Carlos Santana teamed up with Otmar Leibert, and asked Ry Cooder, right off
of the Buena Vista Social Club sessions, to produce them, this is what you’d get. It just kicks! Click to see the album trailer on youtube or you can hear the whole album free on Spotify.
Most of the songs are reworked from their own catalog, recorded with pianist/arranger Pete Wilson and C.U.B.A. (Collective Universal Band Association) in Havana, with producer Peter Asher. Guest artists included Anoushka Shankar, flamenco and jazz bass legend Carlos Benavent, former Testament and White Zombie drummer John Tempesta, Le Trio Joubran, and Los Van Van drummer Samuel Formell Alfonso.
Guitarists Rodrigo Sanchez and Gabriela Quintero started, independent of one another, playing heavy metal in some of the toughest clubs in Mexico City though they also played together in the metal
group Tierra Acida. They went on to become the most recognizable flamenco duo in the 21st century.
