{"product_id":"abraxas-4","title":"Abraxas","description":"ABRAXAS, the second album by the original (and arguably most powerful) Santana line-up, proved the band's commercial breakthrough. The album's contains two of the group's biggest hits, \"Black Magic Woman,\" a slinky, smooth-edged interpretation of the song written by Fleetwood Mac's Peter Green, and their take on Tito Puente's \"Oye Como Va,\" which injects Carlos Santana's stinging guitar leads into a surging salsa groove. The band's unique, genre-blurring approach makes these singles--and everything else here--unlike anything that had been heard before.\u003cbr\u003eThe opener, \"Singing Winds, Crying Beasts,\" showcases Carlos Santana's passionate, soulful six-string mastery over a drifting, psychedelic backdrop. The album ranges in feel, encompassing furiously propulsive jams (\"Se A Cabo\"), low-key Brazilian grooves (\"Samba Para Ti\"), and jazzy instrumentals (\"Incident at Neshabur\"). All the elements that made Santana's debut dazzling--roiling, polyrhythmic percussion, dense, pancultural influences, virtuoso guitar work--are here--sharpened and painted with the rich, heady sound of late-'60s San Francisco (Santana was just as exploratory and innovative as their hometown cohorts the Grateful Dead and the Jefferson Airplane). ABRAXAS remains a seminal Latin-rock release, and one of the undisputed classics of the era.","brand":"MovieMars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52271829319967,"sku":"821797215268","price":47.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/7833\/0399\/files\/a5035847a41316ba02fdcf6026cec7f9.jpg?v=1777744301","url":"https:\/\/www.moviemars.com\/products\/abraxas-4","provider":"MovieMars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
