Santana Samba Pa Ti Reaction

[@jbrlvegasram9815]

My favorite Santana song. Didn't need words because he spoke his heart through his guitar.

@@MD17345_ Great version. thanks!

[@wilfbentley6738]

This is my favourite version. Carlos didn't have all that high-tech crap when he recorded this. It's all him and his guitar, plus his drummers, his keyboardist(s).

[@wilfbentley6738]

My fave Santana song too. Has been for 50 yrs.

[@sueprator9314]

So much of his work to love. After his first 3 albums of Latin rock his music started reflecting his spiritual awakening. This song is beautiful. His most exquisite songs are instrumentals like Song of the Wind, Europa, albums: Caravansari, Welcome, Barboletta, Blues for Salvador, Aquamarine

[@231crooked]

Beautiful...sit back and enjoy. This song can bring me to tears, it was my sisters favorite and we had a guitarist play it at her funeral...I miss her.

[@paulinemorgan2939]

Wow - that must have been tough. Sorry for your loss. God bless.

[@stevoschannel4127]

Probably the most beautiful thing ever done by a man and an electric guitar.

[@ricardojunco4718]

MRM You cannot go wrong listening to Santana🎸 from his first record to his newest record... I been listening to his music since I was a kid and now that I am almost 65 yrs young 😎 I still love cranking up Santana's music driving down the road .

[@wilfbentley6738]

Abraxas is on the CD deck in my car and plays over and over while I drive. I wouldn't have it any other way.

[@RevanJJ]

One of the most tranquil, beautiful, amazing songs ever made. Santana is a true master.

[@vandalnonesuch8274]

Revan, come back to the light side and listen to Santana Song of the Wind, from Caravanserai. You can feel the force move you!!!

[@georgiegirl6815]

Santana just told us a love story. That was a wonderful change.

[@sueprator9314]

Change? Oh people connect him commercially with his first 3 albums but his best works are awesome transcendental instrumentals....

[@migizi52]

Santana is the greatest. Lov.e his music especially his instrumentals

[@AD4MRick]

What a beautiful song. Abraxas is one of the greatest albums ever made. Samba Pa Ti to me is Latin, South American, Soulfull, just wonderful. The organ sound you are talking about I believe, is coming from the Leslie speaker. It's a large speaker with spinning speaker cones on the inside. The player has a switch beside the keyboard, he flips the switch, those speakers go to spinning and creates that wonderful sound. A band I was in had one and it reminded me of a piece of furniture. Ours was about four feet tall, three feet on the sides and made of wood.. It created a great effect if not over used. You can still purchase them, they are around 3500 to 4000 dollars.

[@JohnDoe-zs3lm]

AD4MRick the organ player is as bad ass as Santana!

[@wilfbentley6738]

I think Santana is Mexican.

[@michaelbastraw1493]

You can get a Leslie for a lot less if you're not picky on condition. Best. Leo.

[@bluetopguitar1104]

you can hear the emotion in his guitar. No vocals but you still get the feel.

[@lauracosby7382]

Debi, great pick! Anything Santana is awesome!!

[@MariaRocha-jk5qd]

Something about this song makes me cry Everytime I hear it love it

[@jimmayors2315]

That organ was a Hammond (B3) played by Gregg Rolie, who went on with fellow Santana bandmate Neal Schon to form Journey

[@JohnDoe-zs3lm]

jim mayors true fact! Gregg is as Bad ass as Santana!

[@sweetpepper959]

This is my number one favorite instrumental song. I first started listening to Santana when I was around 13 years old. This song in particular just speaks to me. Carlos Santana was probably the first guitarist to really catch my attention. In fact, it was Soul Sacrifice from the Woodstock album that drew me in. Carlos has proven to be one of the great music masters, mentors, and humanitarians, over all these decades....and he designs ladies stiletto heels...go figure! I would have chosen a live version, but I wanted you experience the song the same way I did, by listening to it on the Abraxas album.

[@RandomPau]

Same exact thing drew me to buying this album, ( Abraxas ). Hearing Soul Sacrifice from the Woodstock album and then seeing them in the movie later. One of my all-time favorite albums!

[@ibwilliamsi]

From my childhood. It makes my spirit want to fly.

[@mr.h.36]

this one gets in my feels! many memories good and sad.

[@avanoosterhout8397]

When I was 15 years old, an uncle of mine sat me down to listen to the Moonflower album by Santana that had just been released. It still is the album that I have been come back to over and over and over again through the years. I also led me to other great albums by Santana. And Samba Pa Ti is one of the best songs he made, even if it isn't on the Moonflower album. In the summer of 2003 I visited Italy and made a walk along the "Cinque Terre" in the morning. In one of the beautiful small villages along the coast I waited for the train to arrive to bring me back to the place I stayed. The village, built on a hillside overlooking the Mediterranean Sea, was close to complete silent around that time (siësta) when suddenly, from an open window, the sounds of this song rolled over the village. It were a few magic minutes. I just sat there, with about four other people on the platform. The world seemed to come to a full stop. And me floating away on the brilliant guitar play of Carlos Santana. I love music, have been to many concerts and have had great moments there. But as far as music goes, I never ever had another experience even close to that time in Italy. Just had to share.

[@cathyk9302]

Finally my favorite by Santana - the best, classic - his guitar sings like very few and this one is all love and longing; in my mind. This always makes me listen to Suavecito by Malo. This was part of my life, 70's San Francisco, just hanging in the neighborhood and yes, we would dance.

[@ishpadful]

Do you remember Tower if Power? Saw them play, with Santana, same stage, together, in Fresno, in 1970-71. Was awesome!

[@d.sepulveda7669]

YES! “You’re Still a Young Man!” If you’ve heard that song, you’ll never forget it. T of P back in the day when music was soulful and touched your heart, soul and made you groove!

[@anthonyrodriguez625]

Funny that you mention MALO, the leader of that band is Carlos Santana's brother. Jorge Santana

[@cathyk9302]

@@anthonyrodriguez625 this we knew. They were talented, hated that they didn’t go further.

[@marinamartinez6886]

Play Sparkling in the Sand by Tower of Power!

[@davidleland8729]

Great jam! Heard this when I was stationed at Ft. Ord in California back in the 70's.

[@tiaelina1090]

Its so nice to sometimes listen to an instrumental piece and Santana always delivers. My favourite is his collaboration with Rob Thomas. This piece will definitely be added to my relaxation playlist, great pick👍

[@bettyarcuri9959]

New Orleans This is my favorite ! I listen to it everyday. Reminiscing dancing in Latin lounge in a romantic atmosphere . Sure miss it. Santana is The Best!

[@mstewart109]

Sweet!! Love Carlos Santana.and his band. . Great music when first out.70s. Still great years later...you might want to explore more santana. Pretty mellow stuff but good beat. The lead of this group.was born and raised in Tijuana , Mexico. Very poor city..He is proud of his roots. Chill guy...with ponytail still...very genuine guy.

[@marcoderobertis4557]

First time i heard this song by Santana, it was in a discoteque in Chile, called '' Topsy Topsy'' in Renaca/Vina del Mar with friends. I fell in love immediately, and also I like to say that these memories will forever stay with me.

[@lynnwest2882]

Love this song. Heard it first while I attended the University of Colorado in Boulder. I think the year was 1971. I am now 73 in 2022 and still love it.

[@rusthand7110]

This is my favorite and happiest song ever. Thank you. Thank you Carlos.

[@joeysnburg4254]

There's only a handful of guitarists that are instantly recognizable and Carlos is one of them! I listened to this album so many times my 8 track tape snapped! Thank God for cassettes!

[@keithklein8935]

All Santana music is excellent Love his instrumental

[@StereoSpace]

Listening to Samba Pa Ti is like having someone take you on a beautiful and amazing journey through their music.

[@deborahperaino1093]

The best years! In 1967 I was 18 years old with good luck and great friends. I went and saw Santana and many other greats..

[@bobina05]

This and Soul Sacrifice are my 2 favorite Santana songs. Just beautiful, from the heart.

[@lethalweapon4052]

Awesome pick Debi. Carlos Santana is an amazing guitarist and so extremely talented. I loved this

[@bowtangey6830]

Back in my 20's when I first heard this album, this tune brought me to tears. It touched the same spot in my heart that great poetry vibrates.

[@susanfrancois2449]

First time I heard this I was 15 it made me cry, I love it!

Another good song from Santana to chill to is Europa. Love me some Santana. Have a blessed day everyone.

[@rickgarcia8481]

Song of the wind is another incredible song that will put you in a dream state, remembering the beautiful times in your life... One of my all time favorites

[@bmosley62]

All Santana's music is great, but this is one of my fav! No words needed... U need to see him do this song live, he blows my mind just watching him. Saw him live few times, nobody else can replicate him! Thanks! ❤️

Beautiful song. I used to go to a lot of Samtana's concerts. He would play in central park every summer for free

[@stephenord3403]

My mum loved this 'tune' ❤. Ironing my shirt, and she'd hum to this. Miss you mum and dad.

[@remmymafia3889]

Legendary instrumental by Carlos. This is on their second album Abraxas, and it was his first recorded studio instrumental. From there, throughout his solo and the band' Santana's careers, he made more great instrumental songs. So many, that I was inspired back in '81, to record just his instrumentals on cassette. Whenever I brought that to gatherings, it blew everyone away. Incredible instrumental compositions- and this was the first.

[@lweddle5]

Great song that has lived the test of time and no need for words. It's great to solo dance to and the move the body. It's my first time finding you and thank you for use more than 1 or 2 words to express your personal reaction to this song. Some other KZbin video don't express themselves as well.

[@billr3724]

This song takes me way back to the days of customized vans, Boone's Farm wine, and EZ-wider papers. Good times.

[@jeffgedutis5743]

second that emotion

[@zimjun7]

Whoa.....Boones?.....farm wine? OOOOkay.... hahaha Musta been 15

[@emilyflotilla931]

My first drunk episode was on Boone's Farm, still turns my stomach to think of it. 🤮🤮 A few more years of consumption and I found myself checking into treatment. 38 years sober now, but the music still drives me! This one just always chills me.

[@Mark13091961]

When Carlos hits that first note I just melt everytime, literally brings a tear to the eye its so beautiful. My only regret when I saw them live in 1982 was they didnt play this. Perfection

[@davidward3122]

Abraxas. A real treasure. It blew everyone away back in those days. Hopefully people still appreciate it. No words needed for this track..

[@JustMe-vk4fn]

Dark summer night. My beverage of choice........light the fire pit in the backyard.....(inhale)........ let the day's cares just melt away. That's my memories of listening to Santana..

From one of my top ten albums Abraxas. Santana is one of the few that when you cam ID by one note.

Carlos Santana has a Master Class he teaches and the way he describes playing a guitar will blow your mind. The commercial always pops up on my KZbin feed.

[@barbaramatthews4735]

Santana is an awesome musician and composer. Funny that he gets other people to do vocals on many of his songs. He is still awesome. I'm getting ready to take guitar lessons if I could only be half as good I'd rock.

[@brainsareus]

He's not a lead singer, so why is it ''funny''??

[@barbaramatthews4735]

@@brainsareus "funny" as in strange or unusual. It's been done before with other artist. It's just not as common. You read to much into what i said. I really like Santana and many of the people who sang his songs.

[@melissaward6311]

Had the privilege of seeing this genius. Tell you what. He's just so perfect. Masterful. He did have an organist in the original Santana band. You were correct

[@gdubbya804]

The album Abraxas needs to be listened to in its entirety to be truly appreciated. Beautifully arranged, it just takes you away to some place inside where all is good in the world.

[@willieb3765]

great song by Carlos and company. Recently I came across a cover by a 13 year Austrian girl named Lisa Wagner - part of MonaLisa Twins. Close eyes and you cant tell if Carlos or Lisa, both such great natural talents. as for why the organ sounded "distorted" Greg Rolie was playing a B3 running thru 1 xor 23 Leslie speakers, the Leslies add the warrble
