Carlos Santana

I am here to give voice to the invisible.
Carlos Santana
Image
There's a melody in everything. And once you find the melody, then you connect immediately with the heart. Because sometimes English or Spanish, Swahili or any language gets in the way. But nothing penetrates the heart faster than the melody.
