Santana专辑介绍
让拉丁音乐走向世界的Santana在旧金山成立的乐队的第一张专辑，其实在此之前他们已经做过两次录制专辑的尝试，但是由于作品不能达到Santana想要的一鸣惊人的效果，被他们自己枪毙掉了，而这张厚积薄发的专辑果然一炮打响，有多首单曲打榜。
这张专辑在滚石杂志选出的500张历代最强专辑中排名第150位。
Santana is the debut studio album by the San Francisco chicano rock group Santana released in 1969. It is a release of largely instrumental music, recorded by what was originally a purely free-form jam band. At the suggestion of manager Bill Graham, the band took to writing more conventional songs for more impact, but managed to retain the essence of improvisation in the music.
The album was destined to be a major release, given a headstart by the band's seminal performance at the Woodstock Festival earlier that August. Although "Jingo" failed to create much interest when released as a single, "Evil Ways", the second single taken from the album, was a U.S. Top 10 hit. The album peaked at #4 on the Billboard 200 pop album chart.
In 2003, the album was ranked number 149 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time.
