Story & Background
Santana's self-titled debut, a 1969 CBS LP that you hold in your hands, is a monument to psychedelic Latin rock, whose resonance was amplified by an epoch-making event. Although released in September '69, the album already had an incredible buzz thanks to the band's explosive performance at the Woodstock Festival, just a month earlier, in August. Their electrifying performance of "Soul Sacrifice", in particular, with the young Carlos Santana moving in an almost transcendental state, was captured in Michael Wadleigh's documentary film. This pre-release global exposure not only cemented their legend instantly, but transformed their debut record from a promising debut into a cultural and commercial phenomenon of global reach. For many, the vinyl became the way to relive that cathartic Woodstock experience, forever sealing the link between the album and the myth of the festival.
