Tal Wilkenfeld is like Obelix in the Asterix comics....she fell into bass playing when she was born or something...such a natural...gotta love her

Music connects hearts around the world. Borders, social positions, race and religion fade into the background. This lifts my spirit.

Just freakin AWESOME! There is so much beauty in this world! Thank you, Carlos.

All these young people with the legends knocking out of the park. It’s good to know there are new generations that still want to play this great music. I grew up in northern Minnesota and can still remember the first time I heard a timbale solo, I have always really loved that sound. Tito was the master, great stuff. Cindy is fantastic.

[Cherr]

This makes me so happy to see, not just for the amazing musicians (Cindy, you're amazing, as always), but for the theme of brotherhood and the universal language of music. That's never been more necessary than it is now. More, please.

[martinnauta]

Beautiful. Long live Carlos and all these beautiful people. Thank you.

[RickLincoln]

Forty five years ago and fifteen rows back I saw Carlos and his incredible band the first time. He's still blowing minds. Thanks Carlos and friends!!

[twofargne]

The great thing about Carlos, usually in the first 10 seconds I know it's him playing, even without seeing who is playing. He has such a unique sound to his music.

[danielkolb]

What a classic song played by a legendary band/musician. Loved the mash-up of all the different singers and musicians playing as if they were all together in the same place. Had me tapping my feet just like the first time I listened to it after purchasing Santana's Greatest Hits back in the day. Carlos looks and plays great at 75! Here's to another 75!
