First time hearing Santana - Smooth Stereo ft Rob Thomas reaction | Rere reacts

[@ghostlee6434]

San.. tan..na not San...tara.😂😂

[@RNDReacts]

Oh 😂😂 thank you

[@Howie-du7ov]

Carlos Santana has the most recognizable guitar sound and style ever. So clean and so pure!

[@GinMae]

Yep, Howie.. like Stevie Wonder's harmonica... and just a very few other guitarists.. SRV, Brian May of Queen, and of course, Jimi Hendrix...

[@albertsmith9315]

Santana played at Woodstock in '69, so yeah, he's not a youngster these days... but he still kicks butt.

[@Royal_BLT]

🇨🇦 Santana's first album came out in 1969 ! 🇨🇦

[@666headspin]

Yep! Soul Sacrifice, even more Remarkable is they're all under the influence of LSD, and Carlos tells the story of how that happened, needless to say the Grateful Dead were involved, SALTS

[@MrEastern021]

....AND... the drummer was only 17 then.

[@kperry1969]

Look for the "soul sacrifice" clip from Woodstock 1969. Santana emerges for the world 🎸

[@drp2546]

@@MrEastern021 Yeah! And I was right up front and HE PLAYED THE SHIT OUT OF THOSE DRUMS!!

[@johnlong9534]

This song won the Grammy Award for Record of the Year, Song of the Year, and Best Pop Collaboration with Vocals. That's what we call a triple play.

[@RichardSchaefer-zx9ig]

That's Carlos Santana, founder + guitarist from the band Santana. Vocalist is Rob Thomas, formerly of Matchbox 20. Santana made a big splash performing @ Woodstock in 1969. Many great songs from Santana

[@aLittleBitter.]

Correction: Rob Thomas is still with Matchbox Twenty.

[@meadmaker4525]

"Maria Maria" and "Into the Night" are a couple more excellent Santana collaborations.

[@ssvr3dl1n38]

This song always gave me Havana, Cuba vibes. Love Rob Thomas, his concert at Red Rocks is brilliant.

[@DianeLake-sw3ym]

Another one of my very favorites. I can listen to this one several times in a row and still want more. I just love everything about it. The singer, Rob Thomas, wife was in this. She was the lady in the window and then dancing with the blue top on.

[@mr.anderson3369]

This track brought me here. Nice to meet you! This album would probably be in my top 10 albums. I always come back to this album. 🎸🔥 🥁 🪘

[@thefalloutshelter7799]

This was a collaboration of Carlos Santana (one of the greatest guitar players) and Rob Thomas who is the singer for the band Matchbox Twenty

[@MarcVanLaere-zr5im]

70's Santana is still my favourite. ❤👍

[@Goomberdups]

one of the most legendary and greatest guitarists to ever play

[@mikeconway9849]

Another of my favorites! You're on a streak, Rere from where I sit! As others have said, he started in the late 60s with Woodstock. He had lots of amazing music for many years. He had a resurgence of popularity in the 90s and 2000s. This song is from the 2nd time frame.

[@tracyborden1468]

You nailed it. Carlos Santana is from Mexico. He has major Latin jazz influences. Living legend.

[@k1hasard]

Carlos Santana also did a song with Michelle Branch called "Game Of Love" which is a good song. Santana is a band and also the lead guitarist's last name. I think you will really enjoy "Black Magic Woman", "Samba Pa Ti" and the studio version of "Incident at Neshabur". He's Mexican, so you are right about the Latin feel. He was born in 1947, so he's been around.

[@DavidSingerSongwtr]

This song won song of the year at the Grammy’s. Rob Thomas is from Matchbox Twenty and Carlos Santana the guitarist is a guitar legend.

[@GaryNoone-jz3mq]

Carlos Santana is a Mexican American from California. His band bears his name and he himself is possibly the greatest guitarist of all time. 😊

I grew up with music as I'm 60 and luv to see a new generation enjoy the best music ever from the 70's,80's,90's.Enjoy the ride.

[@DianeLake-sw3ym]

We were spoiled. We had such great music. Now they have plastic music done with auto tune and studio tricks and computerized instruments. Nothing is real. the writing is not real. the singing is not. I think that is why reaction videos are so popular. The younger generations are looking for reality and real music. Not fake.

[@michaelhillmann3460]

The Guitarist is Carlos Santana he made this album with guest vocals for every song the vocalist is Rob Thomas from Machbox 20. The girl in the window is Rob’s wife. Carlos had hits in the 60’s and still tours today.

[@pauljohnstone180]

Carlos Santana is the guitar player. Listen to his song, "Soul Sacrifice" from Woodstock, 1969. He is Mexican and he fused Rock with Latin rhythms. He was about 20 years old in the Woodstock performance. BTW, I love your reactions. ☺✌, PJ

[@SteveBurkitt-rg4nj]

Absolutely a great song and I play on the jukebox anytime I'm at a pub

[@cliffordlowerre1381]

You should check out the live version of this with Rob Thomas. Pure fire! Awesome musicians, awesome stage, awesome jamming crowd!

[@Neotron2001]

Carlos Santana is definitely a vibe. An experience.

[@markconners6195]

Love Santana’s guitar sound so distinctive. Great groove

[@brianmitchell1049]

"Supernatural": one of the finest albums ever recorded. We could listen to Carlos Santana every single day.

[@PhilH919]

Thanks for doing this one. Love this, especially with the addition of Rob Thomas. He fits in so well with Santana.

[@michaelwalker5257]

Carlos (from Mexico) stole the show at Woodstock. That was 1969, and he was about 21 years old. This one is around 2000! And now we've gone another 25 years.

Santana is from Autlán, Jalisco México, 100% mexican rock Star

This is everybody's favorite song!

[@hans-georgschroter7887]

I have still his first album from 1969. He is one of the most remarkable artists born at Woodstock and saw him life in Germany many years later with his Latin sound ❤🎉

[@tommythompson9565]

What a song. Iconic, along with the video.

[@PUNKinDRUBLIC72]

I was always into "alternative" music and not into Santana,but when this song came out everyone was grooving with cocktails!

[@granadosvm]

I can recognize Santana's guitar in any song, especially with that piano in the background. I became a fan of his in the 1970s, some people might thing hi looks older, I think in terms of the longevity of his career as most impressive.

[@grandwazoodebris1015]

Carlos Santana's been around forever, master of Latin blues-rock guitar, mixes in some jazz and pop and whatever he wants. Abraxas was huge break thru album way back in 1970ish. Black Magic Woman and Oyo Como Va were both hits from it, and Samba Pa Ti is another classic from it that any Santana fan knows and loves. Try those out, you'll probably love them, then do the whole album (and Santana III next)

[@wandering_penguino]

Santana, the guitarist, is from Mexico. Rob Thomas, the singer, is from the US, but he met his wife on this MV!

[@machtshnel]

Carlos Santana has been playing great music sinc ethe late 60s his guitar style is so distinct. He makes the guitart make love to your ears it just grabs your soul. Carlos is from San francisco bay area. he plays a latin version of rock

[@001rnv]

Carlos Santana is the main guitar player in the video, Rob Thomas is the one singing. It was a MASSIVE hit back in the day. Great collaboration from two great artists.

[@buddystewart2020]

That effect on his voice in the verses is generally referred to as 'Lo-Fi' by engineers and producers, verses Hi-Fi. They intentionally go for a low tech sound which has a nostalgic? quality to it. It sounds like older tech.

[@mikefetterman6782]

This song won a grammy for best song of the year 20 some years ago

[@mikefetterman6782]

Rob Thomas met his wife to be on the set of making the video. She is one of the dancers.

[@kperry1969]

At this point, this is one of the most popular songs ever to be released. This whole album was a monster back in 1999, 2000 and onward. The whole thing rips. I saw Santana jam with Jerry Garcia & the Grateful Dead twice in 1991 😊 Thanks for the reaction

[@billc.5861]

Saw Santana last year in the San Francisco area He can still shred ** on a random side note I have a friend who’s a sensational basis & she was in studio with Santana and did a gig with him a few months back. She said he’s very nice and quite talented.

[@stevetanner3019]

This song was # 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 for 12 weeks, to end the last millennium and start the current one.

The singer is Rob Thomas and he wrote this song about his wife who is the woman in the car and at. the window and running down the hall.

Carlos was born in Jalisco Mexico and came to Los Angeles when he was 19 years old. He always has that Latin percussion that is the foundation of all his music. Plus, he is a one-of-a-kind guitarist.

[@mikebourgeois1011]

That's from a Santana compilation album with other artists, called Supernatural. Every song is good.

[@russellkeeling4387]

I think you would like to hear more of Carlos Santana.

[@DerekGHdz]

I am Hispanic and I will explain it to you: Santana was born in the U.S. but it has Mexican roots. The song uses instruments such as the Conga, Timbales, Cencerro and the Güiro, they are instruments that are used to make Salsa (Latin Genre) but specifically it is Cuban. It is a Salsa mixed with Latin Rock but sung in English. As for Santana's guitar playing, the core of his sound comes from Latin Blues, since while American Blues tends to be more aggressive and loud when played, Latin Blues is more fluid, more refreshing, more exciting, the climate in Latin America has a lot, Let's see since it is more Sun, Beach, Summer (Good weather) and that greatly influences the musical genres. You can play other of their songs like Black Magic Woman or Soul Sacrifice, as well as songs in Spanish like Oye Como Va, Samba Pa Ti or Corazón Espinado.

[@davesheppeck696]

Santana didn't have a hit song for so long that the record co. didn't think radio stations would play this. So they sent it out with a plain white jacket labeled mystery artist. Although some disc jockeys recognized Carlos' guitar sound they played it.

[@GrouchyGrandpaw]

The guy singing was Rob Thomas, Carlos Santana was playing the guitar.

This was a monster hit when it came out. It still sounds amazing.

[@scottpatton9112]

Mexican kind of Santana stuck over the border of 15 and he started playing with people like the Grateful Dead but yet behind the amplifiers he did not like to be seen. He’s only 15 that’s gotta start now he’s a legend.

[@rorybisson756]

just another day in the Burroughs of NYC lol. things like this used to happen often back in the day, the neighborhood would close down the street and have a block party similar to this. shame we cant have nice things anymore.

When this first aired on the radio, I knew it was Rob because of his vocals but I could definitely tell it was NOT Matchbox 20 doing the music. I didn't know that part until a little bit later. Santana was a musician from the late 60's, and he was at Woodstock back then. He was well known already when this came out

[@kevinmarshall854]

Rob Thomas's band "Matchbox 20" has some great songs.

[@RadioJammor]

Yeah, you called it pretty accurately. Carlos Santana is Mexican or American/Mexican (not sure of nationality, pretty sure he was from Mexico) and his latin guitar vibes are pretty legendary and have been since Woodstock. This was an unexpected collaboration with Rob Thomas, who I don't know much about, except he's done other collaborations and is/was lead singer with an American band called Matchbox Twenty - but this combo worked a treat and it was a pretty big hit in '99. If you want more Santana, "Black Magic Woman" is a must (Abraxas is quite an album), his cover of the Zombies song, "She's Not There" is good (or you could listen to The Zombies' original version), or you could go for the collab with Michelle Branch, "The Game of Love", which was 2002 I think. If you're listening to 90s music, have you listened to any Alanis Morissette yet? Her Jagged Little Pill album is arguably the best 90s album by anyone! "You Oughta Know" is what we heard first, and you should hear first, as it will blow you away on its own and set you up for the rest. It was followed by "Hand In My Pocket" and "Ironic" and a few others, or you could follow with an album track like "Forgiven" or "Not The Doctor."

Songs of my young adulthood. Notice there aren't any cubbies? We were slim and trim. Spanish/ Mex/Cuban barrio tunes. My current profile picture also bears little in common with my 1970 photo.
