Like Coltrain, Santana in the search for new spirituality left a narrow religious confession.

God for me is not a specific God from the Bible, but universal spirituality, ”he said. Love Devotion Surrender discovered a whole, stretching for all decades X, a period of Santana’s passion under the auspices of the newly found by Sri the Sri Chimnoye spirituality. The joint work released under the name of the Jazz -Rok album of Welcome With Elis Koltrain, the great saxophonist, also took the Hindu name of Turiasangitananda, which means "the highest song of the bliss of the transcendental deity."

And although the concerts of the Santana group in the usual Latin -Rock style continued, the release of albums continued, the fascination of the leader more jazz -experimental sound - with an enthusiastic reaction of criticism, inevitably led to a decrease in commercial potential of au -super -abusive musician. Bill Graham, who by that time, took over the functions of the group manager, was clearly dissatisfied and insisted on returning to the usual mass public and brought both the group and the guitarist the success of the formula of the ethno-rock.

Santana also began to get tired of unreasonable and unreasonable requirements and restrictions on the part of Sri Chimnoy, who, in particular, refused his student to marry his desire. He also began to feel that Guru simply uses the fame of the musician to attract additional attention to himself.

And in the year he writes music for the Bayopic "La Bamba" - about the hero of his childhood and adolescence Richie Valens. But these records and the two albums of the group published in the middle of the decade, despite the frank orientation towards the Pop Sound acceptable for the mass audience, do not bring much success.

He claimed that “does not want to stay in X, wants to be in tune”, referring to the evolution of his idols, the great jazmens of the past Miles Davis and John Coltrain, who were not afraid of the change of musical direction and did not shy away from the appeals to the popular pop huts.

Three deaths and half a dozen lives: a quarter of a century without Miles Davis Davis agreed, making a reservation, however, that the album should remain a "branded Santana", albeit with a modern sound. Gradually, they together gathered the star composition of relatively young, but already received the recognition and fame of musicians from various spheres of popular music: rappers of Xi Lo and Wycliffe Jin, Soul-singer from the Fugees group Lorin Hill, mixing in their work of country, jazz, rap singer and musician of Irish origin, Mexican MANA, a native of South Africa, S.

Mainly, of course, thanks to the instantly recognizable and very characteristic sound of his guitar.

When the finished album was listened to Arista, the reaction was completely enthusiastic. And in combination with invited modern artists, we got the best of the two worlds, ”said one of the bosses of Paul Ganberg. And indeed, as the most classic Santana, a video for the song Corazon Espinado, recorded with the Mexican group Mana. The success of Supernatural has surpassed all the expectations.

The last of them, designed in the spirit of the classic Santana Blessings and Miracles with the participation of the great jazz pianist Chica Koria, was released in August of the past, years. YouTube content is over, 10 actually Miraculous Supernatural, during which the all -world media incident in Detroit, the last album and the most successful work of Santana of the last decades, has been around.

God, apparently, with Him, but in the choice between religion and music, music won. Meanwhile, his reputation as one of the most outstanding and innovative musicians of the second half of the twentieth century is steadily stronger. It was followed by numerous other awards. The former modest Mariachi Carlos Santan is rightfully among her.
