Album Notes & Community Reviews

Welcoming a young Neil Schon as a second lead guitarist, Santana expanded their explosive, percussion-heavy Latin rock sound to devastating heights. 'Santana III' is a fiercely energetic, incredibly rhythmic triumph, overflowing with wonderfully warm, highly sensual tropical grooves and intensely passionate, deeply psychedelic twin-guitar interplay.
