Carlos Santana Kennedy Center Honors 2013 Complete [Full Clip]

[@onewoman4274]

When Harry Belafonte introduces you.......you know you are THE MAN! Saw him at LAX Airport in 2004. Didn't want to bother him so I put my hands together in praying hands and bowed slightly without saying anything to me. He smiled and beckoned me over. I didn't ask for an autograph or say a word. He waved me over to him and gave me a hug and wished me "travelling mercies" and he disappeared into a black Yukon. That memory is way better than his signature. Brava Senor Santana. Listening to your music is like taking a trip through the UNIVERSE!

​@@maryrosekent8223 Turlock California in the summer of 1968 at the War Memorial. Santana was a relatively new band, few in my small town had heard of the band, so there may have been 15 people there. I thought they would pack it up and go home but they stayed. It was like my friend and I had been blessed with a private concert. Never felt so much love, joy, deeply spiritual rythmic messages. My heart was opened and Santana's love entered my soul and has stayed with me all of these years. Love Carlos so much, thank you God for leading me to him. A major blessing in my life. Now I have the pleasure of hearing other bands in open air concerts, in another small town in Cali, that have been guided and tutored by Carlos.

I finally got to see the Legendary Carlos Santana in concert in Atlanta, after being transformed in my youth decades ago, through video of his 1969 Woodstock performance. When I heard drum machines and computer-generated beats taking over the airwaves & industry, I couldn't help but protest, "That's not percussion!" "If you want to hear percussion, go listen to Santana!" (Still true to this day. His rhythms captivates the heart.)

Santana was my first concert-it was 1967 and it was held at the Santa Clara County Fairgrounds in San Jose. I was 11 and so thrilled!

Carlos was so happy and humbled to see my dad and they talked for a long time backstage. My dad always was proud of him and his sucess! When I was little and Carlos would be on TV my dad would say, Ay Carlos! You got your way and you proved us all wrong but put down the marijuana lol because, Carlos always fought with his dad that he didn’t want to play the violin! He was destined to be something bigger!

Wow Sheila E rocks! Also great Tom Morello as usual, and fantastic Juanes on vocals and guitar too. Great tribute to Carlos.

[@gilbertdutu4776]

Carlos Santana is a genius. I first heard of him when he came to my country Ghana in March 1971 for the Soul to Soul festival with Wilson Pickett, Roberta Flack and others. I've loved his music ever since.

[@donnawoodford6641]

I saw Santana in an outdoor concert in Mesa, Az. What a soulful jamming experience. ❤️ A man living in a world without border constructs....as it should be. His contribution to humanity goes beyond music.

Carlos is an absolute manicurist on guitar strings and holds his place among the best of them..A legend in his own right..After all these years, I still hold his music as very special indeed!

My father had me listening to him since I can remember and I was born in 77. I'm sure I seen him once and seen him about 10 years ago in tinley park when he got engaged to his current wife that night. Hoping to see him next month after 2 years of rescheduling!

Damn this was beautiful. The guitar work by Rage’s Tom Morello was a perfect tribute to Carlos. And if you ever wonder what truly “great” things have come from America, go listen to Muddy Waters, Lightning Hopkins, Robert Johnson or John Lee Hooker (his collab with Santana on his epic “The Healer” album was magnificent) and you’ll have at least one answer - the Blues. Thanks to the Kennedy Center and the classy, respectful and cool couple sitting to Carlos’ left for helping honor a true legend of music like Señor Santana.

I was there at Wood Stock in 1969 and got to see the birth of a king a master of his craft that's Carlos Santana the one and only his performance on stage so many decades ago left us without a doubt to the thousand's of us that showed up with nothing more than a promise that we would hear good music that it was the best that we could have only hoped for, but I am here today that we got so much more because everyone could see the talent he had and everyone said watch and see this guy is going to be famous and we knew a new guitar King had just been born it was Carlos turn too become a Super Star and he did !
