This song has me snakin' my hips and doing high kicks. I know that tomorrow I'll hurt in places I never knew I had, but oh - SO worth it! Love this....   |

I love that this band made a great version of 'Black Magic Woman" and most people don't realize its a great fleetwood Mac song

The instrumental outro has shades of Al Di Meola. Interesting that this album came out a year before Elegant Gypsy.
(There are probably shades of Return to Forever, too; their big albums came out earlier. But I wasn't paying much attention to them back then.)

I wish I could cut the end groove into a continuous loop and just keep it running.... Thanks, RP: I had actually not heard this song in a long time and forgotten how cool it is. Nice to have a departure from 2 minute 30 songs of most radio stations !!
The first part (the vocal segment) is mediocre, then all of a sudden it changes course and takes OFF!

Wow, I'm surprised this song is getting such a low rating. It's classic Santana man!

algrif wrote:You're partly right. A small edible banana from the Canaries, for example, is a 'plátano' in Castellano. But a big cooking banana, or plantain, is called a 'banana'. Of course, it all depends on whether you can definitely identify a cartoon e-motion as a banana or a plantain. 
xkolibuul wrote:All depends on your locale. Mexicans call a banana a 'banano' but call a plantain a 'platano'. They also have a bulky square-sided banana variety that is a 'platano macho'. In Central American spanish a 'platano' is similarly a plantain, but a banana is a 'guineo', and the square-sided one a 'platano manzano'. Meanwhile, in the english-speaking Caribbean, a banana is called a 'fig'. Linguistics is a blast  ¡Gracias a todos! Yes, linguistics is a blast. This is all fascinating, but I'm not going to remember this at all, at least not before I speak Castellano a LOT better. A banana is "un Plátano" and a plaintain is "una banana", except where it isn't? Pfff... I like the "plátano macho", though. I long for Indonesian/Malaysian: dozens of types of bananas, and AFAIK they're all "pisang something-or-other"¡Seguid bailando, mis amigos amarillos! |

Funny! I was thinking 1980s weeknight TV drama. 1070? Is that a radio call number? As in, when radio stations did the simultaneous stereo broadcast while Miami Vice was on TV? Other relevant numbers: 1 (my rating) |

I like Santana, but this song just goes on a bit tooooooooo long for my taste. Let's get on to something completely different.

No Alex Ligertwood (lead singer) and this version of his band that cut several excellent pop records in the '80's... they're all gone on to other things.
After that group's record sales started heading down, he disbanded it and did a bunch of different jazz collaborations with Buddy Miles, McCoy Tyner and other jazz artists, until the '90's when he started doing the guest vocalist pop records. |

Just when I think, "OK, enough noodling Carlos", things change and keep it interesting. It sort of has a Zawinul feel, or maybe Ponty....only on guitar, of course.

That's one Santana song you don't hear very often. Very nice.
