SANTANA: "Song of the Wind" / "Flame Sky"

Here's a little slide show put to the music of two of my favorite Santana songs, including some words of spiritual wisdom from Carlos Santana. Enjoy and be blessed!

[@donnasturgeon5002]

You got that rite 😊

[@markhamilton3838]

Whenever I hear this masterpiece, I’ve always pictured myself on a small yacht in the Gulf of Mexico looking out over the water , sunlit , splashing up. Going max speed. Celebration of life ! Thanks to God for gifts of music to Carlos and Neal.

[@raymondmaynard2438]

Love to jam to this on congoes with my head phones Only two musicians that make me feel really feel my congoes Miles DAVIS And. C SANTANA when they hit certain notes I go to heaven and my congoes come with me

[@leroybickham2628]

Caravanserai us still one of my favorite albums of all time; of any genre of music. 🔥Fiya

[@DanielGarcia-zg7ir]

Carlo's inspirational music and guitar helped me cope through some tough times in life .I am very blessed and honored to have been exposed to his music..I am a product of th 60s..and i have followed him through out his career and will continue to do so.. VIVA CARLOS SANTANA..#1GUITARIST EVER!!🎸🎸

[@danomanno747]

My dad’s favourite guitarist at the end of his life, and I’m starting to appreciate his playing more. A great philosophy to life shown in his quotes. One of forgiveness, anti-hatred and a belief in something higher than himself. Exactly what my dad believed.

[@markstanich64]

SAW SANTANA 2 TIMES IN TEXAS IS AWESOME

[@johnbrannon9608]

I got hooked on Santana in 1970 when I was in Vietnam, and I don't think that there is anybody that can touch Him on a Guitar.

[@Orcastruck]

Maybe Frank Zappa or Jimi Hendrix but yea I can understand your view point

[@paulconvery680]

His band mates are perfect. Carlos always has great vocalists, pianists, percussionists, etc.

[@rickgarcia8481]

Song of the wind has always been my favorite Santana song... The way it builds up then slows down... What a beautiful song

[@williampayne5584]

They would never play all of these songs,,,, back when I was growing up, sorry everybody, I love old. (Santana, high, high too.).

[@williampayne5584]

I love all of santana(1969-1980)

[@williampayne5584]

[@williampayne5584]

Ol' coma fa,,, let the children play,, people of the sun, I forget real fast, 65, hope I'm for given,

[@douglassmith5211]

[@jerrymoreno988]

This touches my heart reminds me of deceased wife who I miss more more each passing day of my life!

[@williamdriver6205]

This music doesn't have to be composed, it just has to exist, and it will take you where ever you want to be.

[@ronpetersen2815]

How can it exist if it hasn't been composed? What does this even mean?!?!

[@keiferreefer1]

I remember one summer long ago, the first time I heard Santana , some neighbors turned me on to Carlos , sitting there listening to Abraxas, I was like wow, this is different , but really cool. Carlos always leaves my soul feeling good, good vibes.

[@GebreMenfesKidus]

:-) :-) :-)

[@ArturoRodriguez-xh3vk]

"Let the children Play'

[@hendrik-janvanvuure6752]

And that one (Let the Children Play) is from Festival, much later into the 70's, and so different in style than Abraxas

[@cedarmountainradio1446]

This song is like a wave of delight, of forward movement of life itself, a force which would love to carry you along with it if you'll let it. Joy, energy, love, life itself - oh so good...

[@enriqueramos7594]

I,be been listening to Carlos since he came out with Abraxas & the song that cought all my attention was Incident at neshabur that song opened my senses Thank u Carlos.

[@JonathanHorwitz]

Dear Carlos, Thank you for these beautiful words and this beautiful music. "Song of the Wind" opened my heart 50 years ago, and opens it further each time I hear it. And, Gebre, Thank You for putting all of this together 🙏 ♥

[@SnoMor62]

Most people don’t realize that Song of the Wind belongs to Carlos & Neal Schon as the greatest guitar duet ever!😎

[@ladylight66]

Well no matter who wrote it Carlos Santana does an absolutely magnificent job with it❤🎉😂 I saw them at the first Woodstock Festival and they took down the house and rocked the countryside the countryside

[@mandoz5441]

Neal was only 18 years old when he recorded this song with Carlos

[@albertobetto522]

I hope that Mr Santana and Khruangbin make some music together

[@raymondmaynard2438]

It is 2023 sat 21oct listening to a timeless song 🎵 created and played by Santana band who never grow old like the wind just keeps blowing along and around the world 🌎🪘🪘🎸🎸

[@mandoz5441]

[@donnasturgeon5002]

Heart and soul...living legend song....crosses through time....this counrty has lost it's soul...we shall herald a new day...September 8 2023...get real ..Amercia...people of honor..lives...

[@danomanno747]

My late dad would have loved this video. This one’s for you dad.

[@lazycalm41]

I agree with you ! Caravanserai & Welcome are so overlooked in my opinion, these 2 albums along with the amazing Borboletta are Santanas greatest mid 70's masterpieces! Flame Sky is simply stunning & Santana at their most trippiest!

[@hagar6359]

Don't forget the swing of delight. There is so much good in that album, cool cool music. Hey I suppose its all good really

[@garylove5475]

Yep Serai , Borb , Welcome and the superb Swing of Delight are my go to Santana albums when I want to really listen. Add to these Oneness must never be overlooked…

[@italomarioenriquemaresio5827]

Gracias Dios por regalarnos está música ... Bendiciones para Carlos Santana y su música !!!!

[@joachimbecker3048]

Carlos..in high of his Art..this Song stay with me since i heard first time.. its like old good wine

[@RaulDiaz-kf3fr]

The most incredible music ever played in this planet

[@paulharte2178]

Nobody plays guitar like this! Other than Carlos...Transcedance😇

[@walgato1956]

Está canción del viento te transporta a otra dimensión. Los fraseos de Santana son inmensos, perfectos. Y es nuestro, es latino. Y no se enojen mis hermanos mexicanos porque un argentino dice que la música de Santana es nuestra y es mía también xq soy latinoamericano al igual que ese tremendo guitarrista y compositor que es Carlos Santana.

[@mauriziocapitanio2068]

Carlos santana è molto ma molto italiano e Italiano del Centro Sud .... alcune radio locali ... di fatto lo Boicottano o e per me sono in difficoltà a mixarlo con altri brani .... di fatto li sovrasta quasi sempre ....

[@mubangadbmulenga]

That strum just takes it to the ❤ best of one of the many great pieces of music

[@myroseaccount]

My school friend and I opened a present from his father which was Oneness xmas 1980. It blew us away

[@MrELMENDA27]

Got hooked on Santana after viewing the Woodstock movie. I have every album since then.

[@frlo6969]

EVERY STEP OF THE WAY ❤❤❤❤❤ 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@joematchain4451]

I'm So One Of The Biggest Fans Of You CARLOS SANTANA. IVE BEEN FOLLOWING YOU SINCE '1970' SEEN U SIX TIMES. AN MY DAD IS ALSO CALLED 'CARLOS' AN ALSO USED TO PLAY GUITAR 🎸 PASSED IN '94' MY FAVORITE SONG FROM YOU WAS, [ SOME WHERE IN HEAVEN ] THANK YOU FOR YOUR GREAT MUSIC THROUGH OUT THE YEARS. LOVE YOU.

[@TH-wq2yw]

Caravanserai,I thought, when I first heard it when it was released, was a Masterpiece! Then my buddy, Lockwood and myself, listened to it whilst trippin ,it was on a quadraphonic system his older bro made. It never lost it's magic to this day. Right RK. Sadly we don't speak much anymore.Such is life! Yogananda ROCKS!!!

[@roqueb9]

Nadie en el mundo, como este señor, Carlos Santana, humildad y talento.

[@JoseNava-qr9ib]

para mi esta es una de sus mejores composiciones para el que entiende de musica

[@sergioherrera3029]

👌🏽❤️⭐⭐⭐⭐🌟 only you Mr Santana #1 🎸🎼

[@jesusrivera743]

Caravanserai this album ahead of its time fountain of rhythm a percussion masterpiece God bless Armando Peraza

[@reneangulotrujillo1]

[@elickcohen66]

When life's problems get me down I hunt this song, and take me to a place where only my inner self is invited!

[@rodolfopuentejrrodolfo2972]

[@amsedelm]

Igualmente. Samba Pa Ti tambien. 8)

With the passing of are beloved Carlos l play this eternal masterpiece and smile and say thank you with all my heart for you're music, Rest in peace with are beautiful Father in HEAVEN. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@DanielGarcia-zg7ir]

Carlos is not dead.. Carlos Santana lives.... his brother Jorge Santana who played with MALO passed.. who as a.matter of fact showed Carlos a thing or two on the guitar 🎸

[@tinaporr8745]

Doesn't get any better than this!! Always so amazing....touches your soul!!!❤

[@dadduorp]

Carlos was definitely at the top of his game in these tunes (and time) as far as chops go, but let's not forget that a huge portion of Song Of The Wind is actually played by Neal Schon.

[@garylove5475]

And awesome contrast organ playing by Rolie..very soulfil, subtle but adds another dimension to and flavour to the duelling guitars. Never ever get tired of this track..never😺

[@mandoz5441]

Neal was only 18 years old when he recorded this song with Carlos

[@sturobertson77]

Greetings from the South of England 😊 This song has helped live life so strong. I really hope that it can inspire others too

[@kuburaya829]

Best of Best musicians SANTANA THANKS

[@leroybickham2628]

I have absolutely LOVED this brother from first listen. A friend of mine lent me the Moonflower 8track tape. 😁. I didn’t know where to put my brain! I told him that it got destroyed. I just couldn’t part with it. ( Bought him another later).

[@Mwananzo]

Obrigado Gebre, beleza, my two favorite songs of Santana & Friends as well, blessings from Africa!

[@ladyofthelight6466]

Awesome !..thank you ...i Love Carlos Santana

[@JoseCastillo-fk3mb]

Nunca saldra una canción tan subliminal co esta, y no sebe de extrañar si sabemos de donde viene, el.sonido del viento extraprdinria melodia, sin desperdició.

[@enriqueezpeleta5050]

Fab “👌🎸🎸👏👏👏

[@lal4718]

If nature had a theme song this would be perfect ; )

[@seamusbrowne4909]

When Carlos was EXCITING!!!.😎😎😎

[@csantana9]

Add Santana's 'Waves Within" instrumental and u have possibly their 3 best instrumentals, at least my 3 fave but I love many of their instrumentals/

[@catelewis7223]

Beautiful, thanks fore sharing.

[@michaelhaynes6256]

To me, this is a jazz fusion song.

[@amsedelm]

I read that this is a guitar duel between Carlos and Neal but they both sound so identical. I always thought it was all Neal.

[@q2w3bn876]

Carlos and Neal have also later stated that it was fully intentional to make them sound identical, making the transition between the guitars smooth and almost seamless.

[@jam2873]

Love you Santana! 👍

[@JorgeEduardoSoper]

Muchas gracias, Gebre Menfes Kidus, por compartir !!!

[@mamiferosdoblues9141]

ESSA CANÇÃO ME FAZ LEMBRAR A EXATAMENTE 41 ANOS ATRÁS, UM AMOR IMPOSSÍVEL E QUE ATÉ HOJE É EVITADO SER FALADO E PENSADO POR ELA, POR MIM TODAS AS VEZES QUE ESCUTO ESSA MÚSICA, CONSIGO ME TRANSPORTAR PARA O MEU PASSADO DE LÁGRIMAS E RISOS. EU TIVE AO SOM DESSA MÚSICA ALGUNS 15 MINUTOS DE BEIJOS E ABRAÇOS FORTES E O MEU CORPO SE FUNDIA EM UM SÓ AO LADO DELA, BEIJOS DESEJADOS E ESPERADO POR TANTA ETERNIDADE E AMOR. A MÚSICA AO FUNDO TOCANDO NO MEU CONJUNTO JUNTO POLYVOX NO VINIL FOI EXATAMENTE ESSA.ESSAS MÚSICA EU BATIZEI DE " SONG OF THE ZÊNEA " ASSIM É A HISTÓRIA DESSA MÚSICA.

[@georgebiocini2533]

I saw them in 1968 in the summer at a bowling ally before their first album .I knew they were destined to be great .I was 17 then .I was mesmerized

[@georgebiocini2533]

It was called the funhouse in South Lake Tahoe

🇫🇷💯💯💕🎸🎸🙏👏👏👏👍💋💕🎸 un génie de la guitare🎸🎸💋🇫🇷

[@wopellegrini58]

Carlos Santana es mucho, mucho más que Oye Como Va o Samba Pa Ti. Es jazz fusión de lo más delicioso, es etereo como aquí, es grandioso como en Onneness. Hay varios discos de él que son muy poco comerciales y casi desconocidos por la mayoría. Vale la pena explorarlo.

[@FrogbottomTwohee]

Wish I had a picture of the poor guy in traffic on the Tijuana side of the border. It was slo-mo. He was battered, bleeding, probably drunk, just trying to get enough together to eat. Pray for him, and if you find some good slides of Tijuana, not just the tragedies that exist on both sides, pls add them here.

[@forevertwowheels930]

Since his music is divine, I shall call him a divinitarian.

[@gaspareloycarreraquiroz1809]

Su música es incomparable ninguno como el maestro Carlos Santana bendiciones

Simply one of the baddest dudes on the planet.

[@robertopolanco6851]

Me encanta esta versión extremadamente.

If it weren't for "Samba Pa Ti," this would probably be my favorite instrumental.

[@rosalindmodica]

Great work Dear Gebre...awesome to have the quotes from Carlos. Love and Light Blessings

[@denisroy9596]

Samba baby!!

[@joeybenoit6269]

I think this is Neil Schon!! He wrote it for Carlos he plays almost the whole instrumental piece and I think Carlos plays a little at the end?

[@mikeh39]

I believe you are correct. I read an interview with Neal Schon in Downbeat magazine back in the early 1980s where he states exactly that.

[@tinopalomo4395]

I can dig it my Friend's

[@juanbendezuvaldez]

espiritual guitar song

[@q2w3bn876]

Yes, Carlos and Neal Schon in an epic guitar battle.

[@joeybenoit6269]

He definitely was inspired by Eastern Vedic Hindu philosophy!
