hits. The Montreux Jazz Festival is known for its significant historical impact on music, and Santana's participation added to their legacy. Interestingly, Carlos Santana is renowned not only for his guitar prowess but also for his spiritual and humanitarian engagement, something that often resonates through his music and performances, including the emotional depth of "Corazón Espinado." This performance resurfaced his distinct sound and cemented his status in the contemporary music scene while drawing from his rich musical history.
