Africa Speaks

• Track Listing

Carlos and an eight-piece band set up at Rick Rubin’s studio in Malibu, and the music just gushed forth: 49 songs in 10 days! Santana has always passionately loved African music, and finally gives himself to it fully on this new album featuring Latin Grammy-winning vocalist Buika. Her voice converges with Santana’s soulful guitar licks, piano, vocal chorus, percussion and more on "Batonga," "Los Invisibles," "Blue Skies," "Bembele," "Candombe Cumbele," "Breaking Down the Door," the title song and the rest of the 11 tracks that Santana ultimately chose for the record. A career achievement (and that’s one incomparably legendary career, right there), on CD or double vinyl! Concord.
