Ultimate Santana – SantanaView More By Santana Our ReviewSince his days as a Woodstock icon, Carlos Santana has applied his guitar signature to almost every genre of pop music, remaining both distinctive and adaptable. Ultimate Santana may not be the end-all survey of his work, but it does attest to how well his Latin-jazz-blues fusion approach has absorbed contemporary trends without losing its essence. Santana is the master of the stinging single note and the long caressing riff and through these tracks, you can hear him channel his talents into everything from steamy salsa-rock (1970’s classic “Oye Como Va”) to introspective jazz (1976’s “Europa (Earth’s Cry, Heaven’s Smile”) ) to honeyed R&B-pop (the previously-unreleased “Interplanetary Party”). “Smooth” (spiced up by Rob Thomas’ East L.A.-style vocals) and “Put Your Lights On” (an evocative semi-acoustic track featuring Everlast) attest to the guitarist’s enduring vitality. Of the newly-recorded cuts, the winners are “This Boy’s Fire” (a fusion of Latin hip-hop beats, dancing guitar lines and the enticing voice of Jennifer Lopez) and a torrid reworking of “The Game of Love” with Tina Turner singing lead. Even if this collection isn’t perfection, it makes the case for Santana’s continued resilience and relevance after nearly 40 years of album-making.. Customer ReviewsGreat Album!!!

All of these songs are incredible, but mostly because they come with Santana's signiture guitar. Santana is the greatest guitar player around, and will always be remembered as great when he retires. Though many have not experienced his greatness, true music fans will always have a place in their heart for Carlos Santana. An Amazing Collection! (5 stars) This is one of my favs because it has everything you need from Santana. BiographyFormed: 1966 in San Francisco, CAGenre: Rock Years Active: '60s, '70s, '80s, '90s, '00s, '10s Santana is the primary exponent of Latin-tinged rock, particularly due to its combination of Latin percussion (congas, timbales, etc.) with bandleader Carlos Santana's distinctive, high-pitched lead guitar playing. The group was the last major act to emerge from the psychedelic San Francisco music scene of the 1960s and it enjoyed massive success at the end of the decade and into the early '70s. The musical direction then changed to a more contemplative and jazzy style as the band's early personnel...
