Carlos Santana was born in 1947 in a small village in Mexico. Over the years he became one of the legends of rock and roll music. In this book you will read about his passion for music, about how he swapped the violin for the guitar, about his move from Mexico to the USA and about the great breakthrough he had with his band at the 1969 Woodstock festival in New York.
On the basis of quotes from Santana, which open every chapter both in Spanish and in English, the story of his life is told. The ups and downs he encountered and the passion, tenacity and good luck that made him succeed.
For those who would like to enjoy some of Santana's music whilst reading, here is a link to a video of his performance with his band at Woodstock in 1969: Santana Soul Sacrifice Woodstock. The song 'Soul Sacrifice' that they play here also features in the book.
