His signature sound of fusing American rock and roll with smooth Latin rhythm has kept us on our toes and on the dance floor for the last five decades.

Having lived through those times I am now a proud AARP member and card holder. Which means I get their magazine. Their summer music issue featured Carlos Santana on the cover.
The interview contains classic Santana gems that capture his charm and mythos.
“The universe will bring you an abundance of opportunities and possibilities. It’s really all about trusting that before you got there, when you were sleeping, the universe was conspiring to give you something to blow your mind. Would you be open to receive it?”
"You stay relevant by trusting you have something people need. You know, people need air; people need water; people need some serious rrrrrromance,” he says, rolling the “r” for emphasis.
"Three things: your spirit, your soul and your heart. If you find those and you really find them, you’re going to realize that innocence. Those things don’t leave you, and you don’t misplace them or lose them. Those are the ingredients for you to have a glorious existence.”
One of his favorite terms is naked awareness - the ability to see yourself fully and make changes away from the negative.
His advise to his younger self? “Strip yourself naked from anything that anyone taught you about anything. And only listen to the voice of your heart, the voice of your light.”
Advise we would all do well to follow as we trip through life.
