First of all, the music that people call Latin or Spanish is really African. So Black people need to get the credit for that.
Carlos Santana

I invite you, wholeheartedly, to read books that remind you of your highest self and emancipate you from mental slavery or false beliefs and illusions. The more you invest in attracting books that resonate with the frequency of your true self, the more light you will bring to the world.

I'm laughing because I know the secret of life. And the secret of life is that I have validated my existence. I know that I am worth more than my house, my bank account, or any physical thing.
Carlos Santana
Image
I'm ready to do something with Lady Gaga or Andrea Bocelli. I'm really grateful that nothing is out of the realm of possibility.

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.
Carlos Santana
Image
You can take things that Jimi Hendrix took, from Curtis Mayfield or from Buddy Guy for example, because we are all children of everything, even Picasso. But if you want to stand out, you have to learn to crystallize your existence and create your own fingerprints.
Carlos Santana
Image
I would invite all Latin people to do nothing for about two weeks so you can see who really, really is running the economy I am here to give voice to the invisible.
Carlos Santana
Image
When a baby comes you can smell two things: the smell of flesh, which smells like chicken soup, and the smell of lilies, the flower of another garden, the spiritual garden.
Carlos Santana
Image
A lot of people said to me, 'Enough with the guest vocalists for a while. We want to hear the Mexican play the guitar!'
Carlos Santana
Image
When you are in your heart of hearts, you can see beyond appearances.
Carlos Santana
Image
I am here to give voice to the invisible.

I think of music as a menu. I can't eat the same thing every day.
Carlos Santana
Image
Some songs are just like tattoos for your brain... you hear them and they're affixed to you.

One day there will be no borders, no boundaries, no flags and no countries and the only passport will be the heart
