American latin-rock group, formed in the late 1960s, led by guitarist Carlos Santana. They gained popularity after their iconic performance at Woodstock Festival in 1969. Their self-titled debut album, along with "Abraxas" and "Santana III," all released under Columbia Records, became huge hits.

With the release of "Caravanserai" in 1972, Santana embarked on a new musical journey towards a more experimental and jazz-oriented sound. Albums like "Welcome," "Borboletta," and the triple live album "Lotus" showcased their artistic evolution during this period.

Throughout the years, Santana underwent lineup changes and experimented with different musical styles while maintaining their Latin influence. In 1998, they achieved immense success with their album "Supernatural," winning eight Grammy Awards and three Latin Grammy Awards, including the No.1 hit single "Smooth."

On Blessings and Miracles, music legend and guitar master Carlos Santana delivers one of the most ambitious, inspired and flat-out magical records of his storied career. There’s thrilling feats of bravura musicianship that pair the guitar master with fellow icons like Chick Corea and Steve Winwood, knockout rockers with Metallica’s Kirk Hammett and Living Colour’s Corey Glover, and genre-bending, hook-filled celebrations featuring Rob Thomas, Chris Stapleton, G-Eazy, American Authors and Ally Brooke, among others.

The album’s first single, “Move,” is the long-awaited reteaming of Santana and Matchbox 20 vocalist Rob Thomas, and it’s a sensation. Thomas is dynamic and magnetic, and he’s ably backed by the punchy vocal talents of American Authors (especially the band’s Zac Barnett, who takes the lead spot in the second verse). Santana matches these supreme performances as only he can, with scintillating solos that explode with tectonic force. On the second single, “She’s Fire,” a hypnotically soulful ballad that works its way into your body chemistry, Santana wraps his exquisite guitar melodies in and around an enticing narrative spun by the rapper G-Eazy – collaboration as conversation, and truly riveting. Santana partnered with country titan Chris Stapleton on “Joy,” a soul-enriching marvel that blends country, reggae, blues and gospel with a widescreen sing-along chorus. And on “America for Sale,” a gnashing, metal-blues bruiser, the guitarist is joined by Death Angel singer Marc Osegueda and Metallica axeman Kirk Hammett. 

Anybody expecting hair-raising guitar voodoo won’t be disappointed. Santana immersed himself in the creation of Blessings and Miracles over a two-year period, serving as producer and collaborating with record makers and writers such as Diane Warren, Narada Michael Walden, Chris Stapleton, Peter Stengaard and Gregg Wattenberg. It’s an album full of revelations and epiphanies – through songs guaranteed to light up both radio playlists and concert stages.
