Our music is Homo cooking that s what i relate Santana looked out of place in the backstage area of the elegant alte oper in Frankfurt. West Germany dressed in baggy yellow and Pink tie dyed pants and to shirt with Mal chm Cap. The soil spoken mustachioed mexican appeared Asil he would to More at Home in a 60s coffeehouse indulging in herbal Lea and homemade brownies than sipping red wine and sampling Finger Lood with the Yuppie types of the Gorman music Industry. But he did t need to worry about others relating to his Home cooking " out in the concert Hall a Well mixed crowd of Santana fans had just gotten their fill Young hispanics in the u s. Military proudly displaying a life size mexican Flag danced to the Rock and jazz inflected latin rhythms somewhat older German fans passed joints during the 1970 Santana classics Black magic woman and Oye Como a and those of the boiler dressed set kicked Back in seats High up on the Balcony. Alter some 22 years in the music business Santana has maintained its popularity around the world even in countries As Remote from latin America As the soviet Union where the band performed in 1987, we re popular in Russia because we Don t represent Middle while America like Billy Joel and Bruce Santana explained. Santana represents the americas from Canada All the Way to Brazil. The people not corporate Rock thai s what i behave and that s what i m going to continue to Santana is outspoken about his beliefs and Adamant about them. When he Speaks of life. Love humanity and the spirit one gets the ice Ling the words should be written in capital letters. Terms like government and patriotism have no place in his personal dictionary. Thai s Why. When to discovered the mexican lag in the audience. The guitarist scowled and waved it away i m not into flags Santana said. I mean i appreciate being mexican but i m not into hags and All that kind of slut i m into people. My Flag is a Man a woman a Little child and the Sun. Thai s my Flag it s Santana says to knows Well that he May offend some of his countrymen but he stands firm in his convictions. I know a lot of people a lot of mexicans really gel uptight when i Don t go through Tho stuff that they feel he said i Don t mean to slap anybody in the Faco or throw cold water on anybody but i have to be Strong to my beliefs and my belief is that we will make faster Progress in we get to the business of being human rather than Santana. The band emerged during san Francisco s Haight Ashbury Flower Power Era. Alter a riveting performance at the Woodstock festival in 1969, Carlos Santana soon began to receive kudos Lor the pure Lone of his guitar playing and his fluid Stylo a Stylo that is As intense As his convictions. I have never had guitar heroes or Rock n Roll heroes he said. I like people who get right into Tho Battle of life and they say what can i do to make this world bolter so when i leave it might be belter than when i came in now that s Beautiful. That to me is music. That s what music is about Harmony and complementing Santana says he plans on continuing to make new music and to keep growing As a guitar player. He Hopes to keep learning from and performing with such musicians As Wayne Shorter Jimmy Cliff Jimmy Page and Mccoy Tyner. Miles Davis Lold me that i have a mind of a student and a heart of a student so i la always be a student he said. And a student is always hungry to one thing s Lor sure you won t Lind Santana singing songs Lor Pepsi cola. I Don t support corporations i support people s hearts because people s hearts will always come Back to me. Corporations Are for greedy people there s very few corporations who put Money Back into humanity.,that a what this band is about is hopefully about connecting ourselves with the spirit and giving in Back to Santana continues its tour with performances in me lol towing locations.
