Santana formed in 1966 in San Francisco, California.  Mexican-native Carlos Santana was born July 20, 1947, in Autlan de Navarro, Mexico and he moved to San Francisco in the early ’60s, by which time he was already playing the guitar professionally.  The group is the primary exponent of Latin-tinged rock, particularly due to its combination of Latin percussion (congas, timbales, etc.) with bandleader Carlos’ distinctive, high-pitched lead guitar playing. The group was the last major act to emerge from the psychedelic San Francisco music scene of the 1960s and it enjoyed massive success at the end of the decade and into the early ’70s.
