About
Delivered with a level of passion and soul equal to the legendary sonic charge of his guitar, the sound of Carlos Santana is one of the world's best-known musical signatures. For more than four decades - from Santana's earliest days as a groundbreaking Afro-Latin-blues-rock fusion outfit in San Francisco - Carlos has been the visionary force behind artistry that transcends musical genres, generational, cultural and geographical boundaries.
Long before the category now known as "world music" was named, Santana's ever-evolving sound has always been ahead of its time in its universal appeal, and today registers as ideally in sync with the 21st century's pan-cultural landscape. And, with a dedication to humanitarian outreach and social activism that parallels his lifelong relationship with music, Carlos Santana is as much an exemplary world citizen as a global music icon.
Carlos Santana's current project is Supernatural Santana: A Trip Through The Hits, a musical retrospective created exclusively for the new Joint at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas. Santana will be the first act to hold a residency at the spectacular, newly-expanded venue, and the band will perform 72 times at the Joint over the course of 2009 and 2010. The show, produced by AEG live and debuting in May '09, includes Santana numbers ranging from "Jingo"—the group's first-ever charting single—and early classics including "Black Magic Woman" and "Oye Como Va" through the Supernatural "Smooth" years and the group's most recent hit, 2008's "Into the Night."
Carlos' influence and idealism is also felt in the groundbreaking new project Architects of a New Dawn, a multi-platform media enterprise and social network designed to empower like-minded people from all walks of life to create positive change in the global community. The project grew out of a vision Carlos has been developing for almost 20 years to engage his worldwide audience with extraordinary music, progressive media content and transformational ideas. It is all in the service of building—architecting—a new reality for the planet based on inspiration, creativity, love and forgiveness.
Santana's star arrived in the era-defining late '60s San Francisco Bay area music scene with historic shows at the Fillmore and other venues. They emerged onto the global stage with an epic set at Woodstock '69, the same year that their self-titled debut LP came out. Introducing Santana's first Top 10 hit, "Evil Ways," the disc stayed on Billboard's album chart for 2 years, and was soon followed by two more classics - and Billboard #1 albums - Abraxas and Santana III.
Forty years and as many albums later, Santana has sold more than 90 million records and reached over 100 million fans at concerts around the globe. To date, Santana has won ten GRAMMY® Awards and two Latin GRAMMYs. Among them are a bevy for 1999's Supernatural—which has sold more than 26 million copies worldwide—including GRAMMYs for Album of the Year and Record of the Year for "Smooth." In 1998, the group was ushered into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, whose web page on their induction notes, "Guitarist Carlos Santana is one of rock's true virtuosos and guiding lights." Among many other honors, Carlos Santana has also been cited by Rolling Stone as #15 on their list of the "100 Greatest Guitarists Of All Time," and #90 on their 2005 survey of the "100 Greatest Artists Of All Time."
Most recently, Carlos Santana is the recipient of the Billboard Latin Music Awards' 2009 Lifetime Achievement honor (he also received Billboard's Century Award in 1996), and the music of Santana has been celebrated with two album retrospectives. Multi-Dimensional Warrior (Columbia/Arista/Legacy, 2008) is a career-spanning 2-CD anthology presenting 28 selections hand-picked by Carlos, who calls the project, "a love letter to the fans." Divided between tracks with vocals and instrumental compositions, it emphasizes album cuts and personal favorites that evoke the band's hypnotic musical power and give deeper insight into its complex creative journey. The set follows up 2007's Ultimate Santana, the only single-disc collection uniting hits from the group's recent albums for Arista and classics from their Columbia years.
As profound as his artistic legacy is Carlos' dedication to humanitarian work. His Milagro Foundation, originally established by Carlos and Deborah Santana in 1998, has granted more than three million dollars to non-profit programs supporting underserved children and youth in the areas of arts, education and health. Milagro means "miracle," and the image of children as divine miracles of light and hope - as gifts to our lives - is the inspiration behind its name.

Rating: 5 out of 5 Santana was amazing!
by Verst on 5/2/11The Joint at Hard Rock Hotel Las Vegas - Las VegasMy fiancé and I both thoroughly enjoyed ourselves throughout the entire show we wanted to hear more of his solo songs but the songs they did play sounded better than anything we could have imagined. The lighting was great he looked great I think the service should be more classy and not so revealing but being so close to the stage with Santana there was awesome. I recommend getting a seat in the front so worth the photos.

Boy was I really let down. i really didn"t go there to hear carlos"s wife do a drum solo. I went to hear the real thing
Rating: 4 out of 5 Fun Times
by Santanafan2 on 5/2/11The Joint at Hard Rock Hotel Las Vegas - Las VegasOverall I think it was a great show. I am not sure why he started with an AC/DC song, not needed when you have all those amazing hits under your belt. But, Santana then went hit after hit for some time. It was fun to see his wife play, but the solo was much too long....two times?!? I am a drummer and even I got a little bored. Dennis Chambers was a treat to see though. So, overall, I wish that he had stuck to the hits or his songs without covers. When they played the originals(in my opinion they all are hits), it was amazing and the crowd was energized. Santana definitely can still play it!

by Vlmorgan on 5/2/11The Joint at Hard Rock Hotel Las Vegas - Las VegasWhat an incredible, most awesome concert ever!!! Santana was everything we expected and more!
Rating: 3 out of 5by BadToad on 5/2/11The Joint at Hard Rock Hotel Las Vegas - Las Vegas Don't get me wrong... It was a good show. It just lacked the energy that I thought a Santana show should have. Maybe because he was coming to the end of the run at the Hard Rock... but it was a little lack-luster. I personally could have done without the two different drum solos. A Carlos Santana Guitar solo, just wailing, would have helped!
Rating: 2 out of 5 Poor Acoustics
by quasar9b on 5/2/11The Joint at Hard Rock Hotel Las Vegas - Las VegasThe show had the potential to be a once in a lifetime experience. However, the acoustics were very poor. It is very uncomfortable to feel your chest and your clothing vibrate when ever the drummer hits the drums. Furthermore, we could barely hear the songs, over the instrumental sounds.
Rating: 5 out of 5 Santana can still make a guitar sing
by DrKDO on 5/2/11The Joint at Hard Rock Hotel Las Vegas - Las VegasI was worried that in waiting this long to hear Santana live Carlos may have lost a little of his magic. I quickly learned my worries were unfounded. He is a master of the guitar and it still shows. I loved seeing him at the Joint at Hard Rock in Vegas. At 4000 seats it has great views of the stage, first class lighting and sound, and being a long running show the staging was more elaborate than you would get with a tour stage.

Rating: 5 out of 5 Unbelievable one of the best shows every!!!!
by fanfromOC on 5/2/11The Joint at Hard Rock Hotel Las Vegas - Las VegasThis was my 4th time seeing Santana at the Joint. Every time it gets better and better. I was so blown away by his energy and his love for for putting on a great performance and his love for women. I hope he plans on coming back so I can see it again and again.
Rating: 5 out of 5 Santana-Awesome!
by shufflepuck on 5/2/11The Joint at Hard Rock Hotel Las Vegas - Las VegasJust a fantastic show. Santana was great, music and stage were great. "Intermission" was his wife's drum solo. Never a dull moment, and I couldn't believe how long and often he was on stage. Easily one of the best concerts I've ever been to. Venue was excellent.
Rating: 2 out of 5 Disappointed-Flew all the way from Hawaii!
by jbfoot on 5/2/11The Joint at Hard Rock Hotel Las Vegas - Las VegasWhen one goes to a concert of a legend that has hundreds of his own hits, one doesn't expect to hear songs of other bands! Santana opened up with the AC/DC song Black is Back! He also played other bands songs and didn't play enough of his great hits!!!!!! There were also 2 drum solos and guitar solos that took up so much of the time he could have pleased those who flew from 5,000 miles away to see and hear him! I've flown to see many concerts and this was the most disappointing.

by Vamprazhouse13 on 5/2/11The Joint at Hard Rock Hotel Las Vegas - Las VegasNo one should ever pass up an opportunity to see the wonderful, brilliantly talented Santana! We made a special trip to Vegas just to see him! So Worth it! If he gave lessons, I'd consider selling a limb for them, LOL Seriously though, one of the best concerts. EVER!
Rating: 3 out of 5 Santana Supernatural
by GuitarManiacMan on 5/1/11The Joint at Hard Rock Hotel Las Vegas - Las VegasVery dissapointed in the song selection. This was supposed to be a "Trip through the Hits". No "Europa", no "Winning", no "Hold On"...I could go on. Too much wasted time on a Rap version of Back in Black (which SUCKED - as all rap does) and 2 long drum solos. When he actually played his hits, it was excellent, but not nearly enough of them. Unfortunately, a VERY dissapointing show and I would not go again.
