Santana's No. 1 1970 album Abraxas, a fiery blend of Latin rhythms and psychedelic rock: "Oye Como Va," "Black Magic Woman / Gypsy Queen" and "Samba Pa Ti."
Abraxas was Santana's first album to top the Billboard 200, and Carlos Santana's singing, sustaining guitar over a churning Latin percussion section still thrills.
The band's second album fuses rock, blues, jazz and salsa, with Gregg Rolie's Hammond organ and the percussion of José Areas and Mike Carabello driving long, hypnotic grooves.
Their version of Tito Puente's "Oye Como Va" is irresistible, "Black Magic Woman / Gypsy Queen" smoulders, "Samba Pa Ti" is one of the most beautiful guitar instrumentals ever, and "Incident at Neshabur" is a dazzling jam.
Santana's first No. 1 album. Carlos's guitar still sounds like it's singing.
