Description
🎸 Santana – 1969: The Neal Schon Auditions / Hot Tamales Sessions CD
A fascinating archival release capturing Santana during a pivotal transitional moment in 1969, featuring early audition and session recordings with guitarist Neal Schon, who would later become a core member of Santana and co‑found Journey.
This CD compiles rare studio takes, jams, and early versions of tracks that showcase the band’s evolving Latin‑rock fusion sound—raw, energetic, and historically significant. The sessions include a mix of covers, early compositions, and improvisational jams, offering a unique window into Santana’s pre‑Woodstock identity.
The artwork features a vivid desert landscape with the classic Santana logo, matching the psychedelic aesthetic of the era. Ideal for collectors of early Santana material, Neal Schon completists, and fans of late‑60s Latin rock history.
