Carlos is the master of space, sometimes leaving space is the best. He has always played like each note was precious.
I like that space place 🤭
Couldn’t agree more. Nobody lets a song “breathe” anymore. (Well, I am sure some artists do, but it’s woefully lacking in today’s world of auto tune, click tracks, and “Pro Tools.”) Grateful I came of age in the 60’s and 70’s.
With Carlos every note was precious.
IMO all the bast guitarists do that (Santana, Gilmour, Clapton, Knopfler, etc)
@@O_Towne_Bear
I had a quadrophonic solo guitarist album in 1972 and I can't remember who he was. We often used to just listen to instrumentals as words seemed to get in the way of life.
Carlos and David Gilmour are probably the two best examples of guitarists who bare their pure souls in the notes they play. Cheers....
Agreed, and I'd also add Andrew Latimer (of the band Camel). Pure emotion.
Yes completely agree with you 👍🏻
Good choice! I got the Animals Album David Gilmore is insane with those unique bends of his. I agree! Both choose notes for the soul.
.....and Gary Moore as well
@@MrThesem I'll throw in Gary Moore for you as well. Just listen to The Messiah Will Come Again live at Montreux and you'll
see enough emotion for 5 lifetimes.
Some people don’t understand why the band has his namesake since he’s not usually the vocalist, it’s because his soul is at the heart of his music ✨

Bingo!
😝He ripped it off LOL Few in the anglo market are aware. His version is cleaned up and musically better IMO vs Chilean pop band Los Ángeles Negros
He used to sing, early on, and I liked it, but he was too modest about his singing, and later got other people to do it.
Just like Van Halen had the guitarist (& drummer) last name as band name
Carlos is a spiritual guitar genius period
As a San Francisco boy, blessed to have seen Carlos Santana play in SF Mission District in the early years (70s). Black Magic Woman, Oye Como Va, and Samba Pa Ti are classic Santana that you have to listen to! 🎸
Oh please ad nauseum. I grew in SF same era as Carlos and grew with his CHANGE AND EVOLUTION. Those songs you mention were just the starters. He changed so much and his true contributions came later with his instrumentals.
Feel the same way bro about Frisco n Santana. Seen bro at AT&T park and shit was beautiful as hell
San Francisco boy here too, got a picture of him on 24th Street 1989 and his band on my living room wall, and was at this street concert!
Totally
Black Magic Woman - is an orig from Fleetwood Mac when they were a blues band with Peter Green .
This is probably my favorite Santana song. So much emotion in each note.

Hey guys! This song is so gorgeous! Another all instrumental one that is a favorite of many by Santana is “Samba Pa Ti”. You should do that one next!!
👍
👍🏼👍🏼
Hands down, wholeheartedly agree!! 🎶🔥🎸
Santana is the best soloists of all time ,bar none , specially if you consider the melodic emotional and lyrical aspect of playing , tons of people can play great runs and do technical wizardry but the emotion in his playing is unsurpassed, the crazy thing is a lot of his best solos are not generally known to even some of his big fans .
I've been a fan of Santana from the first time i heard them , and this song is one of the best, you can just loose yourself with it.
When Prince was asked if he thought his guitar playing style was like Hendrix's, he replied that what he wanted was to play like Carlos Santana.
Santana is one of a handful of guitarists who the listener can instantly recognize from their unique style. I was fortunate to catch him live a few years back and was amazed how he actually improved his technique with age. Simply an amazing artist. ✌️
Thank you for speaking the truth about there being a handful of these guitarists and not gushing over just Santana's mastery of the guitar...
So true, Andy.

I wore that album out in the 70's. I saw him at the Capital Center in DC in 1976.... Still one of the best concerts I've seen
My thoughts exactly. React to the entire album please.
Yes the live version is even better than this one! Moonflower is excellent. I especially like Transendance off he album. Probably my favorite song off the album.
There is nothing like Santana’s clean, soulful, screaming, gritty tone. As Jay likes to say…That Was Fire. 🔥❤️🔥🔥

Same here 🥰
I read his autobiography, a very interesting read. Highly recommend 🥰
Carlos is the champ of 🎸 🎸 🎸 No one can make the guitar talk like him. He is so recognizable from the first note. Absolutely amazing song. Great reaction. Buckets of Maple Syrup love from Canada ❤️❤️ 🇨🇦 🇨🇦
Carlos and David Gilmore.
David Gilmour…
😝He ripped it off LOL Few in the anglo market are aware. His version is cleaned up and musically better IMO vs Chilean pop band Los Ángeles Negros
@jfender8023 Los Angeles Negros are a great band but Carlos didn't rip them off. Bands don't own chord progressions. If anything Santana borrowed the intro note of Corazon Espinado from Eric Claptons Layla.
I'm 68 yrs old and that song still makes me cry. It reminds me of a song you would hear when leaving someone you love.
It's about the beauty and horror of Europe. The second half tells us that all hell broke loose and the bombs are dropping as the siren is sustained. The closing middle riff is the most demonic expression in Santana's repertoire.
Amber, when you want to raise your hand like you're in the front row in Church and the Mississippi Mass Choir is in the midst of "praise and worship", tells me you are feeling something out-worldly and not of this earth.
I love it!
Raise those hands!!!
It warms my heart to see you all getting into Carlos and his exotic guitar playing. He was my first guitar idol at an early age, all Hispanic people love Santana. I've seen him 10 times live in concert. Everyone is on their feet dancing to his songs in concert, it's beautiful!!!!
I love Santana.......I love his Guitar playing, his playing is orgasmic. You feel the music all over your body. He's brilliant, he's a Master of his Craft.🌹❤️💋🎶🎶🎶🥃
Blessed to be walking the planet with Carlos still around, also blessed to have seen this genius play live in concert!!!!!

Marvelous! Shows you that music is a universal language...young, old, man. woman, it can cross all boundaries
And his name sounds cool 😎.
If his name was Bill Hackleberry, I sure the band name would have likely been different. Maybe not, if they drew Santana out of a hat, the name is so cool, it might have been picked any way.

Glad you all FINALLY got into the REAL contributions of Carlos Santana. People GET STUCK on the first 3 albums that were latin hard rock, commercially successful. But he changed, had A SPIRITUAL AWAKENING and his most beautiful works were from that point on. They were his awesome compilations on CARAVANSERI, BORBOLETTA, and WELCOME for starters. Europa is a taste of that.
Absolutely, many instrumental riches in the albums you mentioned; I like the very relaxing "Song of the Wind" on the Caravanserai album

Those three albums are staggering .
@@DavidRolph Song of the Wind is about as good as it gets . And let's not forget Michael Shrieve's incredible drumming on this track.
Amigos and Festival had some great guitar work too. Less spiritual but more funky.
The composition in this song is one of the greatest I’ve ever heard!

In the early 70's Carlos and John MacLaughlin made an album together as part of the Mahavishnu Orchestra (73') called "Love,Devotion and Surrender"...the inspiration for this album came from the teachings of yogi Sri Chinmoy...as you can see this spiritual influence is very deeply ingrained into Carlos
0:44 Amber, I know how much you love horns so you’ve got to hear Europa played by the late sax player Gato Barbieri from Argentina. It’s unbelievable.
I was going to suggest that too!
Couldn't agree more!
@@Kevonutube303 Ditto!
That’s great that others are familiar with Gato (Cat) Barbieri. I wish I could figure out how to add a link to these comments. Thanks for the replies and thumbs up everybody 😊

If this doesn’t give you chills……. you always know it’s Carlos from the first note.
I was so happy when I saw this pop up! I haven’t heard this song in so long, but I am so happy to rediscover it. Another one (with lots of drums) is “All I Ever Wanted (was to be with you)”. I PROMISE you will love it 🙂

Spent nearly two weeks learning to play this in a band about 12 years ago. As many times as I had to rewind and replay it to learn it, it STILL doesn’t get old. Carlos’ style and phrasing are completely insane - thank you for losing that bet!
Carlos Santana and David Gilmore make every note count. They also make the silence count
Superb! The late Gato Barbieri covered this pretty effectively but both Carlos and Gato collaborate on Santan's Latin Lady. One of the best "duets" I've ever heard. I knew it was special when I first heard in on Gato's 1989 "Tropico" album. Definitely worth a listen.
Gato’s was off of “Caliente”
@@revo1336 are you sure? I have both albums and I don’t see Latin Lady on Caliente. Europa is on that album but he’s solo. Santana is with him on that cut on Tropico.
Meant Europa, not Latin Lady
@@revo1336 glad to talk to another Gato fan!
Take a listen of Moonflower, a double-album with a wonderful, eclectic selection of all the amazing music this band makes. Santana is a totally unique -- totally different than anyone else, and yet totally universal. Carlos is a treasure.
This is one of those songs where you just put on the headphones, turn down the lights, and let the music wash over you….
This song was the debut/wedding slow dance song of the mid 70s...love this song...I'm glad you finally got to it I've been requesting you play it since you started your channel
Another simular song I've been requesting is Colour My World by Chicago...you will mot be disappointed
He set out as a teen to marry the rock that he heard on radio and the local music he heard every day. He truly gives equal prominence to both styles and creates something brand now.

Beautifully said
Jay & Amber, You'll love Santana's "Everybody's Everything", "Oye Como Va" and "Samba Pa Ti"!!!!
Yes those classics
I second Oye Como Va.
Yes! Samba Pa TI!
Oh please give the orignal stuff a rest. They know the commercially popular stuff. Finally they are listening to the more EVOLVED SANTANA. (NO MORE OY COMO VA.- overdone). Who hasn't heard of Samba Pa ti? I grew up w/Carlos in SF and he became so much more than those early latin rock songs.
The actual name of this song is Europa (Earth's Cry Heaven's Smile)
What can be said? Carlos Santana is another level. From his acid induced legendary Woodstock performance to his collaboration with the world’s finest, Miles Davis and Eric Clapton to name a few, we are fortunate to live in a time with Carlos. He survived many tragedies and lost famous peers along the way only to re-emerge and revive the music industry.
Santana evolved over time in various genres from jazz to classic rock, blues and guitar instrumentals. No matter what sound, Santana offers a relaxing voyage, a romantic mood or some dancing . It’s all there.
It’s about time!!! Now check out Samba Pa Ti and Sueños
Actually, the full title of the song is "Europa (Earth's Cry Heaven's Smile)". Which might just be the best subtitle of any song, ever. And also: GREAT PICK! Jay, you should lose bets more often! jk Finally, Please give Joe Satriani a try. He's been doing guitar-led instrumentals for the better part of his four-decade career. He's one of the GOATs as far as guitarists go. Try "Flying In a Blue Dream", "Time", "One Big Rush" or "Surfing With the Alien" to see what I mean.

Beautiful song! Thank you for playing it! Another great instrumental song by Santana is Samba Pa Ti. It's a classic among Santana fans. A great choice for female Friday could be "game of love" featuring Michelle Branch on vocals with Carlos Santana on guitar. Thanks again for bringing back a great memory in music.
I had the great fortune of seeing Santana live on multiple occasions. I saw them open for the Grateful Dead and also on solo tours. I was once on the lawn at Merriweather Post, while they were playing Oye Como Va during an epic thunderstorm. The harder it rained, the harder they played. The entire lawn area turned into a massive mud pit and everyone was sliding down the hill like a giant slip-n-slide. Amazing show! Great memories!
sounds amaaa-zing!
@@kathybwell amazing fun, but the mud got everywhere. Very worth it. 😂
Saw Santana three times, rained each time! Awesome shows with good friends.
I absolutely LOVE this song. It's such a beautiful song. It reminds me of all the people, quinceañeras, and dances from my old neighborhood. I was in the old barrio a few years ago and it hasn't changed much. I saw shadows of myself in the kids there today. Listening to this brings me to tears from nostalgia.
Always been my favorite Santana song
Carlos Santana is the worlds best guitarist today . Both Mexico and the USA should be proud of this iconic legend and what he has bought to music . And he collaborates with so many fine artists . 3 of my favourite duets of his is Smooth with Rob Thomas . Put your lights on with Everlast ( a song he wrote while in Hospital ) and Just feel better with Steven Tyler
One of my favorite Santana songs, and like you said, it speaks for itself. No words needed.
Every time I hear this, I'm filled with such a sense of longing that it's almost painful. I have loved this exceptional guitarist, songwriter, and composer since I saw his performance at Woodstock 69. That was completely new territory, for a young man from New Hampshire, and I will never forget it
If you want to hear some more, check out his music with Gato Barbieri, a sax player from Argentina. He played with Carlos in several live performances, and Carlos guests on a few of Gato's albums... Caliente and Tropico come to mind. Songs like Europa, Latin Lady, She is Michelle, Poinciana... Just beautiful. I urge you to check out this great Latin Jazz maestro, you won't be disappointed, I promise.
Saw him live in the mid 80’s and in 1988 his song ‘You Are My River’ off the album Festival, was our wedding song. There’s a reason he was called Devadip. He is a master. ❤️✌🏼. Love you guys for doing what you do. Semper Fi
i never thought an instrumental track would be on this channel there's a first time for everything i guess
They’ve done some instrumentals before. Spyro Gyra was one.
@@gthekid08 I'm not that much of a music aficionado so I haven't seen all their videos thanks for setting the record straight but still... instrumentals are RARE for any reaction channel
As a teenager in the late 70's I would put my headphones (back in those days some little rinky dinks lol) Lay in bed with my cassette recorder and play this song fall asleep and I loved it! Thanks for the reaction, the post and bringing back some great memories! As always stay safe and much love.
Love this instrumental
As a guitarist of over 55 years this is one of my favorite pieces of music. So much soul a passion. I've loved it from the first time I heard and it on my Santana Playlist.
Santana played at the Greek Theater in LA a number of years back, maybe 15 years ago. As it was in my younger days, I didn’t have money for shows always, so at times we would hike into the hills behind the amphitheater, and this is how I saw Santana … (also Al Green and 1/2 a Radiohead show).
At one point in the show during a song break, blue lights shot out from the stage and into the hills where we were. We were not the only ones up there, but the lights shown directly on a friend and I, and Carlos himself saluted with a dedication, “This one is for the people in the hills!”
I can’t remember what song it was he played then, but I do remember he finished with a killer cover of John Coltrane’s “A Love Supreme”.
A Legend playing one of the best of his many classic tunes.a master guitarist. 🔥 "River" is another dreamy one.
A phenomenal cover of this tune was done in the late 70s or early 80s by Gato Barbieri with the sax as the lead instrument. Absolutely crushes it....sexy and romantic AF!!!
😝He ripped it off LOL Few in the anglo market are aware. His version is cleaned up and musically better IMO vs Chilean pop band Los Ángeles Negros
First notes brought me right back to high school 🥰
Guys, don't forget that the title of the song includes the line Earth's Cry Heaven's Smile, which gives an extra meaning to the song. Or, if you prefer, a broader sense.
Santana live at the Filmore 1968 is great !!! He also plays with Clapton in the 70's .
My younger brother went to record store and asked the owner’s advice for a LP as surprise birthday gift for me. The owner knew some of my expanded tastes back then, so, Santana’s new Europa LP was a great choice. Still on my shelf.
I could listen to this song on a repeating loop!! The music just enters the soul!!
Back in the 70’s I had one song recorded on a cassette and would play rewind for hours. Europa
100%
Santana was at my very first concert in 1978 at Cal Jam 2....I was only 15yrs9mos. Mom dropped me and my older brother off the night before. My brother went to get us drinks at about noon during the concert (before Santana) and I never saw him the rest of the day. I stayed to the end (Aerosmith) and then went to the tunnel going under the track and stuck my thumb out asking"anyone going to San Berdnardino?" Within about three minutes someone said come with us, and it turned out they lived just a few blocks from me.
Any song from their "Moonflower" album is pure listening joy!
I am so impressed that this song was recommended and that these two listened to it. Europa (Earth's Cry, Heaven's Smile) is, in my opinion, the only perfect song ever written. Not a note out of place. No moments of self-indulgence. No stray notes artificially added as a means to get to another note. This song is absolutely perfect. Obviously, my favorite song of all time. Saw Santana play it a couple of years ago when he came to my town. I jumped from my seat and screamed when those first immediately identifiable notes transported me out of my body as I floated on the music. And I was sober. Yeah. It was that good.
This and "Samba Pa Ti" are my ATF Santana songs. Listen to these two great songs with the late great Gato Barbieri on sax accompanying Santana.
I’m just now seeing this. Thank you for this reaction. Guys, I’ve never done drugs because I’ve never needed to. My mother bought me some headphones when I was a teenager, and this is one one of the songs I would listen to laying on the floor with my headphones on and with my eyes closed just getting high and emotional. Santana is definitely one of my all time favorites. ❤❤❤❤❤
Y’all need to check out Gary Moore Parisienne Walkways for starters followed by Still Got the Blues and about 20 more.
I love Carlos Santana. I hadn’t realized that he performed the song, Europa, here. I first heard it on saxophone, by Gato Barbieri. Wow. I would encourage everyone to listen to that version as well! It changed my life… 😉💖
I've been a fan of Santana since I first saw the documentary film of "Woodstock" in 1970 when I was 12-years-old. I didn't discover this masterpiece (and it is a masterpiece) until I heard it on AOR radio in 1976. Thank you, J&A for focusing the work on one of the greatest guitarists of all time.
I’ve been fortunate enough to have seen Santana Live 4 times…. 70’s ..80’s…90’s…2002. Always an incredible show like nobody else.
Carlos does his singing with his guitar.
One of my favorite songs by this amazing guitarist. You guys really really really need to check out a somewhat similar song by SRV - Riviera Paradise. Not as up tempo but same vibes.
Love Santana!!! I all in with everyone suggesting Oye Como Va, and Migra and Love of My Life, both from Supernatural, are AMAZING songs you should add to the list, too!!! Oh, and speaking of the Superbowl, you have GOT to react to Prince's Superbowl halftime-- without question, THE best halftime show EVER!!!! Ask anybody!!! 💜☔️🏈
Carlos played this at Bill Grahams furneal in San Francisco 1991. It just brings quiet tears every time l hear it.
If you want to see a great performance check out Santana when he played Woodstock
This is why we call Carlos a "Tone Freak". All the sounds he makes with that guitar! He is the King of Tone!👍👏
Now you made me cry! LOL
Boz Scaggs has a sweet, tender love ballad called "You Can Have Me Anytime" and right in the middle of it is a beautiful Carlos Santana guitar solo. It comes out of nowhere, and it doesn't belong there, but he pulls it off. It's worth hearing.
Carlos absolutely killed it in this track, if you get a chance, check out Gato Barbieri's version of "Europa", he slays it with the sax. Great reaction Jay & Amber.
Man how can anyone not love this. Santana is one of my favorite guitarists. A personal favorite of mine is the extraordinary Samba Pa Ti. (And ... if you ever get the chance, try listening to Jose Feliciano sing the words to Samba Pa Ti...that too is excellent.)
Have seen them at least 4 times! Such a gifted way to make his guitar sing. His most successful instrumental has to be "Samba Pa Ti"... try the live version from Montreux 2011... pretty awesome! Or if you like wicked percussions, try "Jingo" from the same concert! Enjoy!🪘🎸
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 X 1000 Definitely Live from Montreux 2011. 🎸😎
Thank you 😃. My favorite song from my favorite guitarist. Such emotion. Santana plays his guitar like a woman's voice. You can recognize his playing upon the first note.
Amber & Jordan, U guys need to react to Santana's The Game 🏀 Of Love ❤️ with Michelle Branch singing 🎤 this 🎶 Another great Santana song 🎶 will be Chill 🥶 Out (Things Gonna Change) featuring John Lee Hooker. U guys will enjoy 😉 those songs 🎶.
This song needs no words for sure. Santana is such a smooth, scintillating and diverse guitar player or I should say artist. He is amazingly creative.
I deff has words ! 😝He ripped it off LOL Few in the anglo market are aware. His version is cleaned up and musically better IMO vs Chilean pop band Los Ángeles Negros
Santana is one of the greatest, and they do have such a distinctive sound that you know exactly who it is when a song you've never even heard comes on. It would be great if you added one of my Santana favorites "Winning". It's another one that really showcases the guitar talent (link below). Thanks so much for this reaction! ✌💙✌
Winning - czcams.com/video/0FmPg4lrBKc/video.html
What an absolutely spectacular guitarist Carlos Santana is. The band is equally incredible. Fantastic reaction guys 😎👍
As a San Francisco native you feel so much pride listening to Santana. I seen bro perform at Oracle Park aka AT&T Park (SF giants baseball stadium) back in 2016-2017 and shit was life changing.
If y’all do more Santana can you please do “flor d’Luna” off his moonflower album? That was one of my fathers favorite songs before he passed on. I’d hella appreciate that shit. Rip Pops
San Francisco native here, and still here, got a picture of Santana on 24 th street from 1989 playing in the street on my living room wall

Santana's song 'Hold On" from 1982- ish is remarkably very good. (Hint, hint) 😉
Has a great video too! 😆
His duet of Europa with Gato Barbieri is magical.
Rob Squad has been sadly negligent vis a vis Santana. More please!! "Oye Como Va" and "Samba Pa Ti" and "Smooth" or "Maria Maria."
It amazes me how there are many lead guitar players that as soon as you hear it, you know exactly who it is.
Carlos Santana is one of those fabulous people. ❤
The live version on "MoonFlower" is THE version to hear first. As good as this is the live is SO much better. In fact, everything on Moonflower is phenomenal.
Yep!
This is a love song! Telling a story! Gorgeous!
Outstanding! _Oye Como Va_ is a must as well from Carlos.
So glad you finally got around to listening to Europa. Now, you REALLY need to check out Gatto Barbieri's cover of Europa. Light some candles, dim the lights, and prepare to be amazed. Gatto's version should come with a WARNING!!
Guys! I am so glad you finally played this one! Now, you should find the cover version of Europa by a cat named “Gato” Barbieri. He’s a sax player, passed now, that did an amazing version of his friend Carlos’ song.
One of my favorites tunes by Santana and I believe this cut is from the "Moonflower Album" which was excellent but he did do this song on "Sacred Fire" album as well and took it up a notch because it was live.
Amber you are right, Carlos started out as the “Santana Blues Band”. He came to San Francisco from Tijuana, Mex. as a kid. His dad played in bands in T.J. and had young Carlos playing with him at these clubs. As he grew older he wanted to play and did start his own Blues band. The Famous music empresario “Bill Graham” heard him play and asked him to work in his famous club, “Fillmore West” (washing dishes) apprenticing there with his band. In 1969 Michael Wadlegh was putting together a little 3 day Outdoor concert in “Woodstock, N.Y.” and wanted Bill to send him Musicians that he had signed, such as Janis Joplin, Jefferson Airplane, Sly and the Family Stone, Country Joe & the Fish, etc. etc. Bill said “sure, but I also have a new young band that I know you will love, they play Afro-Cuban Rock”. Wadlegh said “send them!” and the rest was history. Santana is a Guitar God! Please, next time and ever time , React to his Video’s, he’s so much better to watch working his magic on the guitar. Check out his “Europa” Live from Mexico……. SanJoséBob
He is a Master. Whenever you hear his guitar, you know it's Carlos. I got the goose bumps.
Carlos Santana has always said:
“I don’t play the guitar, the guitar plays me!”♥️♥️♥️
Santana puro tijuas.he can make you step out of this world for amonent. Moon Flower , Bella ,canela, the healer light ,love, and life and many, many more beautiful songs, you got to play more E Palate another one
This song was played at my dad's funeral one of my all time favorite guitar solo's ever
Santana bassist Benny Rietveld once commented that when the band played Europa before its Supernatural album success in 1999, the fans would go crazy when they heard Carlos start playing the first few notes of Europa. After the Supernatural album success, Benny said that many of the new fans reacted like, "What's this?" It's not surprising since the band continues to garner fans from new generations, many who have yet to discover the vastness of band's iconic song catalog dating back more than 50 years.
