Description: Born in Autlán de Navarro, Mexico and raised in San Francisco, Carlos Santana merged Latin rhythms with psychedelic rock, helping define the city’s late-’60s sound. This self-titled album—often called Santana III—was the last to feature the original Woodstock-era lineup. During this era, the band was deeply tied to the Bay Area’s counterculture, performing benefits for political causes and sharing bills with the Grateful Dead and Jefferson Airplane, reflecting the socially conscious energy of the time.
