Delivered with a level of passion and soul equal to the legendary sonic charge of his guitar, the sound of Carlos Santana, one of the world’s best-known musical signatures, returns to The Colosseum on Saturday, March 17 at 9 pm.
From Santana’s earliest days as a ground breaking Afro-Latin-blues-rock fusion in the 60’s, Carlos has been the visionary force behind the artistry that transcends musical genres and generational, cultural and geographical boundaries. The group emerged onto the global stage with an epic set at the Woodstock festival in 1969, the same year that its self-titled debut LP Santana came out.

Ever since, for more than 40 years and almost as many albums later, Santana has sold more than 100 million records and reached more than 100 million fans at concerts worldwide. Their hits include “Oye Como Va,”, “Black Magic Woman,” “Evil Ways” and “Persuasion” as well as chart-topping collaborations “Smooth,” “The Game of Love” and “Whatever Happens”.
To date, Santana has earned dozens of industry awards including multiple Grammys, Billboard Latin Music awards, Billboard’s Century Award and was named #15 on Rolling Stone’s “100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time”.Don’t miss out seeing Santana live at The Colosseum!
