C&L's Late Nite Music Club: Santana 'Samba Pa Ti'

When I was very young I bought three 8-tracks for my new player. Santana was one of them.

I felt like playing a great Santana instrumental and 'Samba Pa Ti' fit the bill.

Ultimate Classic Rock writes, "The only song credited solely to Carlos Santana on 1970's great Abraxas album is also one of his most gorgeous instrumental pieces."

As Carlos Santana aged from his days at Woodstock, he only got better and better.

Open thread.
