MITICO MUSICA




With Coke Escovedo, David Brown, Michael Carabello, Neal Schon and Greg Rolie gone, Santana were a new band in 1972 when they toured the West Coast of America and Canada. Carlos was reportedly sick at heart and depressed. It was during this time that he was turned on to Sri Chinmoy and became a devotee.

His music however remained positive as evidenced by the classic Caravanserai and the collaboration with John McLaughlin on Love, Devotion And Surrender. Santana kept himself busy with new projects but never lost touch with the band and his classic tunes.

By 1972, Carlos Santana was showing signs he didn't want to be just a Latin rocker. His Caravanserai album was still cooking in the studio [finally released Nov 11, 1972]. This would be his most experimental work from the period. The live album with Buddy Miles was released in August and on the horizon was work with John McLaughlin on the underrated Love, Devotion And Surrender album. But the best album of this period remains his lovely Caravanserai with its multiple personalities to be admired with every fresh listen.
