I kinda lost touch after Welcome. There always seemed to be something of interest in those subsequent offerings, just not solid, until Supernatural. That's me for that...

In fact, this song came from their stellar second album in 1970. Abraxis. Hardly generic. It was considered a bold departure from their debut. Likely older than you are. Not your fault. But, when you say "Great", I agree, particularly re: the timbale work on this song!

Great..another generic Santana song

The early 5-6 Santana albums are just breathtaking!

Only because of the name "Se A Cabo..." On the subway the other day I heard a couple of college students planning their winter break trip to my home town, San Francisco, when one of them sez, "My dad's got a place in Cabo. We should drive down there. It's only nine or ten hours." I had to laugh. Cabo San Lucas is at the tip of Baja California some 1,550 miles south of The City, probably 26-27 hours of driving time alone much less taking poddy breaks and the like. I don't recall being that clueless/dense in college, but who knows? Maybe I was.

BUMMER!  Got to leave the office ... and this magnificent piece of Latin boogie!

Never came up with anything original, but folks dig them anyway. Whatever.

I just bought a Hammond/Leslie last night. Maybe tonight when I get home I'll try to coax this kind of sound out of it. Should be fun.

OFF TOPIC, maybe ...

When telemarketers called, I used to tell them, "Wait just a second, OK?  I gotta get the baby out of the bathtub."  Then I'd put the phone down and ignore it for five minutes.  Maybe that's why they don't call me these days.

You are quite capable of going away, yourself. Even that one sentence indicates something - you're like the telemarketer's dream; you hate being called, but you answer the phone and then won't hang up on them.

Oh dear God.  Make it go away!!

I took a brief look at his comments page, and noted that his ratings form a bell curve, with mostly 7s, pretty much like anybody else's. His comments, though, are mostly snarky. So my theory is that Mr. Tex had his lunch money stolen by Carlos Santana in grade school, thus explaining his hatred for all things Santana. Also, I believe Mr. Tex thinks he's really clever, explaining the snarky comments. Just a theory.

I have both the vynil edition and the CD edition of this album, but not with me right now.
Amazon.com lists the name of the track as "Se A Cabo", which—of course—would be a misspelling
of "Se acabó" (which translates to "it's over") as you correctly point out. Why did they misspell it? I have no idea, only some predictable hypotheses. (I'm not Mexican, but fluent in Spanish )
Salud!

¡Se acabó!

I wonder why EssexTex even bothers to listen to RP.

Why is it called "Se A cabo"? It is actually written that way in the disc? because the sentence doesn't make sense. It should be "Se acabó" It is wrongly spelled, but why? is it intentional or a word game? if so then what is it supposed to mean?

Good luck with that.

Love Santana!

Not my favorite from this album but this album is my favorite of theirs.
