grand daddy of latino rock dispenses the high potency medicine for the soul to telling effect on this 2002 release. Carlos surrounds himself with a diverse group of guest vocalists to give this album a cool contempory feel and an eclectic appeal. dido, macy gray and michelle branch offer the feminine softness to counterbalance the usual latino machismo and ebulliance often associated with some of santana's work, though the real revelations, on this side of the atlantic at least, are the two notable contributions from citizen cope (sideways) and Alejandro lerner (hoy es adios). These contributors however fail to upstage the master completely as carlos comes good on "victory is won" a good old fashioned anthemic guitar tour de force, up there with previous classics such as "samba pa' ti", "song of the wind" and "flor de luna" but with 21st century guitar effects. "Aye aye aye" is another great santana salsa romp which will not disappoint fans of abraxas and will probably get some people unfamiliar with latin music and santana on the dancefloor. An album which will please santana's oldest fans and also those who have just discovered what a treasure the music of santana is - which is obviously what carlos had in mind when he went into the studio. Ideal for 40 something's party night in suburbia or on the car hifi motoring up the M1 to a sales conference, Carlos delivers big style and introduces his audience to some great new musicians - though in aiming for mass appeal the album occasionally stumbles in to a morass of trite and unneccessary commercialism on one or two tracks.Read full review
