Abraxas is an LP by Santana from 1970 released on the CBS label.
About this album
Abraxas is Santana’s breakthrough fusion classic, and one of the great early statements in Latin rock. Released in 1970, it built on the success of the band’s debut by sharpening Carlos Santana’s guitar voice and blending Afro-Cuban percussion, blues rock and psychedelic improvisation into a striking, coherent whole. Their version of Peter Green’s Black Magic Woman and the driving Oye Como Va became enduring calling cards, while the album’s mix of fiery rhythm and melodic focus helped define Santana’s international breakthrough. Widely regarded as a key album in cross-cultural rock, it remains a cornerstone of the era.
